Well said and completely logical.

The guns are not “causing” this. Guns are inanimate objects. The root causes are deeper and potentially more difficult to confront.

Easily, however, we can harden our schools today, without controversy.

We hardened air-travel after 9/11. It can be done.

Inconvenient? Sure, but it can be done. IT MUST BE DONE FOR THE SAKE OF OUR KIDS.

people like you make me sick. you belong in a mental institution. the world doesn't have to be this horrible, it really doesn't. most countries are much better than this. why should american compete with saudi arabia, north korea, and russia for being a dystopia?

It is psychotic the extents to which some people will go in order to protect their dozens of guns. You know how much it costs to fortify all those windows? Which, around where I live, is every classroom with three huge picture windows. It starts at $90/sq ft. https://www.silatec-bulletproofglass.com/how-much-does-bulletproof-glass-cost/#prices

And all because insane people think they’re entitled to have weapons of war and are telling us that all of us parents of small kids better just suck it up and accept that it might be our kids’ school next.

You gun people are psychopaths.

Not PP. I have no idea what you are talking about? Could you explain?

For those of you who want to discuss the Nashville shooting, there is an existing thread. But, thanks for hijacking this one. For the others, sorry about the those who couldn't stay on topic.
