“It is very normal to be flaming liberal when you are young.”
Well then I relish in the fact that I was abnormal (conservative) as a kid then.
That’s the style that bull dy*es prefer.
The AR-15 had been on the market since 1965.
Semi-auto rifles have been on the market since 1890. Here is a nice one made in 1906, 112 years ago. Pretty, isn’t it.

If we don’t show compassion for these youths who saw their friends slaughtered, we will lose the coming elections. If we don’t feel that compassion, we deserve to.
My house is situated very close to a police station. It does not deter crime one bit. My neighbor’s vehicle was broken into last month. The number of vehicles that speed by going at least 10 mph over the posted speed limit far outnumber those that obey the speed limit. I could go on and on.
I was thinking more that a swat team or at least armed police could be at the school in 90 seconds after the alarum was sounded. I don’t think you can equate response to petty theft and speeding with response to a gunman next door.
We couldn’t possibly tell the little snowflakes they cannot have guns.
Dr. Spock told us never to tell a child no!
Dr. Spock was an idiot.

Is that different than what I said?
[The AR-15 is more than 50 years old.]
I assumed the retort would be about response time. If we were serious about that, there would be metal detectors at each and every entrance to schools as well as armed guards at each and every entrance. That might actually provide a deterrent effect.
My point was proximity to a police station does not equate to response time or a deterrent effect largely because most police stations are staging areas for police persons to punch a clock and pick up their patrol vehicle. A dispatcher sits inside, but next to no police do.
Response time to assault, breaking and entering and petty theft or response to / patrolling for even more “innocuous” things like speeding and other traffic violations is also nearly non-existent in close proximity to a police station.
Interesting. In NJ there are always police in the police stations, the shift lieutenant, captain, patrolmen on desk duty at a minimum. So judging from what I know it would work here.
