Aw, noice. Go ahead and demonise yet more people. Apparently not enough violence in schools, let’s just drum up that little bit extra resentment against teachers and sharpen up those pitchforks. I mean what could go wrong?

I don't recall having to pass a NICS check to buy a pool either.

What kind of work is done with an AR-15? As near as I remember, they were specifically designed originally as a tool for killing the maximum number of people in the minimum amount of time.

But you knew that already.
I did not know about your involvement, no.

As for going about their normal business without the fear of being murdered then one needs to address the actual problem and that is murderers. Or nutters actually.

Again, then do something about the nutters. The 'adult toys' do not go to the schools by themselves.

I don't recall gun just getting up on its own and going to the mall and shooting people.

I have heard of people driving to the mall and shooting people.

So what is the real cause of a mall shooting, the gun, the car or the nutter?

There are four factor in any shooting; a nutter, a gun, a car and a soft target. Don't forget the soft target.

The common denominator in any mass killing - did I say killing instead of shooting? - is a nutter. Be it a nutter with a gun, a car or any other means of destruction, it is the nutter that does it, every single time without fail.

Target the nutters and leave law abiding folks alone. Sure, harden the soft points but for heavens sake, go after the nutters. Go after the perpetrators.

How does one stamp out swimming pool drownings? Abolish swimming pools? No, take safety precautions. Eliminate unsupervised child access to the water.

Do the same for school shooters. Eliminate their access to schools and guns, like by locking them up and making them unfit to pass the background check and keeping school access locked.

Has anyone noticed that during the days of gun openness and acceptance and school gun safety training, there were no school shootings?

Anger management.

I mean, that is what marksmanship is in one approach (just as judo is, in one approach, a method of physical training). The calming of the mind over the body to put rounds on target.

As far as your description goes, that's the M-16 you are talking about.....not the AR-15.

Some people are essentially demons.

Sexualizing young children in any way reeks of things demonic.

If the horns fit,...

The society you enjoy, the one that protects children, wouldn't exist without those "toys".

The reason school shootings take place is because we fail some of those male children and by age 18 they become psychotic monsters.

There has been a war on males in this country for about half a century.

It has metastasized to the point that we now refer to masculinity as "toxic."

We could have used some toxic masculinity on the day of the Uvalde attack when dozens of well-armed police officers, already wearing body armor, refused to enter the school and engage the son of a *****.

Of course, having people with guns in the school before one of these psychos goes off (police officers, retired military, etc.) would teach children that the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun and the left, no matter how many kids die, just won't have that.
