America`s Gun Culture

[Eamonnca1]

They don't trust teachers with library books. But apparently they want to trust them with guns. Even while trained armed police didn't have the guts to do anything. You couldn't make it up. The Republican Party is an evil death cult. And it must be brought to its knees. #RepealThe2nd

Lots of questions to be answered by local authorities and whoever else was there , lucky a border patrol agent responded to the situation and took the piece of crap out . Ironic that most of the posters responding would like that agency to be disbanded .

The border police? What a stupid stupid part to put in at the end. Armed police who have no issues squeezing the life out of people for traffic offences stay out of the building because of fear of being shot.. in turn this manic who on his 18th birthday buys guns, goes to a school and kills kids. But you focus your post on people wanting to disband border police!

What a twaty thing to concentrate on

Never mind that I doubt if a single person here has EVER asserted that the border patrol should be disbanded.

But, then you look at which poster is making the claim...

[Armagh18]

That seems to be the case.

Good guys with guns---and training---not enough to even challenge a bad guy with a gun.

Who the cops? Hmmm....

Jesus Christ you'd like to think that if some bastard was in a classroom shooting children you'd go in and try and save them no matter who you were or how well or poorly trained.

Whole "good guy with a gun" line is a bunch of nonsense

Some of the high schools here are absolutely huge-it could take you 10 minutes to walk from one side to the other

Parkland had an armed school resource officer and it didn't make a blind bit of difference. I believe the protocol was/is to establish a perimeter which makes absolutely no sense whatsoever

[J70]

These politicians are living in cloud cuckoo land if they think arming teachers and putting an armed vet in every school is the answer. The shooters, like this guy this week, will just equip themselves so that they can shoot their way past. Its utter madness. Anything to avoid the bleeding obvious fact that the ludicrous availability and access to these weapons is the issue.

And then you get the other "argument" - "what's an assault weapon?" Or "there's no such thing as an assault rifle". Go away to f**k.

pointing out who actually went in and shot the guy and what agency he represents is twaty ?
You normally are only worried about the color of the attacker and if he surrendered or was shot .
An 18 year old buying 2 rifles is insane and that law should be changed but dreaming that law abiding people are giving up any guns is not realistic.
The police in the USA are demoralized and doing a terrible job in most parts of the country for a number of reasons and for the last few years seem to be more interested in staying out of any situation that may be dangerous of controversial and are trying to hang in there to get out with a 95% pension when the time comes . Ps they are not the ruc

GMAC-all the extreme lefties I follow on Twitter are using this as an opportunity to demonize Border Patrol. It's disgusting

Yes, extremists, in general, are morons.

Right now its not realistic, because the GOP and the NRA have made unfettered access to any kind of weapon a central plank in the culture wars and they are currently an extremely powerful political force.

But when it comes down to it, do the majority of gun enthusiasts really want everyone, everywhere to have unfettered access to military-grade weaponry?

Do they have a logical argument against why someone should not have:

1. to complete a proper background check, like you now have to do for many jobs or to even to get TSA pre-check/global entry membership?
2. to complete a proper gun safety course?
3. to have a gun permit?
4. access to the ownership of assault weapons without some very good reason?

Do the majority of police really want to be dealing with untrained, unrestricted members of the public who are in possession of weapons and protective gear that wouldn't look out of place on a battlefield?

The blame for these deaths and all those gun deaths in the US lies at the door of the GOP. If you vote or support them, then you're complicit. It's really that simple.

Fair fucks to Beto O'Rourke.

About time a Democratic politician showed some balls and confronted these ghouls.

Let's hope we see plenty more of this.

The likes of Abott are absolutely enabling these mass murderers. Hit them over the head with it. They've no answer.
