damn right
We have the best school shootings
damn right
They've never put their money where their mouth is in this regard. St. Ronnie's 1981 Act cut funding toward mental health care (and other programs/spending deemed "inessential") in favor of, you guessed it, defense spending
We've always had a load of guns in this country, but yet mass shootings started reaching concerning levels in the 80s and have increased in frequency since. Correlation=/=causation, but this didn't happen at anywhere near the same frequency in previous decades, and that was a period when little 8 year old Johnny on the farm had his own .22 rifle under his bed. Conservatives will wax hogwash about how everyone was more respectful and said sir and ma'am in those Leave it to Beaver days, but it's really because mental health care was more robust (not necessarily more effective, but they didn't let obviously troubled people roam the streets to the degree we do today).
A teacher at the school told the Miami Herald that Cruz, 19, had been identified as a potential threat to fellow students in the past. Math teacher Jim Gard says he believes the school administration had sent out an email warning teachers that Cruz had made threats against other teenagers in the past. Another student interviewed by the Miami Herald said Cruz was punished once for having bullet casings at school.
“We were told last year that he wasn’t allowed on campus with a backpack on him,” said Gard, who said Cruz had been in his class last year. “There were problems with him last year threatening students, and I guess he was asked to leave campus.”

Don’t know how the he got on to the campus knowing this.
Trump hinting at possible proposed security measures. Reminds me of the casinos after the Vegas shootings.
JFK signed into law the Community Mental Health Centers Construction Act. Reagan, as governor of CA, signed into law the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act. Carter signed into law the 1980 Mental Health Systems Act, Reagan repealed it a year later with the Omnibus Act that cut funding there in favor of defense spending.
I know you're trying to hang it on Democrats because two of the authors of the LPS act were Dems, but conservative Democrats do exist, especially more-so in the 60s.
This guy having a gun concerns me
I think we have a match.
I posted both pictures and even I don’t think that’s a match![]()
Look at the brow. Gotta be him.
He probably would have killed 1/2 a guy and a dog if he didnt have automatic weapon available tbqh
Killer has the same last name as Ted and radio silence from Ted.
This has happened more times than under any President I can remember. All you asshole who voted for Trump basically are accomplices. you all.
So, I’m good then. Thanks
Lol wanting so bad to be him.
We should talk about both.
We can also talk about how to stop guys like Aaron from getting shot
Just letting y’all know you’re not getting the guns.
5. Violent crime rates tracked by "Right-to-Carry" (RTC) States vs. non-RTC. RTC states are significantly safer:
4. Compared to 25 other "First World" (OECD) countries, the United States has very few robberies.
3. Compared to all other United Nations' members, the U.S. murder rate is extremely low (and far lower if you pull out "gun-free" zones like Chicago and Washington, D.C.).
2. Gun ownership in the U.S. is literally off the charts, which validates Dr. John Lott: more guns yield less crime (or, as Heinlein put it, "An armed society is a polite society").
1. And, finally, for global homicide rates, the United States ranks on the low end of the spectrum. And, again, if "gun-free" zones like Chicago, Washington, D.C., and New York City were pulled from the data, the U.S. would be among the safest countries on Earth.
Bonus: From 2007-2010, if you wanted to avoid a mass-murder incident, domestic violence or general violent crime, you'd be far better off living in a right-to-carry state.
The Executive Summary:
Based on the crime data presented in this article — again, all the data come from countries and organizations supporting the most extreme forms of gun control — the gun-ban movement promotes a fatally flawed agenda whose outcome includes:
• More women raped;
• More blacks murdered;
• More people experiencing fear;
• More school children murdered;
• And the individual’s civil rights infringed.
If civilian disarmament is a righteous, caring agenda, why must gun-control advocates manipulate their own data to manufacture “proof” of its validity?
And what kind of empathetic people exploit the occasion of murdered children and a distraught public as the proper time to ask for support of their agenda?
We know precisely what kind of "empathetic people" exploit murdered children to pursue their Statist agenda. We call them "Democrats".
