In reply to the discussion: God, this is it. Police state. [View all]PoindexterOglethorpe
(25,746 posts)6. I'm reminded of how after the theater shooting in Colorado,
certain movie chains made women open their purses to inspection. Apparently that shooter was a woman who brought in his guns in his purse. Not.
And again, the Parkland shooting was NOT a student who brought in his guns in a back pack.
To (appropriately I think) mix a metaphor, this is locking the barn after the well has been poisoned.
They are idiotically going after the wrong thing.
The problem is guns. Let's take away the guns, as so many other countries have. Let's stop pretending that shootings are normal and a sad consequence of our second amendment. Let's decide the people's LIVES matter vastly more than the fucking guns.

If they really wanted to be safe, they'd install metal detectors on the school buses

Clear backpacks + metal detectors are not what the constitution means by a "well regulated militia"
