Democrats did call for stricter gun laws after the Las Vegas shooting.That was evidenced after the Las Vegas shooting, in which a friend of mine was shot and seriously injured while trying to save someone else’s life.
Several prominent liberal anti-Trump people made statements to the effect of not being too concerned about it because country concerts are mostly conservative and pro-gun.
We already have armed security guards at:And yet he obtained the guns legally and virtually every mass shooting has been perpetrated by someone using a legally obtained gun. I'm not opposed to fences, scanners and armed guards as an added measure of protection. But it is better to get to the source of the problem, which is the gun. Scanners and armed guards won't help on playgrounds or field trips. Are we going to have scanners and armed guards everywhere? Shopping malls? Grocery stores? Restaurants? Seems more practical to get rid of high capacity weapons.

Why NOT protect our children, and CHANGE Schools and ALL other “Gun Free Zones”?
Allowing either armed guards and or, those who desire to CCW?
And is why…. MANY individuals have (are legally able to have) CCW permits, carry EVERY day of their lives…
Do you want to be this person on the NY subway?!? (Below video from this past week).
NO cops.
NO ONE does ANYTHING ELSE… other than, records the EVIL events.
WATCH THIS VIDEO and tell me this if (in this situation) you FEAR for your LIFE.
Our “justice” system is also part of the problem.
This perp NEEDS to be CHARGED, PROSECUTED, and receive a sentence, which the perp is punished to the FULL extent of our laws.

In fact, whites are the biggest beneficiaries when it comes to government safety-net programs like the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, commonly referred to as welfare.I would add poverty, a lack of purpose, violent role modeling, and a society that is becoming permanently dependent on a corrupt government for everything.
Abortion is birth control. Military and vets are mere fodder for political elites. Prosecutors don't prosecute. Illegals have better access to $$ and support than citizens. Kids were basically locked up for 2.5 years and are killing themselves but fentanyl still floods in through the border. Patients with covid were sent to retirement homes. Welfare rewards single parenthood. Me-first parents think they can have it all.
But yeah...guns.

I work in a school with predominantly African American students. I'll admit I prejudged the fathers because most of the kids do not live in traditional two-parent homes. I was blown away the first time I went to the boys' 5th grade basketball game and saw all the fathers that had shown up. They were excited, cheering and involved. Lesson learned --- don't assume that just because they aren't married that they don't have a role in their kids' lives.The truth: Black fathers are moreinvolved
We can not equate the number of unmarried dads to the number of “fatherless” children. First of all, marriage rates don’t necessarily reflect the number of Black fathers living with their children; as writer Josh Levs points out, the majority of Black dads (2.5 million of around 4.2 million) do live with their kids, even if they’re not married to their partner.
And second of all, according to a 2013 report by the CDC, Black dads—whether they live with their children, or not—are more actively involved in their children’s lives than their counterparts of other races.
Mothers' reports echo fathers'
Lest we believe that these statistics are skewed by the fathers’ own self-reporting, other studies based on maternal reports echo these findings. In a 2008 survey of low-income mothers, researchers found that “nonresident white fathers were less involved with their children than African-American and Latino fathers.” In a 2018 study of “nonmarital” births, mothers reported that Black fathers “shared responsibilities more frequently and displayed more effective coparenting than Hispanic and White fathers.”
What part of metal detectors is so scary? If I’m not mistaken they have scanners at supermarkets, department stores, and all gov buildings. It is even likely that kids are already being screened and don’t even realize it.
A real discussion should discount the drama for real facts. Why do guards need to be armed with lethal weapons?
Cheering at a basketball game falls a bit short of tucking them in at night after helping them with their reading and math homework.I work in a school with predominantly African American students.

