Nevermind. I confused reading that on my phone. :oops:
Hi, B. Some things don't change I see.
If I don't take ownership of my own mistakes, I get brutally flamed. Actually, I get flamed anyhow.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

CNN news has included a clip in which the Broward County Sheriff at a public briefing revealed a uniformed armed deputy was at the scene during the shooting and stayed outside the building for six (6) miutes while the killer was shooting his former school mates. The report mentioned the deputy was there as his regular duty, and not as going to the school in response to shooting reports to the police. The report has it that the deputy has since resigned from the job.

WTF
any chance this will help eliminate the idea that shooters don't enter buildings if armed guards/teachers are present?
Armed teachers, you say.

Do I think FOX news had him on (emphasis on the night of the shooting) to push their agenda? no, and I think they'll be more wary about it in the future. Their particular agenda isn't served by it.

I have a stupid amount of people on my Facebook posting things about racing to buy an AR15 before it gets banned. And all of them are fucking serious.

Boy am I glad to be from an inner ring suburb where white people act like gangsters yet support Trump and arm themselves to the teeth for no reason at all. This is why I don't fuck with Facebook anymore, I apparently know too many psychopaths.

It’s actually a highly effective deterrent. I mean, my kids won’t enter a school if there are armed teachers there

The average republican's ability to forget they are the "small government" party while suggesting insanely expensive new government programs (like training and arming teachers) will never cease to amaze me.

one of my good friends pointed this out today...

A lot of the people who were upset at NFL playeres taking a protesting police brutality by taking a knee during the national anthem, because, its disrespectful to the Miltary,
are also constantly going on and on about supporting the police. They also, are now going on and on about their 2nd amendment rights to bare arms, to protect us from a tyranical governement, and be able to fight back, against, the very same police, and miltary, that a tyranical government would be using to put down a well armed milita that looked to over throw it.

And the crazier part, is if there was less guns on the streets, police would feel safer, and less likely to be trigger happy. Meaning less police shootings, and no more protests. Case in point, England, where police do not even carry guns!


The gun nuts, are spinning us into a never ending cycle of violence and hatred, but their too brain washed by the NRA and other groups to realize it.

Sort of like running for president by saying all the generals are dumb, and then having 3 of them in your cabinet?

And all this from a misinterpretation of the actual words of the 2nd ammendment. Fuckin' Scalia can never die... The words "well regulated" are in the damn text!

I feel like a federal buyback program would be a good idea. Reduce the amount of weapons in circulation.

The number of false equivalences in that Dana Loesch speech that’s making the rounds on social media is mind boggling.

This is a good idea. It’s an incentive for those who are feeling an internal struggle emotionally (like Burts post a day ago). To get a couple of hundred bucks might just be enough.

I think people would just cash in their old crap and buy a new toy.

No one who is a danger to others is going to use it unless they are desperate for crack money.

We're well beyond reducing supply as a solution at this point.
