That would be the best start.

Kids used to bring their guns to school all the time. Like for hunting afterwards or even for target shooting.

The problem isn’t the guns, it crazies.

They are going to ban guns
We let them shut down the world for 18 months with no push back.

The cops will follow orders when the time comes.

A great idea! Let the CDC declare firearms illegal just like they declared that going to work was illegal during the Wuhan Flu Scam.

Excuse me, but who runs public education today? Oh that’s right, democrats. The teachers union is totally and completely democrat last time I checked.

So why do these DEMOCRATS refuse to institute basic 101 security measures 22 years after Columbine? Why is it almost every public place today has security all except public schools?

I went to my local DMV a few months ago and it had only ONE entrance with a guard who made me step through a metal detector. Just for the FREAKIN’ DMV!!!!! What’s someone going to do, steal a drivers license?

You know what this smells like to me? Security measures are not put in place because democrats do not WANT security measures. Why? Because it would prevent mass shootings which THEY WANT because then they can exploit them for political points.

Call me crazy, but what is the first thing democrats did the day this shooting happened? They exploited it.

This is a party right now that is hellbent about murdering babies, they are souless bastards who do not care about kids in school.

This has been a key communist goal for 30-years...

The flexibility to throw out the Constitution under the threat of a pandemic is an open invitation to tyranny...

I know.... I know...
It will never happen here...

But...wait...
It does have a familiar ring to it...

"The teachers union is totally and completely democrat last time I checked."

The surest way to lose a war is to not be able to identify the enemy...
That is precisely why this war was lost to the Aamerican communists over the past 70 years...

Keep on jousting at those windmills...

We should treat being a registered Democrat as a dangerous mental illness.

I hope that people understand exactly what treating gun violence as a public health problem means.

It means that the medical profession wants to control the ownership, use and misuse of firearms. It means that “medical professionals” will use subjective judgment as to who should and should not be allowed firearms and what should be done to those people.

If the principal causes of firearm violence were mental health related, this would make a degree of sense, IF SEVERELY LIMITED. Let me be explicit, suicide is often considered a mental health issue. Many mass murderers are considered to be medically incompetent to stand trial, some murders are committed by people who are addicts or mentally ill.

If medical professionals limited their subjective judgment to just those that are likely to be considering criminal behavior, then that might not be too bad. We have red flag laws, we have involuntary commitment laws.

However, when gun control advocates talk about treating gun violence as a public health problem they are talking about restricting access to traditional firearms or requiring mental health evaluations, etc. for people who are law abiding and for whom there is little expectation they would use a firearm for an illegal purpose.

Sounds fine to me as long as people understand guns have the volition of cabbages and focus would be on combating or controlling human behavior. Possibly even a Democrat voting record would be considered a disqualifier?
