Teaching children to be powerless in the face of horror such as this is central to the progressive agenda.

Exactly. In every case — everyone — the FBI was either tipped off or was aware the person was a potential threat.

We are not powerless ... at least we are not powerless *until* Obama and his minions take our guns away ... then we are powerless ... just like they want us to be. How about we start arming the teachers instead.

If guns are gone, how can the tyrants be killed?

The tyrants are screaming for gun control

If “Caring for our kids is our first job” then do it by allowing teachers and others to carry and having armed guard presence.

Get rid of the ‘gun free zone’ signs and put up ones that say, ‘protected by armed personnel’.

Yet Obama was powerless to stop the mass killings by Muslim militants during his 8 years, including Fort Hood, San Bernardino, Orlando, and the Boston marathon.

. 'But we are not powerless. Caring for our kids is our first job. And until we can honestly say that we're doing enough to keep them safe from harm, including long overdue, common-sense gun safety laws that most Americans wants, then we have to change,' Obama said.

Gee, jackass, you and the Dems passed no such laws when you were in full control 2009-2010, eh? Could it be that passing such laws is political suicide, and for good reason? And it's not the NRA, it's incurring the wrath of millions of patriots.

Maybe Trump isn’t powerless, but Obama sure was. He had the House/Senate and Presidency and didn’t fix this problem. So it is OBAMA’s fault and he should keep his mouth shut.

Just remember, that the Bill of Rights can’t be touched.

I'm certainly no Constitutional scholar but I suspect that you're wrong there...at least from a "Constitutional" point of view.

Is there anything that can't be added to the Constitution in the form of an Amendment? My guess is that there isn't.Is there any part of the Constitution...including Amendments...that cannot be modified or removed through the Amendment process? My guess is that there isn't.

Now would any removal of,or modification of,the 2nd Amendment make it all the way through the Amendment process (including three-quarters of state legislatures)? My guess is that it wouldn't.But if I'm correct *there* we're talking about political realities rather than Constitutional law.

Anyone else find it amazingly creepy how the Left uses dead children to pimp a failed 1960s political agenda before they even find out the most basic fats about the event?

HOW about instead of being part of the problem O, you start looking at how Leftist lawyers, and the political class, have created a legal system where it is impossible to do anything about a clearly deranged lunatic until AFTER he shoots up a school?

Under your opservation. The 2nd amendment was put in place to protect a free state, ie citizens. Take away the 2nd, and all the rest follow. It’s there to protect each citizen from tyranny. Albeit, it’s totally voluntary.

Try to confiscate, you have chaos.

I'm not arguing in favor of repeal or modification.I'm only saying that my understanding of the Constitution suggests that repeal or modification could be "Constitutional" if done in the same way in which other Amendments have been added or repealed.

The argument you're making is a political/philosophical one...one with which I agree.

Just sayin'...

Agreed. 3/4 of the states will not ratify the repeal any of the Bill of Rights. Stay safe.
