Hawkeye21 1,927 Posted June 2, 2022 4 minutes ago, Sean Mooney said: It's real simple: If the door was propped open then lots of blame is on the teacher. The cops have confirmed that the door was not propped open at the time of entry, and security footage confirms this. If the door was shut but not locked that is on either the school facilities director or a custodian for not fixing the door lock or the school facilities committee for not getting it fixed ASAP. Considering that there was another door with a malfunctioning locking mechanism it seems like this might be the issue. To me, this is the most logical and common sense way of thinking about it.

Hey, if the door was broke and it was reported, I don’t blame the teacher for using it. I’d have no issue with that at all. My issue then would be with the school cops for not making sure it was secured after it being reported to them. But I don’t think that happened, but I’m open to the possibility. But it’s doubtful.

Maybe something for a teacher lunch after school (it was the 2nd to last day). She propped the door open to bring that food into the building. She heard the wreck at the funeral home as she was going in. Grabbed her phone, walked back outside and heard someone yell "He has a gun" and heard shots. She then went back in the building and shut the door behind her kicking out the rock. This is also shown on surveillance video. There is also an additional report that another door in the building had a non functioning locking mechanism. And a "shelter in place" call is not instantaneous. Why are you taking about rocks so much in a joking matter? You must have said ten times she put a rock in the door. Stfu clown. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Assault weapons ban???? That happened many moons ago. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Assault_Weapons_Ban The Public Safety and Recreational Firearms Use Protection Act or Federal Assault Weapons Ban (AWB) was a subsection of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, a United States federal law which included a prohibition on the manufacture for civilian use of certain semi-automatic firearms that were defined as assault weapons as well as certain ammunition magazines that were defined as large capacity. The 10-year ban was passed by the U.S. Congress on August 25, 1994 and was signed into law by President Bill Clinton on September 13, 1994.[1] The ban applied only to weapons manufactured after the date of the ban's enactment. It expired on September 13, 2004, in accordance with its sunset provision. Several constitutional challenges were filed against provisions of the ban, but all were rejected by the courts. There were multiple attempts to renew the ban, but none succeeded. Also, fwiw - The scientific consensus among criminologists and other researchers is that the ban had little to no effect on overall criminal activity, firearm deaths, or the lethality of gun crimes. This contrasts with findings on other gun control legislation targeting handguns, such as mandatory waiting periods, which likely reduce overall gun deaths [2][3]. Studies have found that the overwhelming majority of gun crimes are committed with weapons which are not covered by the AWB, and that assault weapons are less likely to be used in homicides than other weapons. There is tentative evidence that the frequency of mass shootings may have slightly decreased while the ban was in effect, but research is inconclusive, with independent researchers finding conflicting results Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KSB2424 3,087 Posted June 2, 2022 I'm all for gun control. I'm not going to get into the minutia of exactly what guns and ammo should be illegal to purchase but fair minds can find a line in the sand. My brother has an AR-15 that I've fired a few times. It's bad ass but, yeah, I wouldn't be against guns of that nature at being where the line is drawn. I'm a gun owner but no where near an afficiando so will let the professionals make those calls. There is an array of handguns, shotguns and rifles used for self defense, sport, hunting and yes arming a militia in the minute chance. However when you hear people like Biden and Hillary talk about it they sound dumb as fock. Beto talking about it makes me want to vomit. I'm defintely for raising the age to 21, no brainer to me. And expanded background checks for all, including felonies and mental health screenings in those checks. All for it, but I'm drawing a line there......watching the police stand down during riots and looting was the hair that broke the camels back on any thing more stringent. So go pound sand.

Sean Mooney 1,228 Posted June 2, 2022 The simplest thing we can do- which won't solve everything but will help- is raise the federal age at which a person can buy a gun to something like 21 to 25. Most school shootings are done by people under 21 when they are not great at managing their mental health. Now being that the average age of amass shooter is 33 there will still be mass shootings but it would help keep the children safe. We probably need a clearer defined category of guns that are illegal to own but I know that will lead to a bunch of angst from groups of people Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably, but nothing is perfect. Look if I had to pick a side it would be to legalize ALL guns if the only other option is to ban ALL guns. With that said, common sense gun control can be done, hell I think we are pretty much three quarters the way there. It's a hot button topic but it just seems like you get some smart people with knowledge of the subject in a room, come up with a plan and present it to both sides as a resolution. They look at calibers, ballistic tests, rounds per minute, or whatever gun and ammo metric and draw some lines. I don't know just spitballin'. And yes I know you can all but make your own type of gun yourself thru modification, not to mention the advent of 3D Printing. This is an ever evolving issue. What I DO know is if you banned all guns, it would be really bad, like civil war bad. It's just not feasible. Not to mention you think, as an example the Bloods and Crips will be turning their stolen guns in? It sort of a silly, pie in the sky notion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
