Hey commie, one NEED is for teachers to be armed so,that creeps like that kid can’t walk into gun free zones.

The right to own guns is a need, not a mere want commie. Matt needs to check out what our Founding fathers said about the issue and the NEED for civilians to own guns

It is a call to action, to curtail the constitutional rights of the dangerously mentally ill.

Allow teachers to carry concealed. At our private college I had a good relationship a professor who served with the 4th Infantry in Vietnam, probably because we were both vets. I did convince him to leave at home his fully automatic M-16. However, I was very happy for him to carry the Tokarev pistol he took of an NVA he had killed, because was for some reason I was always the first person called if one of the lunatics from the adjacent high crime area came on campus.

When do the people who are disarming average folks and making them sheep among wolves take responsibility when when the sheep get murdered.

There are no consequences for the people trying to disarm us all so that we can be easily slaughtered. Evil people like this nut or if our government turns evil which, history often repeats itself, will eventually happen.

It has happened over and over again. If the Jews in Germany had guns, they may have been able to defend themselves. At least they wouldn't have ended up as sheep headed to slaughter and may have taken a few nazis with them.

Hey Matt, states like ny let murderers go free without bail, refuse to,charge some for things because of their skin color, and set them free because of covid. Don’t you think those are very serious issues? Instead of calling to,disarm civilians, making them even more vulnerable to madmen heel,bent on murdering people, how about putting your clout to work fighting against asinine policies thst set hardened crimi Al’s free? Many of the shooters were previously known to law enforcement, and on watch lists, and obviously the blame lies inmthay fact, not on the millions and millions of responsible gun owners who have never hurt anyone, nor ever will

Americans everywhere to make “sacrifices”

We already are. As Americans we sacrifice some of our "safety" in order to ensure the Freedom for all.

If we close government schools, there won’t be any more government school shootings.

School Shooting Cases in the single digits are an epidemic.
A dozen shot or killed in Chicago every week is just the way it is.
Thousands killed or injured by the Covid Jabs is something we just have to accept.

I don't mean to make light of any of the above, I only wish to point out how unproportional the Left's fake outrage is.

FINALY. After all these decades someone is calling for action.

I hope that deep thinking didn't confuse him during script reading and rehearsals pretending to be something he could otherwise never be.

I would like to know the number of shooters in the past 50 years who have caused this kind of mayhem & heartbreak IN THE USA. 20? 4-? 60? 110? TOTAL ??

They all were wrong-—but HOW MANY were there????

There are OVER 330,000,000 people in the USA—that we know of...Census hasn’t been accurate for about 4 cycles.

IF only 1/3 of those USA citizens have weapons-———Then the percentage of trouble makers has to be VERY SMALL.

PUNISHING THOSE for the acts of a VERY LOW PERCENTAGE of the WHOLE is just plain wrong.

A far higher percentage of people drive drunk-—but there are NO CALLS OF ANGUISH to STOP the use, ownership & manufacture of cars & trucks.

Mandatory equipment will be on new cars soon to try & prevent drunk drivers-—which isn’t right, either. TOO BROAD A BRUSH.

ONLY a drunk driver should have to have such equipment-—I do NOT drink-—and I am FAR FROM the only USA citizen who will have to pay for another fancy piece of equipment that I NEVER had to get in the first place.

We deserve better.

Since the mental hospitals in all states were required to close-—for very thin reasons-—Violence has grown.

People with serious problems are roaming unrestrained on ALL of our streets & then, to make everything MUCH WORSE-—Attorneys General of states & cities are not even keeping such persons in custody-——They are out before papers are done. There is a catch & release program that NEEDS TO END.

This only makes non-troublesome persons very vulnerable.

We NEVER know where an attack by a mentally unbalanced person may be coming from—in your car-—taking a walk—riding a bicycle—mowing your lawn-—buying groceries—enjoying a night out with friends.

The VICTIMS are NOT just the names & faces we see on the TV.

WE ARE ALL VICTIMS-—and millions of legal gun owners in the USA have NEVER caused ANY trouble.

BUT-—A perp kills a man in the Subway on Sunday and we find out that he has 19 or 20 prior charges & NO restrictions on HIS movement. HE has been using a revolving door in & out of the Justice system in NYC.

Rural persons deal with predators against their goats—dogs—cattle—horses chickens—hogs & other livestock. They have a right to protect such livestock the same as a city person has a right to protect their families. Those ranchers/farmers need guns to do such protection. Calling “Animal Control” IS NEVER an option. NO COYOTE I have ever seen waits around for the fuzz.

The MENTAL HOSPITALS MUST be reopened & used in a serious manner.

NO AMERICAN should lose their right to a gun over the actions of persons who do not belong out in public in the first place.

I agree that we have far too many school children dying at the hands of criminals. Here are a couple of relevant facts:

Then Senator Joe Biden sponsored and pushed legislation to create “gun free zones” at schools.

Since then passage of the legislation, school shootings have NOT gone down as promised. In fact, they increased. By an INCREDIBLE 300%. By any measure of law and it’s effects that legislation has been an abysmal failure.

The legislation has created a zone where children are forced into a group of individuals, a gunman can enter without any significant resistance or challenge, indiscriminately kill a lot of innocents before the police can respond.

It is time to repeal the gun free schools law, arm a portion of the teachers and teach them how to defend the children.

Perhaps if the nation wasnt so afraid to call a broken human broken and get them help this wouldnt happen.

Perhaps if these kids didnt spend all day on social media ,living fake lives ,taking unnecessary abuse, this woudnt happen.

Perhaps if when authorities have seen red flags , they acted on them forcefully, this wouldnt happen.

Perhaps keeping criminals locked up when they commit serious crimes ,this wouldnt happen.

On one issue I may be in agreement with the left. We do have a mental health crisis, but many of these crazed loons committing these acts of mass violence had their minds warped by the culture of this nation, which is shaped and controlled by the left.

First off, it isn't an epidemic. Averaging mass shootings over a couple of decades shows that the chance of being killed by a kook in a mass shooting is only a few times higher than being killed by lightning.

It's so statistically insignificant that it is below the reach of public policy.

Magnifying the crimes on TV is great for generating copycats, as I'm fairly certain the hoopla over the Buffalo shooting probably influenced this kook. It's also great for stampeding people into accepting laws that are so intrusive as to be inherently despotic, which is the real aim.

Thanks to the courts, we have to allow the seriously mentally ill and the hopelessly drug addicted to walk among us like zombies. There was even a Federal judge who tried to argue you had a right to defecate in public.

Somehow this is required but clearly enumerated free speech rights, religious rights, and self defense rights are up for grabs.

Get ready for the most despicable 24/7 cockroaches crawling out their rocks calling for removal of guns. And wait for it ..the teachers union is already getting their protest gear on along with all those indoctrinated students etc. This is going to get messy and massive so be prepared to either we bend and they come and take our guns or we stand firm! I’m telling you this is all the left with itching, waiting for, and wanting for a long time and tragically and unfortunately they got it and they’re gonna go all full Loco! Instead of them spending 40 billion to defend Ukraine they should’ve invested that money on security guards on every school here in our soil! Where is the outrage over that?
