So would have allowing students to conceal carry, but somehow, I don’t think that came up in this “round table”.

Biden needs a mental health check, He actually believes he can ride Obama’s coat tails into the White House.

Hey, Ok there Joe Bippy!

Now why don’t you just run along like a good boy, and tell that to the ACLU?!

THEY happen to be the ones who are the staunch “defenders” of the absolute “rights” of the mental whack jobs on the streets! Including the “right” to keep their insanity from public scrutiny.

Oh, and as memory serves me, it was the ACLU that forced states to open the doors of their insane asylums and let the inmates take to the streets.

Screw the mental health check on gun sales, We need to implement mental health checks on all those running for office as well as those already in! And as SERKIT points out whats the point when it’s the Friggin psychiatrist that’s doing the shooting!

A vasectomy could have prevented Joe Biden.

If only his parents had known in advance what a pathetic moron they were going to conceive they could have prevented it.

Not having incompetent cowards and corrupt liars running our country, would have likely prevented the brutal deaths of 4 Americans in Benghazi.

Hey Biden, please, have your damn stroke.

BS. Was Nancy Lanza mentally ill? So far no one is proposing any new laws that would have prevented this tragedy

A trained person with a ccw in the classroom would have had a better chance for prevention.

A judge failed to act correctly in the VATech case ~ he could have commited the guy but he sent him to outpatient therapy.

Biden knows that ~ wonder why he's telling lies about the situation ~ perhaps the judge is one of his buddies or something.

I was on campus when the shooting happened. The school ignored the problems with the shooter. He should have been kicked off long before the shooting.
