It's kind of funny seeing that 2013 article reference Ukranian peasants standing up against Stalin. Clearly modern Ukranian peasants are doing a good job of standing up against the tyrannical Russians - all they needed was their guns and a unifying will to resist. (And a few hundred billion dollars worth of heavy armaments donated by sympathetic non-tyrannical governments)

I love the personal responsibility argument from the guy who dabs before he drives his kids to school or on a racetrack. Fucking clown. Gtfohwts.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell delivered an emotional speech on the Senate floor Wednesday following a mass shooting in a Texas school a day earlier.
The top Senate Republican put the blame clearly on the shooter, whom he described as a “deranged young man” and “maniac,” echoing the views of many Republicans that mental illness is the root cause of many of these recurring tragedies.
McConnell didn’t make any mention of the 18-year-old shooter’s easy access to high-powered weapons or any possible preventative legislative solutions.

In separate interviews with CNN, Florida GOP Sens. Marco Rubio and Rick Scott defended the need for AR-15s and semi-automatic weapons, dismissing calls for expanded background checks.
When asked about the prospect of banning AR-15s, Scott said, “I think we have in our Constitution our Second Amendment rights, and we shouldn’t take away rights for law-abiding citizens.”
These scumbags would have a very different tone if their family members were the victims. Or maybe they wouldn't....

There are about 88,000 elementary schools in America. If the proposal is armed guards to protect a single-entry point, each school needs enough trained and armed guards to face a gunman in body armor. Maybe, four? So ~350,000 guards. More than the army that occupied Iraq. Whether a person is for or against the idea, that's just what it is.

Go for it. Give us customers an education. Just like you do on the showroom floor. Or batch about your stupid clients to the guy in the next cube.

For all the "OMG Johnny can't drink at 18 but he can shoot!"
We could increase the right of voting age back from 18 to 21 in combination with making the right of firearm ownership age 21, plus throw in MJ legal at 21 too?
Or maybe we would like to standardize all that, and drinking, at 19?Originally Posted by blurred

I was going to talk to my first grader but instead just told her I loved her and gave her an extra tight hug as I dropped her off for 1st grade.
Kids that young I’m not sure what taking to them can do other than make them fearful. Reality is if shit went down a 7 year old is cannon fodder.
Crazy to think that this limp dick killed 21 while being pursued by law enforcement. Can you imagine if he went to the school first, before shooting his grandma? We could realistically be looking at 60-80+ dead kids and teachers.

They are, but we hear about it less. Our media doesn't give a shit about poor brown and black children in other countries getting slaughtered, because there is no political action associated with such tragedy. Media kinda care when the biggest attack on a school in history happens, but only kinda.
Everyone remembers Columbine.
Few in the US remember Beslan.
There does seem to be VASTLY more terrorism aimed at schools outside the US. Do we see more psychopathy aimed at schools in the US? I'm not sure.Originally Posted by blurred

China has had dozens of school attacks in the past decade

, but fewer deaths per incident because knives and hammers and cleavers are harder to kill with.
