Yep...ANOTHER mass shooting.

FYI, I've stopped answering stupid rhetorical questions.

strikes me as a valid question.

cognitive dissonance at its finest I suppose....

I have no plans to home school. To settle the question. My boy enters Kindergarten next year

Serious question Bluering, do you honestly want your kid to go to an armed preschool/elementary school?

Now THAT'S a rhetorical question. Bluering wants whatever the latest tea bagger memo tells him he should want.

Lots of dead students at VA Tech and Columbine - armed guards and police didn't matter

So objective reality proves you wrong. As usual.

You are an emotional contortionist, bra. I didn't say anything about you loving your children. I said that you'll regurgitate the party line. And you did. F*#k off.

Nah Dingus, just seeing the pot, hoping to make an inside straight.

What is your solution?

The unintentional firearm injury death rate among children ages 14 and under in the United States is nine times higher than in 25 other industrialized countries combined.

Carry on per usual. Don't be a paranoid freak. Show your kids dad isn't some crackpot bending with every rumor he hears.

Sh#t happens, but it is not very likely to happen at school. Your side is the one saying the media is overblowing the matter, so don't get blown. Simple.

"Rates" are not additive, they are a number per population, for example 88 / 100K. You cannot "combine" the rates of anything and have the result mean anything.

Pay teachers 10k more who carry. Maybe that'd get teachers more where they should be paid too. Even though I still don't think teachers should carry at school.

Is it PTSD that makes me flinch when i hear a loud noise outside the shop these days? I GUESS you could call it that. But i would rather call it reacting due to experience. Life is trauma and we all get some.

well with those divulged facts, yes im sure i would have done exactly as you.! Cept i would have gone HUNTING afterwards.

Ron, because you don't deal with people with mental problems on a daily basis in trying to get through life, you don't realize that the rationalization that you've given above, is EXACTLY the same rationalization that most of them use for NOT getting help and treatment, and going on to tragic ends.

So think about this: You've admitted to a problem that is likely PTSD, a mental disorder. And you have guns. And you've purchased guns and given them to people who couldn't legally have them. And you deny it all, because you would RATHER call it something else.

I would be very concerned about being around you when you are intoxicated, and angry, because you will be armed, and you may react without even understanding that you are doing so.

A pediatrician will usually ask if there's guns in the home - they know they're a leading cause of child fatality.


That is the stupidest sh#t I've heard in a while. Where did you hear that gem from? Or was it just pulled from yer ass?

Let's try to be sincere, folks
