Ban guns! It’s so easy to fix.

As someone who taught in a school that was fashioned like a prison I 100% agree. That does something to a child’s psyche that I would not want children to experience. Stop putting all of our burdens on our most vulnerable population. Adults don’t seem to want to make change or sacrifice anything for children.

Make those changes, but they take time. But in the meantime? Save the children. The door, according to MSN who referenced video, was left propped open. Teacher went out, got his/her phone to call authorities after the shooter crashed his truck and shot at funeral home personnel, went back in and sadly didn't shut the door. Not his/her fault, just an unfortunate circumstance.

Just think if he didn’t have a gun, we wouldn’t be having this discussion and burying a bunch of children.

If the teacher had a weapon in his/her car, got that instead of just a cell phone, shut the door and stood on the inside, or if there wa s an armed resource officer inside, it could have been different too.

We can both play the wish it was game. But that won't change a thing tomorrow. Again, even if there was a massive ban and buyback program, that takes time. There are things that can be changed today to protect kids tomorrow

The answer is always more guns, isn’t it?! When do we have enough guns? You aren’t much better than the shooter. You enable people like him.

It's worked in the past. It's not always the answer but I guess until you get ALL the guns, your odds are better if there is a good guy with one as well.

The “good guy” line was literally made up by the NRA after Sandy Hook. There were 19 good guys there and they were all afraid of the arsenal that the people they voted for made available to the bad guy.

Here’s the training manual for school shootings:

So take all the guns away from honest, law abiding citizens and see if the violence stops.

The mass shooting will stop. They didn’t exist before. Suicide by gun will also drop. Win-win in my book. Men will have to find another way to channel their rage.

Texas college shooting in the 60s. Sure they did. In Oct 1991 in Killeen TX. 24 dead. December 7, 1987, an entire plane was brought down in CA after the gunman killed the pilot and co-pilot, killing all aboard.

That's just two. Three. There are more.

There are way more now.

You don't see a group of firefighters standing outside of burning building watching it burn down. They fight like hell even if that building is empty. They risked their own lives, saving people, even when they know that there's no hope. We need police reform in this nation. The only reason police unions keep backing Republicans is because they never question and just keep throwing more money at them.
I love civil servants and police forces but they need to be held accountable to do their jobs to do them well and to do them for every person in this nation, not just the whites.

We need police with courage. We need police that will put their safety aside and rush in with everything they’ve got- when kids are being mass murdered. I wouldn’t expect this of police in very circumstance. But a school shooting, you
GO IN and stop him or die trying. We need police capable of this

I remember a time when the idea that people wouldn’t smoke cigarettes everywhere was inconceivable.

I hate guns and I can also be realistic about the power of the 2nd amendment.

No amendment about tobacco.

NP

2A applies to militias. We have a standing military, national guard, and white supremacy militias like the Oath Keepers. The Oath Keepers and those of their ilk should not have guns.

I don’t think people realize how recent this “2nd amendment = you get a gun! everyone gets a gun!” interpretation is.

It doesn't matter how recent it is or not. It's important to voters in places like Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, and the Dakotas. So just in those states alone far fewer than 10 million people will always have ten senators who do NOTHING to push for gun control.

Wow... it's almost as if once the assault weapons ban was ended... and assault weapons became easily available again... that -- shazam! -- mass shootings increased!

Oh well, guess that's just "the American Way"!


The 10-year ban on assault weapons was passed by the US Congress on August 25, 1994 and was signed into law by US President Bill Clinton on September 13, 1994. The ban applied only to weapons manufactured after the date of the ban's enactment. It expired on September 13, 2004, in accordance with its sunset provision.

South Dakota had two Democratic senators up until the 2000s.

Bomb can be used. Evil is just that - it finds a way.

We can imagine scenarios forever though. Better to start by securing things right away and simultaneously work on meaningful reform.

Evil manages to not find a way in countries that have meaningfully banned guns. Get your head out of the sand.

Democrats need a focus more money on locally elections in typically red states.
I don't think people realize how much more important state legislatures and governorships will be going forward considering this scotus thinks the state should handle a lot of the big issues that are important to us

I would like to ask the senators why they think America has so many more shootings than all other countries combined.
And why keeping our children safe is a political issue to them

How do you feel about "proper perimeter fences" that are "intended to deter"? Big fan?

I think anything you do to slow down someone is helpful. Ted Bundy got Kimberly Leach on school grounds. He would have had a hard time climbing a locked fence with a child in tow.

The gunman climbed an 8' fence to get in.

The police had a lot of time to act. They chose not to.

I'm confused. There were police inside the school area and outside the school area and not one of them shot a guy with a gun climbing the fence right in front of them? Or did he take off and they could not find him fast enough?

What about the door that was left propped open? Not a problem re: security?

They were 3-7 there almost immediately after he entered. He fired in their general direction and they ran away. 19 of them then waited 40 minutes in a hallway and told to stand down. Eventually the border patrol guys arrived and after 20 minutes arguing with the Uvalde police they decided to go in themselves.

Response time was not a problem. They had it. They were there.

At the school, agree. I mean after the truck crashed and before he breached the fence and entered through the open door.

It took him at least 12 minutes to get inside the building. He shot at people outside too. The police station is 1.5 miles away. The 911 calls started within 2 minutes of the crash. A patrol car drove past him.

Only two things could have prevented this. Banning AR-15s or having uncowardly cops. Lower capacity magazines and ammo purchase limits would have helped reduce the death toll.

There is no supervisor alive that could keep me from breaking rank and going through that door. One of those cops needs to be fired and have their pensions pulled.

One of the little girls called 911 multiple times and BEGGED for the police to help. How could they just...stand there? Those children didn't all die instantly, obviously, since reports are that the child who repeatedly dialed 911 died. It breaks my heart to think of how many of those kids may have bled out waiting on help that was literally right on the other side of a classroom door.
How can they live with themselves???

We want to get those laws back ASAP. Everyone wants them except the stupid NRA and the gun industry where it gets its blood money .

I heard that report as I was driving home from work today and I literally had to pull over. I felt so nauseous thinking about that. Poor little girl and how it could be my daughter that the cops just left to die.... I don't understand how anyone could do that

Seems that they were afraid of the guns and ammo in that room. We need to get rid of those guns and that ammo. (And if law enforcement is not for you, find another job...that is fine.)
