You can never have enough guns to fight the military that you can't give enough money to so they can buy bigger guns.

No, but against 3 armed bad guys, I'm going to want more than a pistol or pump shotgun.

Have you ever seen a TV show called "the news"? I have a few close cop friends, and they all carry off duty. Not because they are afraid, but because they have seen firsthand how vicious people can be and how frequently it happens.

But keep living in your safe zone bubble. Let me guess, you are 22 and live in North Cali?

You were super close, I'm 48 and live in Washington state.
Right, so you've let the "news" manipulate your fears and now you believe that you are in constant danger even though statistically, the US has never been safer. Cops have the same bias. Everyone they meet in their jobs are either criminals or victims. When you live like that it doesn't take long to believe that everyone in the US is either a criminal or a victim because that is their experience. Doesn't mean its true. If you're gonna spend your days wandering through crack dens then by all means be afraid. If you just going to costco, and your afraid, you are a puss.

And the downside of me carrying a pistol is....what exactly? I have it for the same reason I have car insurance and fire extinguishers, and I have never needed either.

Not sure last time you were in Atlanta but it might be a bit different than Washington.

"Teacher accidentally fires gun in classroom, students injured" Surprising no-one with two brain cells to rub together.

That guy should be fired and charged for being an idiot. It said it went off into the ceiling meaning A) he had the gun chambered in class, and B) he had the gun out for some reason. Neither of which should EVER happen.

But of course it happened and will happen again. Arming teachers is a dumb idea that exists only to sell more guns.

I don't know if you saw a previous post of mine, but there are already a lot of districts that allow teachers to carry and have been for some time. Just because 1 idiot fired a gun into a ceiling doesn't invalidate the idea. He obviously was not following any sort of protocol.

This is the 2nd teacher to fire his gun in school since the stupid idea of arming the teachers came up a month ago.

I promise you that more people will die.

No laws have changed since they started the discussions, so nothing has changed.

And no one died, so when you say "more" will die that doesn't really make sense.

Just because we started discussing it a month ago, doesn't negate the fact there there are quite a few districts that have had armed teachers for a long time with no incidents(including mass shootings taking place there).

and no one died. I do believe that both of those instances had noting to do with the armed teacher debate. Those two morons were not supposed to have guns there in the first place.

The second one last week was actually a reserve police officer, was teaching a gun safety class! True story. Being the ceiling, he was probably teaching them how to make sure a weapon is empty by dropping the mag and pulling the trigger.

Dumbass.

Absolutely, There have already been two teachers discharging their guns on school grounds since we starting talking about arming them. What makes you think their won't be more?
There will be another major school shooting within 6 months, I guaranty it.

The statistics are really very clear. The more guns the more gun deaths.

There were a ton of "good guys with guns" in Las Vegas and they ran away just like the guys that didn't have guns. It didn't change jack.
Meanwhile your all so afraid that someone is coming to take away your toys that you wont let us keep the guns away from crazy people. The NRA is suing Florida because they passed a law that says you have to be 21 to buy a gun. How F'd is that? on the one month anniversary of the Florida school shooting the NRA tweeted a glamor shot of the gun used to kill the 17 kids.

But hey, the regular slaughter of school kids is a small price to pay so that you can have easy access to the tools required for hog hunting. Nice priorities.

Right a reserve police officer, who has had WAY more training than the teachers will have still managed to cock this up. People F up. That's reality, so lets not let them F up with guns, the cost of failure is too high.

Exactly. It's a irrefutable truth.

Actually what's F**ked is that they passed that law. It's an irrefutable truth that once the SC rules owning a gun is an individual right, you cannot deny an adult that right just because they are between 18 and 21. Unfortunately what's also f**ked is that the SC interpreted that by throwing out half the text of the 2nd as meaningless. So the answer is as always... vote in elected officials that will change the make up of the SC. Conservatives are doing that to eliminate abortion as a right. And that's what people who want to deal with guns need to do.

statistics can be made to say anything.

Then please explain, how does our military exist without them shooting each other by mistake? so many guns everywhere, surely that's a dangerous environment!

Are cops shooting each other on a daily basis? you know, they carry those death machines around every day!

No laws have changed, so not sure what you are trying to correlate this with? Just talking about guns makes them go off now? That's a new one on me.

Are they going to change the age to join the military to 21, or will they just be enlisted for 3 years until they can use a weapon?

"ITS FOR THE CHILDREN!!" What are you doing about abortions or texting while driving? Way more kids die from those. If you like statistics then focus on the biggest impact causes first.

Again you’re completely wrong as usual ........


