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

[Themius]

So Florida lawmakers voted to not even debate about guns and then right after literally wants to declare porn a public health risk?

That would've made a great Onion headline if it wasn't true.

Virtually all of them had “A” ratings from the NRA

Saw this and thought it was a good device for schools to use and have on hand. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/02/20...-shooting.html inexpensive too.

The guy trying to get the door open in the video doesn't even seem to be trying that hard. How would it work if someone is actually using a substantial amount of force?

I thought he was hitting it pretty hard myself. And seeing the device, I do not think you can kick the door open. Esp those doors which are metal to begin with.

Porn killed those children obviously....

Anything to avoid touching those sweet sweet gun profits, or the actual problem, I guess.

Trump is urging to give teachers guns. I honestly can’t believe this is even being considered.

It's a talking point right out of All In the Family where Archie suggests passing out guns to all passengers on a plane as a way to stop hijackings. Funny how what was comedy back in the '70s is our reality now.

Apparently there was an armed sheriff's deputy (?) hired to protect the school and he was just standing outside the school the whole time the shooting took place. He didn't do anything even though he knew there was someone shooting inside the school.

Good guy with a gun saves the day....oh wait.

Wow, he had one job to do.

[Torgent]

Wow, he had one job to do.

Yep, he's trained to stop events like this from happening. That's his entire career. Yet he couldn't bring himself to do it. And Republicans think that a math teacher is going to be better suited for that role.

It's clear that you're posting from a quite deranged point of view. The truth is, your position is so untennable that you have to pay big money to keep it alive at all. While nobody in the civilised western world has to pay for freedom. See, that is an actual basic human right. Not guns. Freedom. And these kids have their freedoms be fucked in the butthole by politicians that get paid to put them in danger.

It's paradoxically comic that you argue a gun = safety. While no gun = attack. You have it backwards. It's so glaringly obvious just how much backwards you got it that it's painful to even type it out without thinking I'm talking to an utter imbecile that tries to argue black is white and white is black.

So, there are enough people, even gun fanatics, that see the need to change and they are openly discussing (more or less, depending on taste) sensible rules to prevent these things from happening.

And you come into this thread demanding that your weekly shooting entertainment gets endorsed by the NRA. That's pretty sad. I'm not American, but if I was, I'd exercise my free speech and give you a heartfelt "Fuck you!"

As it stands, I'll just sit here watching with amazement how evolution takes place.

The only person posting from a deranged point of view here is you and I've had to cross out parts of your quote where you've either had a psychotic break or are straw manning again. I can't tell considering your past bigotry.

If there weren't sponsored attempts to unjustly infringe on americans rights then people wouldn't have to defend against them. The problem is even worse now that they are stooping to using kids as pawns to do their bidding as we've seen with this sham protest.

Ahahahaha, the Onion is right on the mark once again.

It's almost like it's a scary prospect to run into a building where at least one person is letting rip with an assault rifle, when you only have a handgun and have probably never shot anyone /shock

That's right. The religion of massacre and bloodshed does not tolerate pesky kids dying to infringe on their right to own a toy. Because fuck those kids. Your right is more important. Because your parents, grandparents and how many generations you can go back, they bled and sweated for the USA so a spoiled little brat like you can come along and suddenly decide that egoism is what the American dream is about, isn't that right tough guy? :P

Scary or not, that's the very job he signed up to do.

That's exactly what the media likes.

I fixed your quote so it highlights exactly the problem with the reaction to this event.

[Elba]

Just like persecuting Protestants stopped Protestants from being a thing.

Wait....



Human rights, and if you don't think that is applicable here then you'd best give up any pretenses of being left-wing.

I hereby formally revoke your Lefty Card as a member of the International Conspiracy of Homosexuals and Jewish Bankers.

This is mighty ironic given that you talk like a let's do nothing centrist/liberal.
