AsburySkinsFan Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Probably not gonna get many for Chris, he was older, he was the AD, not a coach and at 49 past middle age. Maybe we can get a handgun or two for him. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Gonna be a sea change on gun control when generation Z starts voting. Pro Gun people better get smart and start compromising to avoid the electoral butt****ing that will be in store for them unless they do. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsburySkinsFan Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 (edited) I wonder if Luke would be alive today if Trump hadn’t signed the legislation that allowed the mentally ill to buy guns like the AR. Too bad this young man won’t get a chance to solve the gun violence for his generation. Edited February 17, 2018 by AsburySkinsFan 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stalin killed anywhere between 3 to 50 million depending on the historian. Soviet population at the time was 150 million, give or take. So he could have killed as much as 25% of the population. A tyrant with a willing military could pretty much wipe out every single private citizen in US if they wanted to (not like US didn't nearly do it to Native Americans before). You really think John Q. Public is gonna continue to stand there with a AR15 slung over his shoulder after a few strafing run from the US military? How about a few drop of the A-Bomb? Only way a militia doesn't get stomped into the ground is if the tyrant or the military decides not to do it.

Hell, the GOP didn’t have to do ANYTHING. The law was ALREADY on the books, Grassley and the GOP passed legislation that Trump signed that would have prevented Cruz from buying his AR. They literally wouldn’t have had to lift a finger...but they did...and now 17 are dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assume you mean that Grassley and Trump repealed legislation that would have prevented it. But is there any support that shows that to be the case? Seems to me that if it was that clear, we would have heard about it, by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elessar78 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Yes arming a bunch of teachers is a brilliant idea. Because the people drawn to the teaching profession are exactly, in general, the ones who want to play Jason Bourne. But again, I’ll play along. Go ahead approve it and get the budget for it.

I'm pretty sure that we know what legislation was in place, before this bill passed. Is anybody willing to point at paragraph so-and-so, and then point to some characteristic which the shooter met, and say "this law would have applied to this shooter"? Seems like it would be an easy thing to do. (And incredibly effective, politically.) The reporter who could connect those things would get a lot of credit, for that.

No no, you’ve got it all wrong. We want them to buy their own guns, carry at work for the same pay and not **** every 2 years when republicans refuse their cost of living pay raise again. See, we will have armed teachers AT A DISCOUNT! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To think about all the money we could have saved on military and law enforcement training when you can get the same results in a concealed carry class, and can we stop calling units that deal with situations like an active school shooters "elite". Can't be elite if anyone can do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you take 50 in shape males between the age of 21-28 how many out of that 50 would you say have what it takes from a mental and emotional stand point to handle taking out an active shooter in a school? I'd say 5 at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just so we are clear here, ya'll forbid him a weapon to defend himself and others....because he might kill kids or some **** on accident.. and yet he persisted in trying to protect others till the end..

You're still not getting a big percentage there's a reason law enforcement units that deal with these kind of things go through intensive psychological training that not all of even make it through. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would he have had to risk his body at all (even with a gun) to protect children if the shooter didn’t have easy access to an assault rifle? i think its clear what is the actual safer course 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
