School shooting this morning . . .

I fully expect to be seeing more of this type of thing in the future. We are living in relatively stressful times these days, and people aren't being taught how to effectively manage stress, or adapt to changes in their lives as well as was once the case.

Holy crap I did not expect to see that kind of level headed response in this thread. Thanks Lizzie.:peace

I believe they were actually stopped by the IRS. But I bet you'd rather have more guns than more IRS, so you might want to bury that post.

Probably the FBI.

Hear the sounds of children screaming in terror for their lives? Do not be bothered by their screaming, for that is the sound of America's Second Amendment FREEDOM!

Yes, America, the only nation where schools need to hold lockdown drills in case a man carrying a gun is coming to kill them. See, all those other nations that don't have any such need to hold lockdown drills...they're all socialist tyrannies. But here, we're FREE - which is why we have school shootings and lockdown drills!

Yes, from time to time the tree of Second-Amendment freedom must be watered with the blood of innocent children....

Quote one NRA member that says a five year old has a right to own a gun. Just one.

Damn right. I'll be happy trade a few dead kids for my right to play with really fun toys.

Yup, 30K dead a year and we love our expensive cars still. Want to play with our really fun toys, so the deaths are marginalized.

yeah - just an acceptable amount of collateral damage..... nothing to see here ... just speed up and move on. :roll:

Indeed, we accept a lot of collateral damage in the exercise of rights and privileges.

I don't live too far from that area, that particular school and surrounding area are now infested with Hispanic gangs so this may be somewhat different from other school shootings that we have seen lately.

That's racist. Obviously it's the NRA's fault, Conservative's fault, the gun's fault, and don't forget about Bush.

Can't the pro gun crowd show a little respect and at least let the bodies cool before they turn this into a political issue?

Could you please read for the jury the name of this website and speculate as to it's nature?

OP occurred 5 hours ago. The bodies are cool now.

You see this ****, LEO in camo? That needs to stop. Last thing we need is a bunch of big headed Rambos running around acting like stormtroopers. They could just as easily have done this in police uniforms like cops have done for 100 years. I wonder where their armored personnel carrier is, maybe a couple of armed scout helicopters with hellfire-armed drones. :roll: I think LEOs are beginning to think of themselves as soldiers and not officers. Many of the same people want to deny you a handgun or rifle.

Yeah the camo is a little much but the rest is purposeful. as far as APCs.... see Sheriff Joe in Maricopa County Az and Dallas Tx. just acquired a IED resistant APC.

Good day to you, American

Thats stupid at every level. Mr Kalish should be embarrassed. First off...the 5 year old doesnt have the right to own a firearm but if they DID then they or someone else would have to buy it...pay for it. Conversely...the 5 year old DOES have the RIGHT to healthcare. Unfortunately...in the example cited, that poor 5 year old was spawned by worms that apparently cant or wont take care of their children.

Yeah, absolutely! And what's the solution to school shootings? Give people MORE guns, so we can hear the sound of Second Amendment FREEDOM some more!

And those poor, poor people trapped in the socialist tyrannies of Canada and Australia and New Zealand - their children will be forever deprived of that Great American Tradition of lockdown drills for our schools! Their children will never be able to raise their (terrified screaming) voices in unison in their own version of our sound of Second Amendment FREEDOM!

"Doc, my wife says she can't have sex with me, what do I do?"
"Fire two bullets and call me in the morning. But be sure to listen first for the sound of Second Amendment FREEDOM!"

Your statement is also political, playing the sympathy card.

We sure do. And once the dead are buried they are soon forgotten as even less.

Of course, as long as its not us or one of our own. :doh
 
Shootings, beatings, and stabbings are pretty much an every day occurrence at schools across the country. They are usually not reported because they usually involve thugs and gang bangers. Im stunned we havent already had an outpouring of network and cable news stories about the shooter and his family.

yeah, 'cuz that's America! The land of Second Amendment FREEDOM!

"whether 'tis nobler to contain one's anger at others and walk away in frustration, or to take up 2nd Amendment firearms and, by shooting at them and anyone around them, end them!"

Us Texans ( you know the dumb asses down south) have schools that post signs alerting nut cases there are people in the school building that are armed and trained to shoot. Nuff said.

yes because that doesn't sound nutty in itself.

Sure...you can blame it on the guns (as long as you ignore the stabbings and beatings part). Or...you can address...you know...the problems...

Nah...that would mean you might have to actually get in and deal with those that are committing the vast majority of violent acts. Better you just continue to spew mindless rhetoric.

No, we certainly have rules and enforcement to punish those who infringe upon the rights of others. But by very virtue of freedom, there is danger and uncertainty.

Who's blaming it on the guns? I'm just sayin', thanks to the conservative politicians who strive so hard to protect our Second Amendment FREEDOM against background checks or mandatory safety training (both of which most NRA members support, btw), any American - be he a violent felon, a sexual predator, a socio- or psychopath, or a domestic terrorist - can get himself any kinda gun he wants, and lo and behold, once more we hear American children giving us that unforgettable Sound of Second Amendment FREEDOM!

And don't you feel sorry for the Aussies and Canucks and Kiwis, being trapped in socialist tyrannies and all, 'cause their kids never, ever get to have our Great American Tradition of lockdowns at school, and they never ever get to raise their (terrified) voices in their own version of our Sound of Second Amendment FREEDOM!

"But by very virtue of freedom, there is danger and uncertainty."

And EVERY nation that has what conservatives want - a small government, low effective taxes, and little or no regulation - is a third-world nation with LOTS of 'danger and uncertainty'. But I digress.
