    Usually I say the affordability of guns designed for mass production are a problem, but that DD is unusual.

    C'mon. Do you think all these vets came back as animals and can't be trained to simply protect a school? That they don't have kids themselves? That they never interacted with local kids in Afghanistan or wherever they served? That schools can't do an interview or background check on them beforehand?

    That doesn't make any sense. Arguing with me on TGR literally does nothing for your cause. Are you saying its my fault youre engaging me?

    Bobby, you the NRA & and the GQP can try and sell that narrative. Anyone with a brain knows it is horse shit.
    Close down sales of guns to civilians and buy back all of the guns out there.
    Put a bounty out and make it very profitable to snitch out your gun fag neighbor.
    Make having a banned weapon a very long prison term.
    Within a few years the guns and this issue are gone.

    That wont happen as they are valuable. There are no buy backs in place and selling to another private owner literally does nothing.

    So... What exactly is the personal sacrifice you speak of?
    Support a federal, state, and local registry. Support insurance requirements. Support destroying all confiscated firearms. Quit supporting gun manufacturers who stand in the way of any progress, etc and etc….

    As I said previously, you can't let perfect be the enemy of good. You've got to start somewhere and maybe the results won't be immediate. You start with something and you work from there.

    I was told in this thread that if I own guns, it’s a waste of time to write legislators.

    I don't really pay attention to what I buy, other than quality. I already support that other stuff.

    Do you actually believe any of that is remotely possible? I've got some nice beach front property for you in TN.

    Jesus, you guys make me ashamed to be American with all this "the problem is too big" whining. We landed on the moon. All that's needed is to actually want to make things better. When did people become so afraid of doing difficult things?

    Maybe you'd like to further expound on what Class 3 offers in terms of screening vs the current Form 4473 / NICS background check?

    It's really amazing. There are actual instances where it is working fine.

    OK, this I agree with.

    Yeah, a guy patrolling a school carrying a rifle is totally normal. I can't believe anyone thinks this is where we should be headed as a country. Jesus...

    NICS are done in about 15 min and apparently the shooter passed one. Finger printing can tie you to any crime that you might've committed. NICS doesn't do that. The waiting period is a deterrent.

    However, Im not naive enough to think that a person wouldn't buy a handgun and commit the same crime.

    It's where you are. Where you should be isn't reality.

    I guess we will see if that school has any incidents.

    The shooter encountered an armed resource officer before entering the building. Same with Parkland. SROs aren’t the deterrent you think they are.
