Aside from that being some of the saddest lunacy I've read online ever, who should decide which Americans have a 'reasonable need' to exercise their 2nd Amendment Right?

Joe. You can spout this propaganda all day long. But I don't think you really understand the issue. I don't think you even want to try and discuss it and find out. Saying "guns are the issue" is like blaming the car in a DUI and it is that simple.

This shooting never would have happened if this kid wouldn't have gotten to the point in his life that he wanted to commit murder. What put that idea in his head?

Joy to the world you can blame a tool, and so can those people who don't like the NRA giving money to conservative candidates. But let's just for a second join your hypothetical "gun free" utopia. You still aren't looking at the issue.

In your utopia that kid still has severe emotional issues. He can still get a knife. He can still contemplate suicide and murder. He isn't STOPPED. He is still a danger to himself and others. And in your utopia nothing is done about that. Why? Because if the kid goes on a stabbing spree you will blame the knives. And then the forks. And then the this. And then that.

All because it is a better soundbites than your favorite sociopathic politician going up on national TV and saying, "well guys...sorry, but we haven't been handling this the right way. We have been wrong. All these years we have been treating the symptoms and not the actual disease."

This isn't a gun issue. It is a human and societal issue. Those who seek to blame guns are just partisan hacks or people naive enough to believe the partisan hacks that the issue rests on a freakin tool. The only tools here are the ones being manipulated to score votes.

Maybe if we took a look at how our kids facebooks are used we might see something that gives us an idea. Or how our kids aren't learning coping mechanisms for real life conflict? I don't see your side proposing any alternate solution to the problem. Just perpetuating the woe is me victim mentality that causes these kids to breach that wall of sanity where they think murder/suicide is their only way out.

For shame.

Its no different than it was 25 years ago. Kids get hung up on things they cant let go. Parent or parents did not instill a sense of self worth so they go off the deep end fueled by movies, social media and video games.

I do not think that a single issue is the cause but instead a multitude of things.

I feel that we are often to easy on our children today. In past generations life was a lot harder for children from a very early age. They often saw death firsthand due to war and/or illness, they worked with their parents once they were old enough to walk, hunger was not uncommon, ect. Now children largely spend their time in safe clean environments without needing to work long hard jobs or starve. Their little minds seems to be occupied by how best to entertain themselves instead of how best to survive. As a result I feel many are mentally unprepared when something doesn't go according to how they wish it. When something in their life gets difficult they do not know how to cope and will lash out with a over reaction to solve the problem.

People simple answers. It helps them feel like it can be fixed and won't happen to them. That said, I do believe a lot of problems may be related to the relative ease of life. But that's certainly not the single cause.

The sole purpose of guns is killing. Everyone who owns a gun voluntarily (without a reasonable need) wants to kill someone with it, even if it's in self-defense. Gun possession always is a sign of a dangerous individual.

When the time calls for it, I want the means to kill any threat to my home, family or person. So what?

I understand that Americans are freaking out about the three cases of Ebola in the U.S. this year, but I wish there were the same level of alarm about the thirty-nine school shootings.

Only the weak and ignorant freak out about anything.

Re: School shooting in Maryville, Washington

Than you are clearly in the dark on a subject you think you know something about.
I've actually got a thread up about the Texas CCW law--it's still not enough for some righties--go figure .

None that I have ever heard of.

I am unaware of any school that would allow a parent with a CCW to enter.

Since you changed the wording to parent vs. employee--though some employees are parents .

Probably because knee jerks posts like the following #44 prove me right as rain



You see Stonewall - I make a smartass comment - an intentional in your face smartass comment - about everybody having an uzi and I did so because I am so sick of the normal "gun free zone" diarrhea that you inevitably see in these threads that I thought I would make a pre-emptive strike. But even with that there are those on the right who cannot contain themselves.

So I was proved correct.

So save your advice for somebody else.

And that is why you claimed the white elephant was the guns? Please spare me. This issue is about people. And I can tell that there are those who don't care and want to use this incident for political gains instead of trying to discuss how woefully behind we are in helping kids learn how to freaking cope with life without freaking out.

All Public k-12 schools in Washington are gun free unless you are a police officer.
 
Re: School shooting in Maryville, Washington

God, Abortion and the Ten Commandments--all in post four--all of which GOPs and their posters are running from before the election.
And no segue here to guns sir--none at all--
Yer worst nightmare will not be inside a school--it will be released outside--and idiots from both parties continue to fight CCW .

Honest answer? Most people won't like it.


We've spent close to 40 years teaching children....

... that they're super-special snowflakes who are entitled to everything good...

... that they're just highly evolved animals, not immortal souls...

... that there is no God, or if there is there is no judgment by him...

... that it is okay to kill innocent babies in the womb if they are inconvenient...

.... that things like the 10 Commandments are outdated and all morality is relative....


... and then we wonder why stuff like this happens?

you should have those local laws changed by Hone Rule--especially in places like Spokane and the rest of the area--
