[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We Don't need SROs or metal detectors. What we do need are common sense gun laws.[/quote]

We already have gun laws.

Heck, kids aren't supposed to be smoking weed at school - yet, the bathrooms are filled with weed, and fentanyl and other drugs.

We have drug laws, but those don't keep drugs out of our schools.

We have laws about bomb threats, but we now know that those don't apply to kids under the age of 13.  So, we still had a rash of bomb threats in MCPS.

We have laws protecting kids from sexual assault, but we have rapes in our schools.  [/quote]

And so therefore we should just get rid of laws about drugs, bombs, and sexual assaults? Is that what you're saying? There are laws against murder, but people still murder, therefore we shouldn't have laws against murder?[/quote]

DP.
[b]It’s pointless to throw MORE laws around when the EXISTING laws aren’t followed or enforced.[/b] I’m all for gun control, but I’m also a realist. Do you think gun violence is always being committed by people who own the guns lawfully? If a person is willing to break the law, won’t they be willing to break one or two more? So fine… write all the gun laws you want. Then what? NOTHING will change without enforcement.

Someone upthread said we don’t need police in schools. We just need more gun laws. Again: how will that help? More laws and no enforcement?

When it comes down to reason and logic: the schools need security and the EXISTING rules enforced. Let’s start there. [/quote]

No. No, it's not. No. That's like saying, "It's pointless to go buy MORE food when the EXISTING food hasn't been eaten."

You are not, actually, all for gun control.[/quote]

Okay. Dismiss my point simply because you don’t like it. I don’t own guns. I don’t like guns.

I just don’t see the point of writing laws when we don’t enforce existing ones.

But if you feel that writing more laws will help, have at it. I’m certainly not stopping you. Just don’t expect anything to change for all those efforts.[/quote]
