A former student opened fire on students today at a high school. There are at least 17 dead. 'Number of fatalities' after shooting at Parkland, Florida, high school, senator says
This is unreal, so heartbreaking. I don't know how we will ever stop these mass shooting from happening, seems like there's no end in sight.
“Thoughts and prayers” is all the government will offer because the NRA buys them. Maybe political contributions should also be limited to thoughts and prayers
This is sad. It's going to go on until every single school requires every kid to walk through a metal detector, and every school has armed security standing by to react. The guns are going no where in this country, and gun control will never exist. People will own guns illegally for the sake of protecting themselves, because the criminals will always have them, regardless. Get your concealed carry permit....
Metal detectors still won't solve the problem. school starts at 7...when and where can I go if i want to kill the kids i hate?
Its that time again, guys Here come the thoughts and prayers And not a bit of acknowledgement that America has a gun problem And no action to correct the problem Rinse, repeat.
Of the schools that have had problems with weapons, metal detectors have made a huge impact. I don't like it, but that's just how it is in some places. When I was in school any kid who brought a weapon never came back. And it didn't have to be a gun, one dumbass brought a bayonet. The REALLY bad ones in high school didn't go to a reform school or to the juvenile system, they went straight to "Q" (San Quentin). By the late 70s the worst of San Rafael's school problems were over. When I graduated the only arrests at school were dope dealers. As usual this sort of incident draws the gun control crowd. Personally, I'd rather we talked about the maniac control problem. When Dylann Roof murdered people in a church, the gun control issue came up right away, but it was sidelined by the quest to eliminate the confederate flag, an effort that led to monuments being torn down and few people who actually remembered the names of Roof's victims. Using something like this to score political jabs is ghoulish.
I'm not following what you're asking here. The kids (and teachers) get scanned as soon as the doors open for the day, no matter what time that is. What are you referring to in the second part of your statement (where to go to kill kids you hate)?
Seventeen (17) killed. https://www.floridatoday.com/story/...ted-shooting-broward-shooter-large/338311002/
I take my gun and I go to the metal detector. I don't go through. I wait for my targets who will inevitably be there and shoot when I am good and ready. George thinks metal detectors will help. If they do then I am as much for them as the next guy. I know they wouldn't keep me from my plans if I had them though.
Yes that's what the people in charge want. As we can see. We had a drug problem. Being that making them illegal made them go away...im sure the same will happen to guns. One single thing can solve the problem. Make gun factories illegal. Good luck with that one.
Yes, there is. There are solutions offered literally every time a mass shooting happens but nothing ever comes of it because the NRA has everyone so brainwashed they think the gubberment is going to come take all their guns anytime they hear the word "gun control." Close loopholes on private gun control sales. Create uniform laws in all states barring anyone who has been convicted of a CDV or stalking/harrassment charges. Enforce harsh penalties on stupid parents who dont lock up their guns around children - thats my own idea, I don't know if anyone in Congress has ever suggested it - in lieu of that, create a public health campaign educating the public on how to properly lock their guns away when they live with a minor...should be common sense but obviously isnt. Institute a voluntary buyback program Study what has worked for other countries and institute some of their policies Basically anything that discourages the crazy gun and violence culture that exists here would at least be a start.
The fact that metal detectors won’t solve the problem doesn’t mean we throw our hands up and do nothing
Yeah, I understand where you're coming from, and your point is that it could very well happen outside the school, anywhere off school grounds, etc. Its difficult to stop all of it, I get it. Ultimately I don't think we have a gun problem, I think we have a crazy people problem. And some how, someway, we have to figure out how to make it hard for them to get thier hands on weapons. Gun owners have to be more responsible to ensure thier kids or kid's friends don't have access to thier firearms when they aren't home. Responsible people need to simply lock that shit up. Then there's cops that shoot and kill unarmed people. That's a problem. They need better training, they need intensive training, and should be held accountable for stupidly killing unarmed citizens, and not get acquitted so easily. I heard on the radio today that some police chief or some city official somewhere is requiring his police officers to get random lie detector tests as well as urinalysis tests. It's a great idea. It puts tainted law enforcement on the spot, and levels the playing field when it comes to accountability. I think every time a cop discharges his weapon, and kills a citizen, a lie detector test should be administered to assess his or her state of mind.
The guy had some crazy stuff on his twitter. Florida School Shooter Nikolas Cruz, 19, Deranged Social Media Account
The kids predicted it. They said about Cruz, that the would be the one that would shoot up the school. Mass shooter named as ex-pupil classmates predicted would 'shoot up school'
They could have done something as early as Dec 25th to avoid this, the signs were right there. All the the stupid people that "liked" those post.......(shaking my head)...... They were all too busy doing this:
