I got grounded🥴

@Picklebobble2 I had been told to ignore her before so I should have.

@Cinderellagirl You can ignore verbal insult or threat, but it's still designed to intimidate.

@Cinderellagirl No, you did the right thing. The school was obvously wrong. Which is why bullying goes unchecked & why a lot of school shootings & suicides happen. It's a pity that this is allowed.

@nickir Well, no. School shootings happen because people can get hold of guns so easily.

@MaryJo1996 And yet I carried a gun for years, went into my bank 250+x & NEVER had to wrestle said pistol to the ground to make sure it didn't shoot someone.
When you allow bullying, as they did at Columbine & here, the bullied resent it. Some of them take action.
There were predatory acts done by school shooters that should have been warnings but were leniently dealt with. For Columbine they had broken into a truck & stolen workman's tools, in another the boy had hung 19 cats & his dad said "Boys will be boys". That is a problem, not the availability of guns.
If you punish the defender or the bullied the same lazy way you punish the bully A you are not making a statement that BULLYING is bad, & B you need to moderate the punishment for the defender so as not to seem as unreasonable as you are. Justified violence is not the problem; it may solve the problem. Bullying is the problem.

@nickir Bullying happens a lot in schools in Britain, but there are no school shootings.

I'll let you figure out as to why.

@MaryJo1996 I don't know but is there more bullying in Britain than in the US?

@nickir No idea. I just said there is bullying, but no school shootings.

@MaryJo1996 Most, if not all of our school shootings happen in gun-free zones. Oddly enough, shooters don't like it when people shoot back.

@nickir You're really not understanding the point.

@MaryJo1996 My point is that taking away a Constitutional right from MILLIONS of law-abiding Americans because you're too lazy to enforce laws against murder & process indicating mayhem & bullying is a bit like throwing out 1000 babies because you would rather not bathe them.
Making guns harder to get virtually entirely only affects law-abiding citizens. It would not ameliorate crime in the slightest. It would probably cause an increase instead. The gun-free zones vivdly illustrate the point. They don't stop school shootings, they encourage them. Crims don't abide by gun-free zones, so making the country gun-free accomplishes nothing.

@nickir Gun ownership is a very diffuclt process in the UK - it's almost impossible, and has been since Dunblane in 1996. Number of mass shootings since? Zero.

Enjoy your shootings, simply for the sake of something in your consitution that is not relevant in the 21st century.

@MaryJo1996 It is especially relevant now. We had Nixon, the cockroach turd before 1st Trump, Biden, & could have had the DIE hire this last time. Guns are 1 of 3 things that keep us dictator-free.

@MaryJo1996 Not a sheep. Gun grabbers are the sheep since they buy the ridiculous argument that if we only add 1 more gun law to the 5090+ we already have we'll be safer.

Guns have been used millions of times to prevent violence. One shop owner I talked to was compliant at being robbed until the robber tried to take him to the back room to kill him. Then he shot the robber dead. A gun law would have kept guns away from him, not the robber.
