Right to lifer? Where am I wrong on guns? Do you have any logic today?Originally Posted by Rod Kaufman
Spoken like a real right to lifer...
It turns out there was NO school resource officer on the scene inside the school, so the killer wasn't confronted.Posted By Mel Maki |
No! They need to have the police training for school shootings. What ever training the man in charge there had, he made the wrong decision. It happens.Originally Posted by Rod Kaufman
Or a school resource officer, just like in Parkland...

That stat surprises me, but at 70 I have pondered how miserable would a person have to be?Originally Posted by Jim Moscheck
So, living in a red state causes suicide? I'd kill myself, too.

They might have been waiting for a team with shields that could stop a .223, .556, or AK round. These are the rounds most encountered in the AR-15 type rifles.Originally Posted by James Lacey
A large group of heavily armed cops wearing body armor and training was too scared to engage an active shooter with an AR-15-style assault weapon. But sure, let's count on deputy-dog and Doris the lunch lady to defend schools. This thinking is sheer madness. We have to do two things as far as I'm concerned. First, we have to eliminate the ease of access to powerful assault-style weapons. No civilian needs a weapon of war for self-defense. Simultaneously, we need to pour significant resources into detecting and stopping shootings before they happen. This means we need red-flag laws and teeth and bite to make them effective. Until these two things happen, the next school shooting is entirely inevitable.

Although, there is evidence the shooter was NOT mentally well.Originally Posted by James Lacey
Of course, they are alluding to the fiction we have a mental health issue, not a gun issue. While it is true that the Buffalo shooter and the Uvalde shooter had mental health issues, we as a nation are not a mental health outlier. But we are an outlier on guns.
It's the guns.
It's always been the guns.
At the Pulse nightclub shooting, there was an officer on the scene. Other officers arrived within two minutes of the shooter opening fire. The shooter still managed to kill 49 people and wounded another 50. No chance it would have been that deadly if he hadn't had an AR-15-style weapon, the Sig Sauer MCX.

You can't type anything that would help me "get" something on this subject.Originally Posted by Rod Kaufman
You know why I'm so pissed about your post about the rifle being "weak"? Because I've seen and responded to this same BS argument before in another mass shooting! Same crap about it not killing deer when it clearly can and does and if some sort of rule exists somewhere in some state, it's obviously and proven wrong by those who use it to kill deer elsewhere. I also recall arguing with a con in the forum who claimed the round couldn't penetrate walls in a building.
"The following is a partial list of when an AR-15-style weapon was used in a mass shooting":
Feb. 14, 2018: Shooting at Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Florida leaves 17 people dead.
Oct. 1, 2017: The Las Vegas slaughter of 58 people.
Nov. 5, 2017: The Sutherland Springs, Texas, church shooting that claimed 26 lives.
June 12, 2016: The Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, Fla., that left 49 dead.
Dec. 2, 2015: The San Bernardino, Calif., shooting that killed 14 people.
Dec. 14, 2012: The shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut that took 27 lives.
"In 1994, President Bill Clinton signed an assault-weapons ban, which banned the AR-15 and other similar semiautomatic rifles."
"After its ban, mass shootings were down in the decade that followed, in comparison to the decade before (1984-94) and the one after (2004-14), NPR reported in 2018."
