Asking for a friend

3. effective marketing by the NRA

they use the emotional "Freedom" meme but I must suggest that we are in reality losing our freedom's because of lax gun laws...

and... if DT wants to continue the good guy with a gun meme and wants to arm the teachers, I would suggest that he carry a gun to protect himself and the White House, give the Secret Service time off, and see where that gets him

5. And Trump said yesterday, "Arm the teachers...it will solve YOUR problems"

"Your" problem !?!?!?!?

Hey, then at least angry boys or men won't have to figure out how to sneak a gun into a school...guns sill ALREADY BE THERE!

Trump -and all NRA money grubbing Republicans- are insane, evil, killer enablers.

7. I wonder if some company will find a cheaper way to

install metal Detectors in schools, that look like the kind at the airport, and if this will be their answer to gun violence. When I went to high school there was none of these kind of events. Our school was very multi-cultural and diverse ethnically and I don't ever recall hearing of problems with kids bringing guns to school. But it seems that is what is happening now and far too often.
The problem is that Republicans stand in the way of any kind of legislation regarding gun control.

I was living in Santa Barbara during the same time as that shooter, who went to UCSB and shot up a bunch of people in Goleta, at the University. Horrible time there.

11. Same with me except when I was a kid students did bring guns to school

Usually they left them in their truck. I'm old.

Yet there was never a time when someone came to campus and started shooting random people.


So what's wrong today that wasn't wrong 50 years ago?

There were more guns back then. After WWII many families kept semi-auto M1's in the house. No regulations. Less healthcare, much less mental health services.

So what's different today that's causing these people to do what people didn't used to do?

I point the finger to too many young men on behavior altering drugs and no male role models in the house.

8. NRA's Militia isn't

defending America from the Russian invasion and continued attacks? WHY? You can't shoot the internet with an assault rifle or any gun.

So, maybe the militia bullshit the NRA shills keep dishing out is not going to keep America safe after all.

[tclambert]

9. If more guns makes you safer, then America must be the safest nation on Earth.

'Cause we have the most guns, by a factor of five.

[Skittles]

10. lots of gun humping cowards in the "home of the brave"

[Oneironaut]

12. And its just coincidental that the gun industry would be the biggest beneficiary of armed schools.

But really, the NRA is all about hunting.
