Can We Protect The Children?

Why not stand behind protecting our schools, with structural hardening and 'ARMED" security personnel and trained staff?

Political 'Gun' grabbing is ineffectual, despicable, irresponsible and dangerous!

I am so sick of this mentality.

We have had almost three decades to fix this.

The 'gun control' narrative is more important to the left than child protection!

Shame on them all. It's so sad and so obvious!

Since the beginning of the human history, there has been evil. Evil will continue to exist no matter how much gun control is implemented. Take away guns from good people, and you give evil the upper hand. They will [b]always[/b] find a way to get a gun.

Breitbart published an article in 2018. The US ranked 64th out of 97 countries with respect to mass shootings. The US has 5% of the world's population, but 1.15% of the mass shootings. The media will have you believe this is the only place on earth where these atrocities happen. That leads to the bulls*t narrative that getting rid of guns will get rid of the problem. Nothing could be further from the truth.

A political party willing to kill a baby in the womb up to and even just after it leaves the womb does not care about the lives of children. They want to disarm the American populace, and will use their typical narrative and tactics to demonize law abiding citizens for simply exercising their Constitutional right.

I realize this isn't a simple debate, because guns are used to commit horrific crimes. But the horror of tyranny will be far, [b][big]far[/big][/b] worse if the American populace becomes disarmed.

@BizSuitStacy a lie that gets children killed, every day.

@BizSuitStacy If guns are banned only criminals and law and military will have them. Doesn’t sound like a scenario I want. Because when a jack-boot thug comes and kicks your door in you’ll be at his mercy, no way to defend yourself against an armed criminal, and they re likely to kill you so as not to leave any eyewitneses. It’s better to put some mystery in their minds as to whether a resident is armed or not

@BizSuitStacy You nailed that one. Good comments. Just about all of the gun control bills are pushed by members of one ethnic group. Are they trying to protect people from gun violence or are they working on a diabolical plan to disarm Americans to further their own nefarious agenda?

@Changeisgonnacome Absolutely!

Those are the words of tyranny and evil.
Congratulations . What did Hitler, Stalin and Mao all do before murdering at least 100 million people collectively. They disarmed their political adversaries. BTW...do you support Planned Parenthood?

@BizSuitStacy people would need to establish the truth to fight lies like that. You win, of course. Nobody can argue with a team of liars.
@Changeisgonnacome Through out history, gov't has disarmed its citizens for the sole purpose of controlling them. Many scolars have written about it over the centuries, including Socrates roughly 2500 years ago. Go ahead and villify. You're an absolute fool for ignoring history and the evil and corruption that often resides within those in power. The founding fathers wrote the 2nd Amendment to prevent governments and fools to force others to relinquish their right to defend themselves.

@BizSuitStacy Some State constitutions include articles that specify that the people have the right to overthrow an oppressive government by whatever means they deem necessary. Of course if they fail they can be tried for treason so it's an all-or-nothing game.
@Diotrephes True!