The concert venue was......get ready. “ A GUN FREE ZONE ” there was actually talk of a lawsuit being filed by several Police Departments in and around Vegas because even off duty officers attending and working the venue were not allowed to carry their weapons . Really should get the facts straight before you go spewing your anti-gun agenda.

We get it. You’re deathly afraid of firearms and you feel everyone should have your view . I could litter this post with links of everyday citizens who carry and are alive because of their right to carry . Your narrow focus on shooting incidents that make up less than 1% of actual violent crime is ridiculous . People know the risk of owning a gun , my ownership and the ownership of other like minded people who own firearms has very little effect on you . You’ve mentioned the stat regarding guns in the home killing kids. Well guess what , again doesn’t effect you and it’s not up to you to decide and limit what a person chooses to do in their own home. People know the risks , they make the choice and have live with their consequences. The simple fact is gun ownership and conceal carry has a positive impact on reducing the percentage you may get shot by some thug with a gun......evidence to the fact is quite plentiful.......if you’d open your eyes out of the minuscule focus point of an area responsible for so little of the stats you want to keep spewing to the big picture you may actually educate yourself and not continue to look like a narrow minded goof.

Suspiciously absent from your talking points are the most recent crazy’s that went on a stabbing spree and one currently on a bombing spree by leaving packages . More proof crazy is crazy . The other blame suspiciously absent here is the blame that lies with the FBI , the liberal policies implemented in the school preventing police from action against criminal students, the liberal policies instituted by the sheriffs office . A lot more blame lies with those agencies and groups that should have prevented this most recent Florida shooting and several
Mass shootings before that. In the grand scheme of things that blame is much heavier than that on the firearm itself. Yet we hear nothing from you and the anti gunners on those aspects .......... it’s all just , ban all guns and blame trump.

if you own a gun store(try to focus, yes people actually have a retail location where you buy guns), SURELY you're more likely to die than everyone else. I mean, you're around guns EVERY DAY. Who knows, people might actually have their carry weapon WITH THEM at work. So you're around a bunch of guns, around a bunch of people with guns. So how is a gun store NOT the most dangerous place in the world???

This is the list of legal guns in what i would assume is not a very "gun friendly" state. Just handguns, list looks like there are 100's of them on the list. How many guns do you think you need?

I wasn't there, I can't comment on that.

It is quite obvious however, that they wanted to protect our right to bear arms. It's the first thing they did after protecting our right to free speech and a few other things.

Yeah, i was being facetious.

It's clear about being able to bear arms. What's less clear is the definition of "arms", everyone agrees there are limitations about what citizens can bear, what's being argued is where the line is. Nerve gas not ok, assult rifle ok, etc.

It is quite obvious however, that they wanted to protect our right to bear arms. It's the first thing they did after protecting our right to free speech and a few other things.
Because they recognized this was a country that would evolve over the years. If the Constitution wasn't meant to be revisited, then women would still be unable to vote and African Americans would still be counted as 3/5 citizens when concerning Congressional representation.

Who cares what I refer to them as, Ralph? You don't even live here, all you got is a place to openly whine & bitch about your disdain for our country & a president that has zero bearing on your life. Rather comical to know he upsets snowflakes in Aus as well.

Another school shooting this morning, only he was shot by the resource office before he could do more damage. Get used to armed schools, not gun control. I look forward to the pages & pages of you guys crying about it non stop.

It won't make national news and you definitely won't hear about it here. Good guy with a gun, protecting kids. Seems like armed guards at schools (until the "gun free zone" BS is changed) is already working.

Looking forward to seeing how creative you gun control nuts really are. Who's up first to spin this one?

LOL @ it not making national news. It's on the front page of every news website that there is. I guess you can call this a "win" since only 2 kids were hurt, but not killed.

If you're a troubled teen thinking of shooting your classmates, the message is loud and clear.

That's comical. You people dismiss that there are more deaths from other attacks but want to fall back on righties being glad it was only 2? You're right, we are glad it was only two since others didn't get hurt. You sickos are giddy with glee when it's more & you can politicize it by using those kids as pawns.

I'm not following you? It's illegal to take a gun to school, they're gun free zones. It is clearly the gun that broke the rules as that kid can read the signs....

I’m all for stricter gun laws let’s start with this one.
If you use a gun in the commission of a crime (any crime) I say you get mandatory life in prison” here in SF if you are in possession of a stolen Gun your (not using it in a crime) just caught with it you are ticked and let go. F ing “ ridiculous “

It's barely making the news. I've been working from home all morning with Channel 2 running in the back ground. Not one mention. If it was a massacre that fit the gun ban agenda it would be running non-stop like the last incident. This story supports arming people at schools, and most people don't want to support that idea.

