If we beat the Raiders in the Superbowl, would there be more players from that era in the HOF?

If they were playing your team would you feel safe up 3-1?

Can we at least narrow down the focus from a legislative POV to the problem of an AR15 being an every day retail item

There are holes in Ewers’ game but to say he’s not very good is just incorrect

There are poor man's Deion Sanders in the HOF. I wouldn't call him that just yet.

This was an idea that was legitimately being pushed at one point, and I still see variations of it from time to time. Kinda depraved when you think about it.

I don’t for a second think it’s realistic, but it’s a solution that has been pushed before and it’s when you break down what it actually entails it’s not just morbid but also infeasible.

Yeah if you can find around 180,000 veterans with a clean background check and a squeaky clean psych eval willing to do the job it’d probably work while still being morbid. That number puts 2 armed guards in every elementary school, middle school and high school in the country, as there are around 90,000 schools in the country. It’s also a very conservative estimate as some high schools (especially in Texas where there are lax gun laws) are huge and would need more than two. It’s interesting, but is it feasible, and if there aren’t enough guards, who decides which schools get them and what factors do they go by?

Not that he shouldn’t have done more, but it takes more physical and psychological training to handle these situations. Some SWAT teams actually receive combat training if I’m not mistaken, and that’s basically what it is.

Did Logan Paul dislocate a finger for real? NVM

It’s not an assumption so much as it is a piper’s tune. Purposely vague scary buzzword to make an empty contextless argument

It’s possible I suppose but it’s a zero sum prop for them as if any law or regulation is abided by 100%. Also the general profile of the kids that carry this stuff out isn’t exactly conducive to obtaining illegal arms.

Quite a few school shootings would be prevented just by raising the legal age to 25. They’d refuse to take measures to help prevent school shootings specifically, let alone gun violence in general.

I watched the bodycam footage from Nashville, and it brought me back to the armed guards and armed teacher solution, as it was a first hand look into the level of competence required to prevent further loss of life and take out an active shooter in a real life situation. When you actually think about what it would entail, it becomes even more ridiculous. According to Google, there are just under 140,000 schools (k-12) in the U.S. For argument's sake we'll remove the K's (even though before Sandy Hook we would have never imagined elementary school shootings would be a thing) which leaves us at about 90,000. That's a minimum of 90,000 individuals that must be trained, physically and psychologically, to be able to take out an active shooter, have a squeaky clean background check and a squeaky clean mental health record. Now, I went to high school in Los Angeles and one armed guard in a high school that size might as well be a puppy carrying a chew toy, and there are thousands of schools that size in the country, so now we're talking about a very conservative 200,000 individuals that fit the above characteristics and would be willing to take the job On to the millions of teachers employed in the U.S. Gun safety training and practice are a complete waste of time in the context of gaining the competence of trained law enforcement personnel tasked with taking out an active shooter, so the idea is to do what, put them all through SWAT training? Better than nothing right?

How did The Criminals not take over the country?! Terrifying stuff

Not everyone, just the psychopaths. Lots of times they exhibit signs on message boards, such as but not limited to irrational fear and general paranoia Yeah but then it wouldn't be funny. Not intended towards you.

Nobody, unless you're a psychopath. I'm on the fence regarding you should be worried or not.

What needs to happen for him to be disqualified from running for president again?

You forgot to add “at least it’s safer here than Mexico” What does that say about the ones that object on ideological grounds

Purely out of curiosity, if you’re so incensed that this country is much safer than it’s being painted out to be, what’s the risk of placing more restrictions on guns? What tangible threat are you scared of? If it’s just your hobby and you’re a law abiding citizen, why are you worried that more restrictions will result in your guns being taken away?

Worse. It’s diversion from the actual issue as a result of selfishness and reprehensible indifference. Because he doesn’t care

Yep. Most of my family is in Israel and I’m still in touch with some friends from middle school and high school. Even with all the insanity going on in a country overflowing with problems, they can’t wrap their head around a society that continues to dance around a problem that allows children to be blown to bits in a classroom.

Yes. Human beings are generally horrified at kids under 10 years being slaughtered in a classroom, and the natural reaction to a society that takes an elementary school shooting in stride will be a smidge on the negative side.

How is your reaction to a third elementary school shooting: “things aren’t as bad as they look”? We deserve every bit of criticism that we get.
