A one line answer to gun grabbers in the wake of the Florida school shooting.

I think I have come up with a really elegant retort to those that call for banning firearms after the Florida school shooting.

Liberal: "WE NEED TO BAN GUNS TO PREVENT ANOTHER SCHOOL SHOOTING."

Me: "I say we ban children instead. It would be more effective than even gun bans at preventing another school shooting."

It does two things: It shocks the person who uttered the gun ban line, and it demonstrates the absurdity of trying to ban things to prevent school shootings.

Or better yet - require all schools to become Catholic Schools. There was a thread earlier that indicated there has NEVER been a school shooting at a Catholic School.

That'll create another set of problems.

They’re going to have steam coming out of their ears or piss them off enough to attack you (while proving your point).
I just tell them to close down government run schools because they are cesspools where kids don’t learn anything.

“All the better to achieve their ultimate goals, one of which is the total ban on private ownership of firearms.”

A ban on ownership of firearms is just a step to their final goal: state ownership of everyone and everything.
With themselves at the top living large.

Unfortunately a liberal would probably like that idea

Or you could ban government schools. Shootings always occur where the tuition is free.

Yes. And like the Snake Oil salesmen, they want their useful idiots to think THEY will be living large up there with them.

But there is only so much room at the top, and as they would say in moments of frankness: “You are either us, or you are little people.”

“It’s against the law to murder.

It was against the law to possess a firearm at this gun-free location.

The FBI was notified twice about this kid.

The evidence proves the school was completely aware of the instability of this kid.

The local police were called to this kid’s house multiple dozens of times and did nothing.

Yeah, it must be Trump and the NRA’s fault. Democrats are in trouble and need a demon to agitate their base for the 2018 election. This is why you are seeing Hollywood starting to put up money to fan the flames here.”

Needs repeating at every opportunity but at this point, I’m tired of talking. If someone thinks they can stop mass shootings by taking away my legally owned firearms, come try to take them.

The Lakeland shooting illustrates why the age of majority needs to be raised to 21 years old.

Or higher.

I like "higher". Raise the age of majority to 60. I'm 64 😉

I’d been thinking that schools are the common element in school shootings and that we should ban them, but banning children is even better.

Well the nuns of yesterday did a pretty good job. Get out of line and they beat the crap out of you. Go home and complain to your parents, and they'd beat the crap out of you for disrespecting the nuns.

Catholic data was fascinating, but likely is signicantly a proxy for union vs. non-union schools. I’d love to see the data on NEA schools vs. non-union shops. There likely will be some AFT or even smaller player shot ups, but “Ban the NEA, not the NRA!” may rally the right better than an explicitly pro-Catholic message and it would hit the left harder.

A parent or parents of murdered teens by this school murderer should bring that lawsuit, asap!
