Wednesday’s mass shooting in Parkland, Fla., is the latest tragedy to befall a nation accustomed to headlines of gun deaths and the partisan political response that follows them. The gradual decrescendo that accompanies such horrific incidents — from outrage and thoughts and prayers to cooling off periods and eventual inaction — has long been familiar to Americans. Yet the killings in Parkland have come close on the heels of other acts of semi-automatic slaughter. Three of the nation’s 10 most deadly mass shootings have happened in the last six months, taking the lives of more than 100 people.

Gaining access to cockpits with nothing but knife cutters. We are a nation of sheep.
SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe the tide is turning on getting these freaks locked up in treatment facilities.
You’re exactly correct; I’ve had similar experiences.
I probably should have said “psychiatric drug USER control.”
Probably not, since most people are aware that the most violent crime occurs where guns have been made illegal. Conversely, as concealed carry laws were approved, violent crime rates have dropped in state after state, despite the dire predictions of the Democrats and their media affiliates.
It’s time to ban psychotropic drugs or at least drastically limit the amount of time they can be administered.
Hmm They keep telling us that almost all mass murderers are white males.
May I use that piece? It is very well written.
God gave us free will.
We can use that free will to defend ourselves against evil. Or we can let others use their free will to prevent us from doing so. I know which way I am going to use my God given abilities.
Well I’LL check back in with you the next time your “free will” “allows” some crazed killer, you never met, to go on a random rampage.
You are missing the point completely.
I am not saying my “free will allows some crazed killer” (your words) to go on a rampage. That is an idiotic statement. I don’t see how you arrived at it.
What I am saying is we can take action to alter the flow of events. God gives us that ability. Given the choice between sitting, unarmed in a room, praying to God the killer doesn’t come in and sitting, armed and ready in a room, praying to God to guide my aim, I know which path I would rather take.
However there are those that want to prevent us from having that choice.
Show me the scripture that tells us God wishes us to stand passively by and witness the events He has prescribed.
Sure.
My problem it the thinking that crime can be prevented. Just as with enemies in war, the criminals always get a vote. The also get the element of surprise. You could give every single student a personal Secret Service agent and still not prevent an attack.