I sure hope my daughters school district is considering arming someone on the campus.

Its not even on the main section of MSN.com now. That is really disturbing if its only because it doesn't fit their narrative.

What was on the front page was some hooker suing Trump to break a confidentiality agreement. If its on the front page of news sites, hasn't she already broke the agreement??????

Props to the school deputy that was able to quickly take care of the purp before more were hurt. As far as shootings go this one is about as good an outcome as possible.

Definitely fizzled out quickly as far as a news story goes. I'm not so sure that it's because it doesn't fit the narrative of evil left leaning news outlets or the fact that school shootings are such commonplace that it's not really a story if there are no casualties. Pretty sad either way. I don't have guns or kids so I don't really give too many meh's.

It's almost insignificant when compared to Parkland, Sandy Hook, etc. Journalism code of conduct: "if it bleeds, it leads". I guess it doesn't quite bleed enough.

Definitely doesn't fit the agenda narrative. And you definitely won't hear anyone saying Trump did something right or had a good idea about keeping kids safe.

Forget about the shooting, an AR wasn't used. What it is very important right now is that Stormy passed a polygraph in which she says: Trump & her & unprotected vaginal sex. And the biggest shocker, she was promised a role on The Apprentice. In other news a whore doing what opportunistic whores do, then wanted to sell the story but was outbid by Trumps lawyers & when he ran for president the other networks suddenly found her story to be worth much more than they originally offered you, but now that they are paying her & her legal fees it's front page again. Shocker, billionaire playboy promises porn star role and she drops to her knees now upset she didn't get the part. #metoo....

afternoon of Parkland shooting, he said he was against schools being gun free zones and thought armed guards was the best, quickest defense. every district had a decision to make. I'm glad Greater Mills was proactive.

Parkland had an "armed guard". He never went in to confront the shooter. But way to try to spin the narrative.

Honest question, why do you give a $h!t if a woman has an abortion? Outlaw abortion and number of people on welfare increases. Seems like a conundrum for conservatives.

People who feel the need to tell others how to live their lives. If it's domestic you can make laws. If it's foreign you can make war.

He was a sheriff's deputy. SRO's are typically law enforcement officers from local sheriff/police departments. He had years of law enforcement experience.

Keep spinning.

Why do liberals want so many kids dead just to get a a law in place? How much more blood must be spilled to appease the loony left?

Jeremey, as a coward, identifies with the Florida coward who stood by while kids died, exactly what Jeremy would have done, he loves dead kids if it score political points. The cowards on the left can’t fathom that there are real men that would run in because they myopically believe everyone is as scared and dishonest as they themselves are. Psych 101 **** here, easy to see through.

He was a pussy and not doing his job, happens to cops sometimes. His superiors agreed he didn't do his job and suspended him without pay. He has to live with his cowardness, and a lot of families paid the price. That doesn't mean it's not a good idea.

Dude, I'm not the guy that needs to carry a gun everywhere I go to feel safe. I don't identify with anyone.

Typical liberals response. "Because I don't carry", "because I don't identify" means you're right every ones wrong & if they don't agree they're somehow beneath you.

True story, just a few weeks ago, friend of a friend who is against guns, can't understand why his GF who's from the midwest would be a CCW holder & was just beside himself that girl has a bigger set of balls, because he wasn't raised around fire arms. Well downtown Denver has never been a dangerous place till the last couple years when crime & violence has shot through the roof. Homey got jumped by two black guys outside a theater & chick had to pull the weapon while by standers finally felt safe to jump in & hold them till the cops came. Guess who's now got a .45 & taking his CCW classes.

Just because you think you're tough & could fight off something like that, doesn't mean anyone else has to give up their right or throw fist a cuffs with someone. Me, I am told to throw blows & will simply shoot someones ass if they try to jump me, that is my right. Your right is to disagree till you finally get your head beat in and change your mind. Not to dictate to everyone else what they're right is because you don't "feel" the need for a weapon.

I feel I need to clarify for all those who think they don't feel the need to carry. I don't feel the need, I hope to never have to pull it, I would only pull it if the fist a cuffs start, never to scare someone away. The entire point of carrying is hoping to never have to use it. The more common carrying becomes, the more common people thinking twice before messing with someone will come into play. You can think you're tough all you want. You ain't **** against a group of people & you aint **** with someone with a knife, gun, rocks, etc. In fact if you've ever taken any sort of training being hand to hand or firearms, you'd know they teach you a guy with a knife with-in 25' will get to you before you have a chance to pull the trigger, they have the advantage.
