    My feelings have nothing to do with a personal fear of risk for myself.
    Maybe you should advocate arming school personnel then if you're so worried. Or would you prefer that the kids continue to be sitting ducks?

    I believe there are better ways to protect schoolchildren than arming their teachers. Most teachers agree.

    That's 2/2 solutions you've proposed that involve buying more guns, what's your next sales pitch?

    The evidence of mass casualties doesn't speak to your "belief".

    Haha... you're the one that was fixated on the AR earlier.
    I did use it earlier.

    Then went more generic since it triggered the gun folk.

    When you try to be profound, it just makes you sound dumber. Try not to hurt yourself.

    It was a straight-forward dose of reality, sucker. The only reason it might be "profound" is because it shat on your outlook.

    So, if no other gun measures were enacted or laws otherwise taken off the books, explain to me why you think that arming school personnel would not save lives.

    Why Are White Men Stockpiling Guns?

    Research suggests it's largely because they're anxious about their ability

    to protect their families,

    insecure about their place in the job market and

    beset by racial fears



    Since the 2008 election of President Obama, the number of firearmsmanufactured in the U.S. has tripled, while imports have doubled.

    This doesn’t mean more households have guns than ever before—that percentage has stayed
    fairly steady for decades.

    Rather, more guns are being stockpiled by a small number of individuals.

    Three percent of the population now owns half of the country’s firearms,

    These 3% are sick people.

    We're not all one-topic posters. The Flynn thread is a lot of speculative bull but it's being driven by three or four people for the most part, and it's kept momentum thanks to a fair amount of new ongoing news.

    Any gun discussion after a mass shooting is going to go exactly the same way every time. You monkeys have been trained well to fixate on specific hypothetical talking points.
    Express your outrage about gun violence again. It's moving the bar.

    In their minds, guns are bad, ergo more guns = worse. They are ok with police officers having guns but we saw that there's a very real possibility that a cop won't be able to help you, or will not be willing to go into harm's way when the time comes. Since there will not be a confiscation of firearms from everyone, the same firearm owners now will be in existence then, and you're ed if you're in a situation where you're pinned in and there's an active shooter with plenty of time and ammo - if you don't have a gun. The liberals want you to not have a gun, because "muh gun" people will obviously kill everyone in the crossfire, and as we've seen in Texas with both the CHL and open carry, mass road rage and store rage killings happen on a daily basis, just as predicted. So you know teachers would kill the black students, especially the ones they slap in the head on twitter videos.

    Duh!

    A gun is a tool. Each different type is good for specific purposes. You don't hunt squirrels with a shotgun just like you don't hunt quail with a .22LR rifle. In all, if you were preparing to be self sufficient and able to defend/provide for your family, you'd probably need at least 8-10 different guns.

    Not that shocking...some people just prep better than others.

    = I'm so scared of Pew-pews that I think a .22 can perform the same tasks as a .308 or .30-06

    Again, coming from you I'll take that as a compliment.

    Convince me otherwise. Tell me how you're going to beat the armed forces of the US government.
    With his well regulated militia's right to bear nuclear arms.

    At least that's how I'd do it

    No. I'm fine with making the materials harder to get if need be.

    Nothing we do here moves a bar. I'm content to simply make fun of people who are so enthusiastic about their big cool guns that they spend hours re-hashing the same stale arguments in their favor.

    Because the introduction of firearms widely increases the potentiality of accidental shootings beyond any plausible "saves lives" scenario. It would kill more people than it would save, and the statistics on accidental shootings bears that out.

    If you really think it will "save lives", feel free to start an insurance company, and issue liability policies based on that assumption. Let me know how it goes.

    So, my children should not be allowed to be protected from mass murderers because some people accidentally kill themselves with guns? That's full re , bro.

    The only children you could have would be ones you abduct at gunpoint.
