WAshington Examiner ^ | Feb. 16, 2018 | Katelyn Caralle

If you think there’s some magic, unicorn law that’s going to stop it from happening, just keep in mind that he violated probably dozens of laws already, including murdering people. That's against the law," Scalise, R-La., told Fox News host Laura Ingraham Thursday night.

“So, you know, this idea that one magic law is going to stop the next one from happening, it’s not,” Scalise said.

The minute an authority figure broaches the name of Big Pharma all hell will break loose in the swamp.

It is just a Liberal Talking Point. The police were at his house 39 times in 7 years and did nothing.

The problem with using new laws to prevent future terrorism/mass murder is that you are reactive in passing the new laws/security measures. They will come up with a new method that bypasses that previous measure of security, and the cycle will keep progressing, if unchecked, into a situation where you are choking under tyranny and terror all the time.

Perimeter security and access control. It’s too bad it’s come to this but they either need to get the bad apples out of there before they explode, or everybody need to get checked for weapons, every time they come in or out. Have to. Can’t have schools keep getting shot up and just say oh well.

We don’t need to start with more gun control laws. We need to start by putting God back in our schools and society. The minute we kicked God out of our schools overall morality began to plunge.

Well you could investigate and restrict the conditions allowing the of and monitoring of psychotropic drugs in young boys, but then that would be too much like solving the problem.

What the bible calls the “law of love” has gone ever more missing, hollowed out, without power, because we have been strangers to God.

I don’t know what will get America calling to God, whether it is a manifestation of Satan so bad it cannot be ignored anymore. Maybe Rocket Man really does nuke a US city.

And we would have shamefully deserved it.

How about....you can't even TOUCH a firearm unless you are over 21 years old.

The saddest part is that Nick didn't shoot his parents. If anyone should have been shot it was them.

While I'm here....Fox News quoted him as saying he "heard voices"......anything to do with this patent I wonder??

That still won’t be practical on a secular level. What, maybe 99.999999% of pediatric SSRI users go on to perpetrate nothing worse than misdemeanors?

I am always amazed in reading Revelation. Mountains are falling on top of them and they still won’t repent. So the answer is ...................................

Kind of hard to shoot someone who is already dead. Watch that devils of rage don’t inoculate you with rage too.

Re: “So, you know, this idea that one magic law is going to stop the next one from happening, it’s not,” Scalise said.

Well, their is such a magic law and if you want to know about it, read my tagline below and then read the book.

The novel depicts a world where genetic selection for increased health, longevity, and intelligence has become so widespread that the unmodified 'control naturals' are a carefully managed and protected minority. Dueling and the carrying of arms is a socially accepted way of maintaining civility in public; a man can wear distinctive clothing to show his unwillingness to duel, but this results in an inferior social status.

Gadzooks, Bob-- Your rascal... you always got it right!

There’s that too. God’s got souls waiting in the wings, and He’s got a program for all of them, in which they own their ultimate choices to embrace good/salvation or ill/damnation.

I hope you are being sarcastic. I started hunting at the age of 12, which is still commonplace in many states.

Also, there are going to be a lot of Army and Marine privates that won't be about to do their jobs for their first 3 years of enlistment.

Well the world isn’t going to get a lot safer in general...because the reward for killing people is a lifetime of care taking. What did this shooter stand to loose? Nothing at all...

With a certain bent of people, that would give us evil geniuses who are that “fastest outlaw draw in the west.” We keep thinking good morality is easy to unearth — sometimes it is not.
