"School Shootings Are Just A Fact of Life"

It is a fact. It has happened more than once. Just as many crimes repeat themselves every day.



Some of the human population is nothing good for the rest of the population.

It has been that way since the beginning of time with humans. So how do you blame a political opponent for telling the truth? He is shrugging his shoulders wishing these things did not happen. He cannot change what happened in the past. I am sure he and Trump will do their best to prevent it in the future.

Are you promoting an Alex Jones conspiracy theory that school shootings are not factual?

He was found liable for that. Like $877 trillion kajillion or something. Be careful here.

He's not "just shrugging his shoulders."

You may not like his remedy, but he is proposing one.

Personally, I think we need to go further, and over a longer term, look at what's driving this and potential mental health solutions.

Whether its more security or restricting access to guns, both are short term solutions that don't address the underlying issue.

No, we don't have to worry about that because it is a tiny risk. We have far more to fear from sore losers calling fair elections crooked, and undermining the entire republican/constitutional project.

The call is coming from inside your house, Arch.

What is the underlying issue?

now!

All we want to do is make mass shooting more difficult.

The following might help:
Ban the sale to the public of "assault weapons". As well as parts and ammunition. Reinstate the Assault Weapon sales ban.
No confiscation (except what is already in the law). But adopt a voluntary buy-back program with strong compensation, for guns and ammunition.
Ban so-called "cop-killing" bullets.
Ban the sale of high-capacity magazines.
Ban ghost guns.
Require a license to buy any firearm and ammunition.
Require a "graduation process" to obtain and maintain a gun license.
Mandatory buy back program for weapons acquired with a license for anybody who fails to renew their license.
Implement a federal mandatory background check for all gun sales. No loopholes. And hold private sellers accountable if the gun sold without a check or to an unlicensed buyer is used in a crime.
Give courts the authority to confiscate guns from people who they consider a threat to themselves and others. (Red Flag Law)
Raise the age limit for buying any kind of guns to 21 (at least)
Implement strong nationwide cash-for-guns programs focusing primarily on assault weapons.
Repeal the PLCAA and investigate gun manufacturers and gun lobbyists' role in passing it.
Require manufacturers to alter design of guns sold to public to make them as difficult to be modified as possible.
Declare gun violence a preventable public health problem. Give the CDC funding an resources to study the relation between certain mental illnesses and gun violence.
Repeal DoC v Heller given that the decision is based on factual historical and linguistic inaccuracies.

Perhaps examine a time when anyone could buy a gun from a magazine and kids could bring their guns to school for marksmanship programs after school and none of this happened.

Why? What changed?


Breakdown of family? Kids not growing up with chores? Kids being out on Ritalin for years? Kids not being raised properly? Kids being coddled and not able to take adversity (like being called a name)

I’m sure it’s a large list but certainly definable.

Or do we keep pretending that kids being able to walk to school and. Wing able to leave doors unlocked is ridiculously old fashioned. And we have progressed to the point where more locks are a sign of progress.