I didn’t have to pass through a metal detector when I was 8, nor did you, I am guessing. Why should schools need any guards?
Your thinking is convoluted , IMO.
Can anyone note a single incident when a home protection needed more than 6 or 8 shots other than a drug deal.
There are claims on this site that the GOP does not care about the killings. That is a ridiculous proposition and assertion. Look at this latest mass shootings. There were so many failures in the system it is hard to count. This is not an excuse but a fact. Apparently, the background check was not thorough enough. If it was this guy would have stood out like sore thumb. Every time an incident occurs like this the left goes into a rage and starts to point fingers. That is their MO. They conveniently ignore the daily slaughter with guns in our inner cities which far surpass all of the mass shootings put together.
We do not enforce our own laws. We do not prosecute those who have lied about their background checks. I have a sense that the present background checks are nowhere near the ones for the lowest level of military security clearance background checks. The solution is not to get rid of guns. Criminals as we have seen do not care. This massacre is a rarity in TX. If you look at the other mass shootings they have been mostly in states with the most restrictive gun laws. How does one explain this? We can point fingers and play the blame game but we continue to look the other way with the majority of gun incidents and only pay attention to mass shootings. The key here is higher scrutiny with our law enforcement agencies, reducing ingress to our schools with at having choke points, locking the doors when school is in session, enforcing our existing laws and removing their vagaries, prosecuting criminals more severely, beefing up our mental facilities and access to them. Keep in mind that if a person has the will to kill there is not much that can stop them.
Hey xuscx…Can anyone note a single incident when a home protection needed more than 6 or 8 shots other than a drug deal.
We can spend billions on metal detectors and security guards so how will that protect a shooter at a ayso game.
Why all the analysis. The republican plan has been in place since 2004 with the ending of the assault weapon ban. All measures are worse. Its been an epic failure and every year is worse. Time for the Republicans to step aside and let the democrats fix their mess .
Fair point, but you have to admit it is an improvement over when you coached football in the seventies and it was just moms showing up. ;-)Cheering at a basketball game falls a bit short of tucking them in at night after helping them with their reading and math homework.
And the school had a security system that didn't allow entry until the visitor had been visually confirmed and buzzed in, yet he shot the glass panel next to the lock to gain entry. Guns have a way of getting around locked doors. I'm all for slowing down a killer any way possible. And if security guards and single entries are going to help with that, I'm all for it. But, unless every window and door in every school is replaced with bullet proof material, as you all have noted, a bad guy will find a way. Security guy at the front entrance? OK, so he goes around back and shoots through a window. The type of weapon makes a difference.I don’t know if anyone knows this but Sandy Hook was not that shooters primarily target; the primary target had a security vehicle parked in front which hadn’t been seen there before, so the shooter chose another school.
When I was six:I didn’t have to pass through a metal detector when I was 8, nor did you, I am guessing. Why should schools need any guards?

All over the map I see. Has the repeal is the assault weapon ban made things much worse. Yes it has.Hey xuscx…
try using Google, your answer is a mouse click away, and be surprised the number of incident. (shoot more than 8 rounds)
FYI: Your democrats have had control of the Executive, and BOTH houses of the legislature branches. (between 2009 and 2011) Democrats did control the White House and Congress during those years. NEWS FLASH: Your politicians DO NOT FIX ANYTHING, (republican or democrat) or they‘d ALL be out of a job.
Government and politicians are great at creating a problem, then telling us “if only, we had more money and more time to fix your problems.” joe biden, mitch mcconnell, maxine waters are lifer’s of “public service” ALL have become worth over 100 MILLION millionaires from ”public service” They ALL ARE IN IT, FOR THE MONEY AND POWER.
Government can barely run a strong military. IT TOOK 20 YEARS OF WAR, TO BEAT UP A COUNTRY, OF GOAT HERDERS, and 13 Marines died last year, because OUR government couldn’t implement a planned withdrawal.
The US Post Office, IRS, Dept of Education, and GSA, (are just a short list of a much longer list) ALL examples of government FAILURE.
Convince me I’m wrong.
Another question you won't answer ............Can anyone note a single incident when a home protection
At the time it was standard practice for the king to control the military and the people had no say. The second amendment was added to avoid that situation so we do not have the Putin type regime. I really do not see where it applies now, we are not close to that style of government.Another question you won't answer ............
Why do YOU think the founding fathers created the 2nd amendment ?

