“We can do all the things we can to help students, but at the end of the day, if a student has the notion to go shoot up a school”
That notion is evidently very easy to dissuade, given that zero mass shootings have taken place at schools that allow people to carry. Such people are cowards, abd there is ample evidence they seek out soft targets for their attcks. All we have to do is remove schools (and grocery stores and shopping malls) from the list of “soft targets”.
Looks like all shootings are lumped into this statement. From what I've read, most of the public mass shooters either had documented mental illness or were known by those around them to exhibit troubling behavior.
This is just the first step in legislating the “outing by ANYONE” against someone who they feeeeeel is dangerous.
Could be anyone you know, anyone you pissed off, or just someone who is jealous or just hates you because you’re a conservative and might have or want a gun.
No competent and legally bound and legally responsible professionals, no legal court officials, no law enforcement officials with proper prior evidence of ‘troubling events.’
Just your everyday TikTok, Instagram, Twitter or Facebook twit with some political axe to grind against you.
“If somebody comes to a door with a semiautomatic weapon,” Cook said, “that’s it then.”
Should be:
If somebody comes to a door with a semiautomatic weapon...cook them.
Maybe shooting a perp while he’s outside for 12 minutes....
Maybe hanging corpses in cages had some deterrent value, as ugly as it is.
I read about an ancient Greek suicide epidemic among young women; the authorities put a stop to it by ordering that the bodies be dragged naked through the streets.
I have no idea how you deter the ones who plan to surrender alive. Heap scorn upon them for picking soft targets, children and grandmothers? The Buffalo shooter was considering churches and schools as alternatives Not, for some reason, the Crips’ corner. He’ll spend his life in protective solitary, or it will be a short and tortured life.
Gun control will not work. There are over 400 million guns in this country and with 3D printing, it is easier than ever to print your own gun. Blaming guns for the actions of a madman in this case makes as much sense as blaming cars for the actions of another madman in Waukesha. Its not the implement. Anybody willing to commit mass murder is not going to care about any law you pass.
Let’s see. The Soros appointed Democratic DAs all over the country are refusing to prosecute criminals, many Democratic Governors want to defund the Police, the Biden administration has opened the borders to illegal aliens and terrorists and many school systems are planting perverted ideas about sex and gender. Is it any wonder kiddos, young people and even older folks are becoming mentally unstable?
What a load of šš©.
Every situation has a “expert” hindsight genius.
āPerhaps it is time we stopped pretending that medical-sounding labels contribute anything to our understanding of the complex causes of human distress or of what kind of help we need when distressed.ā
We didn’t have many mass shootings back when mentally ill people were confined and treated in county/state level facilities.
returning to teaching the 3 r’s instead of their teaching confusion, division, and hate might help stop this madness...
Mass shootings impossible to prevent with gun control laws.
Isnāt that mental health field the pool of folks planned to replace the police?
What do you mean they canāt handle it alone.
That IS the plan! There will be no police in their perfect world.
