| And if this was an elementary school, would you argue that it's a damn shame that all the teachers don't come with weapons and wouldn't it be convenient for them to just buy one on the way to work? Come on. just stop. |
Shut the fu*k up with your craziness. Weren't you ever a scout who learned to "be prepared"? I guess not. |
sigh. the internet. |
Do you prepare for anything unexpected? |
the internet is not unexpected and it is living up to expectations on this thread. |

| I was on the fence about this discussion, but after the senseless shooting today, I've made up my mind. The gun shop should be a minimum of 1 mile from any school. I picked 1 mile arbitrarily. But if a kid can shoot a bunch of kids, we should make it very difficult for any kid to have access to guns. |
1. What would the one mile do or prevent? 2. And are you on board for the same rule for banks (actual places of crime) and alcohol/beer stores which cause drunk driving killings? |
This would be a good day for right-wing whack jobs to STFU. |
Truly grotesque watching them use a gun massacre as a reason for more guns. Losing faith in humanity.... |
glad you decided but really in just 2015, we’ve had 274 days and 294 mass shootings https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonkblog/wp/2015/10/01/2015-274-days-294-mass-shootings-hundreds-dead/ |

and lets remember our dear Barbara Comstock
another NRA lover. who is supporting the gun store who voted to close the government as another spineless politician |
What is your obsession with banks? Bank robberies are dangerous because the robbers have guns. Are you starting to see a pattern here? |
It was interesting to see the local Democrats who did not hesitate to condemn the gun store's location near the school: Foust, Murphy, Favola, Sullivan, Simon, Strauss, McElveen, while the Republicans were silent or did their usual "no bad guns, just bad people" number. And this was before Oregon. |
| This store has to go. Gun stores need to be in a remote area. Getting a gun should require an extensive background check as the one required for getting a job in law enforcement. Guns have one function and one function only, to kill. People trusted to own guns should be ones who can get security clearances. |