Then why the cry for a few MORE gun laws?
Criminals aren’t dissuaded due to gun laws.

That includes our current renegade gub'ment. Brandon already threatened to use the full military arsenal against American citizens. Not a peep from fake news media. President Trump never said anything close to that. Trump's poignant and presidential response to the Uvalde massacre was far superior to brandon's lame words littered with empty thoughts and a politicization of the murdered Uvalde children and teachers.Reminds me of the old common-sense, by-definition, rock-hard truth:
"If guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns."
My son’s old elementary school, which I still live near, has had a single, heavy gauge security gate for more than 20 years. There is the single entrance gate to the school grounds with an electronic control, which can be opened from inside the office by school personnel. They don’t let anyone onto school grounds without approved school business.The school my son goes to has a single point of entry (four heavy glass doors - heavy enough to slow down a shooter), and all access is locked during school hours. There’s a separate entrance next to the main entrance where deliveries and guests can gain access during the day that is controlled by office personnel.
Do you have any idea how much "authority" has been stripped from teachers? There is literal violence and absence of decent behavior IN many classrooms today....teachers get no support in that regard. Is that the way it was when you were 8? Times have changed.I didn’t have to pass through a metal detector when I was 8, nor did you, I am guessing. Why should schools need any guards?

Is this really your understanding of the purpose of the 2nd A? Lol. That is not the reason it was "added". Hint....it IS the 2nd....that should tell you something about it's importance. Another hint....it was about having a militia so that the government wouldn't have or need a professional army.At the time it was standard practice for the king to control the military and the people had no say. The second amendment was added to avoid that situation so we do not have the Putin type regime. I really do not see where it applies now, we are not close to that style of government.
Still waiting for the home intruders that needed 25 shots to be scared away
Honestly, not sure what that poster's post had to do with the comment I made and which he quoted. I didn't mention race and didn't imply racial issues or disparity. It was a collection of societal ills that fall on us ALL when dealing with the consequences.Per Barack Obama-
“In 1960, 22 percent of black children lived with single parents. In 1968, the number rose to 31.4 percent. By 2006, the 1960 percentage had more than doubled to 56 percent.
The absence of fathers is important, Obama continued, because "children who grow up without a father are five times more likely to live in poverty and commit crime; nine times more likely to drop out of schools and 20 times more likely to end up in prison."
So while many involve themselves in their son’s lives, which is a very good thing, it is just not the same as having a father in the home.
if it was a fundamental right it would be with the first amendments. So why in gods name is the subject of the sentence militia. Why does it not say anything about self protection. This court goes by exact words and the exact word is militia.Do you have any idea how much "authority" has been stripped from teachers?

You make some good points. That bogus position that increased security at schools will turn them into prisons is pure bovine feces. Movie, TV and most recording studios have intense security systems. Most office buildings do as well and have had strong security systems for decades. The safety of children should not be handled in a less efficient manner than the safety of celebrities and other adults in the workplace. It would be nice if we could all return to the idealic schools and airports of the Leave It To Beaver era where less security was in place but those days have passed. Btw back then semiautomatic weapons were available for public purchase and it was far easier to purchase guns in general. In fact until the late 1960's guns could be purchased via mail order. Mass shootings were practically unheard of during that time.My son’s old elementary school, which I still live near, has had a single, heavy gauge security gate for more than 20 years. There is the single entrance gate to the school grounds with an electronic control, which can be opened from inside the office by school personnel. They don’t let anyone onto school grounds without approved school business.
My old elementary school, which is in the same district, has the same security. These are public schools.
It’s a pretty big exaggeration when people say that we want to turn our schools into “maximum security prisons”. These are basic and prudent protections for the children that do not restrict their freedoms, nor those of the parents. And more can be put in place and still be reasonable.
