Active shooter situation at Florida high school, at least 20 injured so far

[johnhoftb]

Remember folks, last April an ultra-conservative Trump supporting Louisiana state Senator tried to push through a ban on toy guns (including such other like airsoft guns and water guns) in public schools in order to prevent a child from getting killed by an officer, and was even backed by the Louisiana Sherriff's Association, but was killed due to Louisiana Republican infighting due to the state Legislature being the most gun-friendly.

That's how hard it is to get any sort of gun-control when the gun lobby doesn't want you to.

Sweet. I didn't know fire was a play thing.

Sweet, you didn't address the point.

[Dextroden]

Sweet, you didn't address the point.

It's not about it being a weapon. (Saw the thread. Not anywhere close to a flamethrower.)

It's just funny to be blase about fire after a dust storm on guns.

Because you need guns to kill lots of people? and if you don't have AR-15's, criminals are left with crossbows and pocket knives? Interesting..

Yes you do need guns to kill lots of people, that is what they are designed for after all. It's why you don't often hear reports about mass stabbings.

Nobody blamed the lightsaber when Anakin went into the Jedi Pre-School corridor.

Luckily we had a good guy with a lightsaber to eventually stop him. Yet some how he still made it to Jedi Heaven with Yoda.

The arguments just keep getting better and better.

Your silly troll argument doesn't even make any sense. Those padawans WERE armed but they still got slaughtered because untrained kids trying to play hero doesn't tend to end all that well.

So that's why Democrats keep pushing for actual reform while republicans block it at every opportunity. Get the fuck out of here with "They're both the same." Bullshit. Fake indipentent

A) The hell is a "fake indipentent"?

B) Allow me to quote your wonderful lord and savior, Barack Obama: "In this country, we have a strong tradition of gun ownership that's handed from generation to generation. Hunting and shooting are part of our national heritage. And, in fact, my administration has not curtailed the rights of gun owners - it has expanded them, including allowing people to carry their guns in national parks and wildlife refuges."

C) Note the "anger and sadness" from Democrats after every shooting? Their moral outrage? Sadly their outrage doesn't lead to any actual action, even when they controlled both the House and Senate, but now knowing they cannot press through an anti-gun law, they can safely flap their lips about what they'd do if they had office to gain political brownie points at no risk to themselves because people like you seem how shortly ago it was they had the ABILITY to do so and did the COMPLETE OPPOSITE (hey, wonder whose party it was that TWICE approved bump stocks for AR-15s.........oh............)

Also where people have access to guns, they use vehicles and explosives.

People wont stop being sick just because guns are gone.

The highlight of my day is seeing people argue about gun restrictions...only to log back in a couple hours later and seeing the argument shift to lightsaber arguments.

They would be much less dangerous without guns. Meanwhile, I have yet to hear of any mass shooting stopped by heroic good guys with guns.

That's right, the cops, and swat teams bring these people down with crossbows and pocket knives.

Perhaps if protection was in place before the shooting starts, it wouldn't be as much as a problem.

The liberals in this thread are once again going after the guns, but just last week they were all pre-ordering flamethrowers from Elon Musk!

There are plenty of police forces out there who don't use guns and still manage to be more effective than the trigger happy cops we have in the states.

You're kidding right? It's about as dangerous as a pocked lighter.

Problem is, if the gov in the US takes all the guns, we'd still have gun happy cops.

[Gandrake]

Yee , and this is what a dumb ass people get for not doing anything for gun control

I promise you that nothing gets a school shooter's dick harder than giving a fuck that he shot up a school.

you can blame guns, but i'd blame sensationalist media for glorifying acts of violence. by treating this like it was a big deal, it encourages the activity to continue. If you want to stop it, you must get inside the head of these people and take away what draws them to do it.

Stop saying they shot up schools, flat out lie and say they were raping children and animals. they don't want to be remembered for raping children and animals, they want to be remembered for bringing a nation to it's knees with their anger and hatred.

Yet, in countries where weapons are not as available mass killings like in the US is not at all as common. Gun are made for killing people and they do that job much more efficiently than a car.

Are you saying you use your guns to defend yourself against the police?

Most countries are not hated as much as the US, and most countries also are a lot different than the US.

If a cop needs a gun to control people that have no guns, I want a gun.

I'm just gonna go out on a limb here and assume that you probably don't belong to a demographic that has to worry about police brutality. Also, do you think you'd EVER get away with shooting a cop, even if it was legitimately in self-defense?
