This one could have been avoided pretty easily. First, do this, always: Tell authorities when you spot a genuine weirdo, as multiple people did this time. The cops were very familiar with this guy and multiple citizens warned them. So this one is on failed law enforcement. Then do one of the following, but only one. 1. Removed gun free status and allow teachers, staff and parents to CC like they can anywhere else. 2. Keep it gun free, but if you are going to disarm the innocent, make it like courthouses and airplanes. i.e. Take full responsibility for the safety of those from whom you've taken away the freedom to protect themselves. And own in LEGALLY. i.e. a shooter gets in, expect to get sued by the family of every single victim. Option one or option two. Please pick one.

Silly me. It’s just like the right to abortions. Right? And the right to own a car. Well maybe not the car since they are heavily regulated right. Sure you’ve seen the register guns like cars plan being touted by people who have no clue as to what they are talking about. Sigh. Knew this was coming Wednesday when we first heard about it.

Repealing the Second Amendment won’t help. Not with the dozens of systemic failures surrounding this case.

Better solution. Let’s specifically exclude ie close down the NY Times as it is a weaponized entity against the 1st Amendment and the Constitution generally.

The Declaration of Independence spells out some of our most important God-given (not man- or government-given) rights. That is why the Declaration of Independence is so important in understanding the presumptions of the Constitution.

Great reply. I would finish it off though ... tyrants and weasels like the NYT actually would have their freedoms defended by those who cherish and safeguard the 2nd Amendment - the very people they hate.
The 2nd Amendment did not cause this problem. Other things did and if they were honest about it, they would admit to how much has been caused by their political and cultural leftism. Again, they are trying to advance their agenda on the suffering and deaths of others.

It should always be remembered that this is the same NY Times that used Gatling guns for defense during the 1863 Draft Riots.

Leftists lie - its what they do.
Yes yes yes. Its all they have, because logic, reason, fact and natural law defeat their arguments, which exist upon emotion and falsehood.
Proggies are adult children, intellectual adolescents, developmentally retarded by our pubic school teachers for decades. Gov teachers, MSM and lawyers enemies within. Harsh but true.

Before giving up guns, America must storm the New York Times and smash the presses.
