    Probably a drag queen. They are very dangerous.

    Jesus, what a vile POS. Spreading lies with a gun in his hand, like that makes him some kind of tough guy. Pathetic.

    You're certainly not necessarily wrong, and there's certainly no easy answer.....

    Background checks would be more helpful keeping firearms away from criminals.

    Common sense laws like mandatory training might prevent (young or naive) people from being strawman purchasers. (a la Columbine) Or motivate Dad to lock the gun cabinet.

    21-year age requirement for some weapons (AR-15s, etc.) may help.

    It's a long game.

    So mental health, and mental health care, is simply that much worse in the United States than it is in, say, England, Italy, Japan and Korea?

    It's just about the mental health issues, and has nothing to do with the proliferate guns?

    "We are killing ourselves with weapons." Frank Figliuzzi

    And, while doing little about America's public health crisis, killing our humanity as well.

    From what i’m seeing reported, there was an armed officer on campus who immediately sought out the shooter who immediately surrendered while the school immediately went into lockdown. Everyone did everything correctly yet there were 4 families who will never be the same and others with grievous injuries - so an armed presence and lockdowns aren’t the solution.

    Not asking for censorship, just basic human decency and a smattering of empathy.

    So have at it dude, even though you know Biden, Trump, etc. - none of them - can solve this problem alone. Get your useless political points in.

    Where does this settle within your “don’t attack the Bill of Rights” position?

    “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”​
