We don’t need more useless jobs programs that suck away money from education, health care, etc. when we can just ban AR-15s.
PP before - THE ARMED SECURITY DID NOTHING.
OMG, there was no armed security.
Why did they lie and say there was?
I’d like to get facts from a neutral source. FBI?
Investigation press conference today confirmed no guard, armed or otherwise.
Who confirmed?
TX DPS Director Steve McCraw. Press conference is happening now.

One way to start is to prevent them from easy access to weapons of mass killing.
Teach your children to be kind and inclusive.
Of course everyone should be kind but it is not my daughter’s responsibility to manage the feelings of the boy who acts scary or is disrespectful to her. Kids should not be made to feel responsible for the mental health of other kids.

Good, go away.
I moved overseas in 2019. There are many things I miss about America but having my kids do active shooter drills is not one of them. People from other countries look at America and shake their head at the dysfunction on this issue of gun violence.

You seem to have no clue how many guns are on American streets.
It's just crazy what is allowed in this country in the name of freedom.[/quote ]

Sure fix the angry young men. But at least start with making it illegal for them to buy AR-15; style weapons. I'm not sympathetic in the least towards responsible gun owners who might lose their rights to these things. Put on your grownup pants and get over it.
