    School shootings arent going to stop no matter how many officers/guns are on site and how many locks you put on the school. The average school has far more security than the average grocery store and it still doesnt matter.

    Typically, the shooter is a former student who knows all the entry/exit points and doesnt care about living. Even if he cant gain access, he can just sit in the parking lot and pick people off. Even in this case with 7 officers, still there were 2 killed. That's just not acceptable.

    Its typically a place the shooter attended to or had a bad experience and wants some kind of revenge. It's not a random choice. There is also no better place to get publicity.

    If you dig into the numbers, more mass shootings take place in non-gun free zones than in gun free zones, the real identifier for where they happen is that they are overwhelmingly places where the shooter felt attacked and places where the people are that they felt attacked by. But we'll keep on hearing about gun free zones for years.

    I simply will respond with...sometimes common sense should be the driving force. Christians beg on Jesus to forgive them and according to polls this country finds that teaching as a solid moment. I suggest that most of you are fools to suggest that you will be forgiven for defending something that most certainly is correctable. Of course the American way is to only be enlightened when it hits home....pray to your Jesus it doesn't hit home and I will pray to my God that you are smarter.
    Dispute my opinion but do look in the mirror of who stands behind you because you are not on the v right side of life.

    107,000 people in the US died of a drug overdose in 2021, many of them children, much of those drugs come across a porous border. Where is the outrage?

    It's there. America is not. Too much time spent idolizing idiots while we all ignore our own humanity.

    Contrary to the scaremongering on the right, the second amendment is not going anywhere.

    Problem is. It should. There is nothing left to logic for supporting the end result of it. Many attempts at regulation have failed simply due to money. The politics have taken what is easily considered as a sport and ignored the wider range of destruction. Should be eliminated.

    Not so bad my friend. Just an opinion. Tonight am just feeling disappointment in a continuing degradation of a country that we should all be pushing forward..not backwards.
