Florida School Shooting, Over 20 Casualties

[Barbados Slim]

Just a question if you ban assault rifles i know people with automatic pistols homemade what to do for them?

..... arrest them.
Meth is illegal but there are criminals that make it. What happens when they get caught?
People make homemade bombs....

Nobody that wants to ban assault rifles thinks that shootings will drop to 0. However, if the number of shooting drops even 15% you don't think it's worth it?

i can’t wait when these politicians get shot and killed at the capitol building. no they won’t ban any guns.

Didnt one from Arizona get popped a few years back?

Edit:

"On January 8, 2011, Giffords was shot in the head[2] outside a Safeway grocery store in Casas Adobes, Arizona, a suburban area northwest of Tucson, during her first "Congress on Your Corner" (a public opportunity for constituents to speak directly with their representatives[42]) gathering of the year. A man ran up to the crowd and began firing a 9mm pistol with a 33-round magazine,[43][44] hitting 19 people,[45] and killing six."

These cats got shot up at a baseball game, NOTHING changed...these clowns can lose their kids to a maniac letting off an AR15 wearing an “I love the NRA” tee and MAGA hat and will look the other way...spineless POS

They're a symbol of historical white power.

Pretty much. Possessing guns was the only check in place slave owners had to leverage slaves. The whole classist/racist system we know today was founded under these circumstances. It's no wonder they hold their guns in such high regard. They're a symbol of historical white power. Fast forward to the military and the police and nothing has really changed.

Word to the police deploying officers with military grade weapons, armor, and vehicles to a peaceful protest in Ferguson...

How you arrest somebody if you dont know what they have?

The president doesn't have a magic wand. He signs the laws that Congress passes, and Congress is drowning in dark money. The NRA alone dropped tens of millions in GOP campaign coffers, and that is only one of the many small groups that have taken the political process hostage through campaign financing.

Wanna fix things? Vote for legislators that want to take big money out of politics or at least reduce its influence.

I don't want to talk politics really but you be foolish to think the President doesn't have a Magic Wand.

A quick stroke of the Pen (Magic Wand) can put a lot of this to rest. What am I saying? The almighty Magic Wand an Executive Order! ... You aren't touching the second amendment, citizens will be able to bear arms, however, it will be single action rifles low capacity hand guns etc.

How can this work? Obviously high capacity automatic weapons are a danger to the US citizens and thus a thread to our National Security.

Oh well . ..

This circle still going?

damn.

wait, no, but really: Native Americans, slaves, natives again, Mexicans, each other, then sorta made up and took the operation worldwide. just damn.

Semi automatic rifles didn't stop the Virginia Tech massacre. Dude used 2 pistols

Honestly at this point you have to make it harder for people to get guns period.

I'm into guns and it even scares me how it easy is to "legally" buy a gun in Texas.

Slow progress better than no progress

4. Old whites only care about old whites. You guys go back and forth over who cares about what, check the facts. One way or another these old whites agree that they need to get paid. Only thing they disagree about is who should get more at a given time. Why people place faith that these old whites, the same people that wanted women to stay home and not vote, and the same people that thought blacks going to the same schools as their kids was crazy, do NOT care about anyone but old whites

5. White christian Americans are the most dangerous group of people in America.

and like i said in the politics thread it’s the baby boomer gen passing these traits to the gen x and influencing the next gen

Brah, how they arrest drug dealers that don't sell on street corners?

How do they arrest people who want to hire hitmen? Commit fraud?

How is crime even solved????

It’d be kinda great if everyone just decided not to vote for any offices and all positions would be empty. Then we gotta start over.

Politicians and their families would vote them in.

 

[Nike Jordan]

I honestly don't know what this is gonna solve.

After Columbine, the library where most of the shooting deaths happened, was demolished and turned into a memorial site.

I think "Thoughts and prayers" is a great and powerful tool. But it is completely useless by itself. Positive thoughts and empathy for others is important. Appealing to a higher power for wisdom and comfort in challenging situations can be a catalyst for breakthrough. But stopping there is all most people seem to do these days. It's become a mockery. A lazy, uninspired cop-out that is direct opposition with the principles taught in the scriptures.

Those who truly care, seek wisdom and insight, and are ACTIVELY working towards resolutions to challenging issues are lumped in with the rest of the group. It's disheartening but we still must channel our energy both mental AND physical to manage what life throws our way. It's the step thats not taken, that is the step thats headed in the wrong direction.

"What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, be warmed and filled," without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead." -James 2 14-16

That's a band-aid on a gaping wound.

Have you seen the amount of Obama-era EOs that have been terminated by this administration? We need long term solutions here, and people really need to stop trying to find ways to not get involved.

 

[sooperhooper]

Thoughts and prayers is just a pleasantry to show that you hope something good happens. Unless you're putting up your effort or money, you're not really helping. Chase auto finance, my apartment complex, and Austin energy couldn't care less about my thoughts and prayers. Duckets is what made stuff shake in America.

 

[hipstermike]

this whole thing is just a sad example of everyone ("authorities") passing the buckkk

trump blames the students

the students blame the guns

fbi blames regulations

To be fair to the FBI, the NRA has lobbied enough that its extremely hard to connect a person who purchases a gun to someone on a watch list especially in states that have loose gun laws

after that Daily Show picture was posted here about translating what Repubs say, that Tiahrt Amendment is insane SMH

Did you talk with the kids in your class about the shooting?

Exactly my point. Its become a pleasantry but it's not supposed to be.

this made me for some reason. An entire war fought with the hands would be a sight to a sight to see.
