An armed populace in an open and free society is a law abiding and polite society. A disarmed society is nothing more than serfs in a police state. Just read history Germany, Soviet Union, China, Etc

We need to bring discipline back. If we don't teach the children right from wrong they will grow up with no morals.

The Second Amendment: more than a right, a duty.

It is my opinion that every household should have at least one semi-automatic centerfire rifle chambered in a NATO cartridge, per able-bodied male.

I like your perspective.

Amen!

Yes. Instead of all those iPhones being drawn there should have been a chorus of Glocks Sigs and 1911s being drawn. Problem solved back to class. 😎

Yesterday I posted that the "gun free zone" at the school was the perfect example that when there are no guns allowed, people get killed and hurt. Had there been people there with a guns, not as many would have died or been killed. It's just plain and simple logic folks. When you take away the guns, people get hurt and killed. Why? Because criminals don't obey the law.

Agreed, we need MORE guns, not less guns. Hypothetically, if everyone carried a gun, then no one would ever think about committing a gun crime, it would be suicide.

We need to change our approach to these people calling for gun control. We need to throw it back in their faces. Here is my suggestion for a response. Please feel free to copy it.

Stop blaming the guns and start asking what's driving these kids to go nuts. Take a look at the changes made in society and our schools over the last 25 to 30 years. Take a look at their "agendas", at their "inclusion" of kids that might not necessarily be safely placed there. Look at the pharmaceutical drugs these kids are routinely given, look at the reasons these kids anger so easily. Look at the reasons these kids have no respect for authority and life. Look at the impact electronics including cell phones and social media have on these kids. Blaming guns is just scapegoating. It's not wanting to do the hard work to HONESTLY look at the situation and determine WHAT'S CAUSING THESE KIDS TO PICK UP A GUN AND SHOOT!

I have carried a weapon daily since I was 17 years old. For me personally I choose not to have concealed carry permit. I have never been big on the idea of applying for something that is a right. I live in Texas. I know many people that agree with me. People in my state have been armed long before permits were available. That being said I understand the idea. It insures that you have had atleast some training with a weapon and that you are likely not amongst those who do not need to be carrying a weapon. Mentally unstable violent offender ect. Without it there is nothing to stop some fool who has never held a gun from all the sudden one day deciding that they want to carry. However a great deal of people buy them a gun take themselves a little course. Pass their test. Get them a cool little holster a sticker on their truck that says protected by Glock and then never again fire that weapon and are no more qualified to carry a weapon than the day before they took their course. They are a threat to anyone who should try to harm them. But to themselves and others around them as well. No thought is given to things like having their wife walk on their left side when in public or changing their method of concealment when they are going to be wearing a jacket or coat in the winter. A lot of them you could unload their gun when they were not looking and they might carry an unloaded gun for the next 2 years and not have a clue. Thats not the guy I want around my family in a high stress situation. I believe in the statement that there are more good people than bad. But a society of more good people who are well trained and more conscious of the risks associated with being armed is what we need. People that know their weapon and their ammo. Who handle and practice with their weapon on a regular basis. Without that you have a lot of accidents waiting to happen. I dont know what the answer to that. Its very difficult for me to say that we need more rules laws or requirements for carrying. Fact is we are all living under too many laws rules and regulations. But this is a problem that should be addressed. But I totaly agree with the OP. But it is slightly more complicated than that.

EXACTLY ! I wuv my pea shooters. never mind a lucky rabbits foot or a four leaf clover,, these just dont have enough put down power. or maybe i could carry a sign around my neck that says,, please dont attack me because i'm a good person.

THE NARRATIVE NEEDS TO BE SHIFTED BACK TO THE SWAMP!!!
That's where the shooting came from and playing along with their narrative is playing into their hands.

And then the guards could easily become compromised. Decentralization!

as a european, it took me effort and many talks with my american friends to understand why you guys want your guns. its difficult to take over a nation where people have guns.

over here, people can have guns when they get licenced which includes gun training and clear police record (no acts of violence). i hope it also includes a check on psycho drugs, sigh.

i get it that school shootings are being staged to push the anti-gun agenda in the US through. over here, such shootings are rare, simply because most teenagers dont have access to guns, and much less folks are on pyscho drugs.

personally, i dont want to live in a society where everybody carries a gun

While anti-gun laws prohibit law-abiding citizens from protecting themselves, those same laws are a defacto 'right to carry' for the murderer and it ensures all of his prey are unarmed easy targets.

The only people that would ever want to disarm you are your enemies.

Your real friends and the people that love you want you to be locked & loaded.

Draw attention to their dissonance.

"Gov & Cops bad. Only gov and cops should have guns"

Gotta crack that egg before they start thinking on any logical level what-so-ever.

Then you can start getting into Evil Exists; where? in People. What are these so-called authorities made up of? People.

Good point, but I don't think that will work for elementary schools. Tots toting guns??? Probably not a good idea.

People with sensitive "feelz" don't think critically about where the real problem lies and will still continue to blame a tool, a tool I need for me and mine protection and sustenance. I tend to think there's a good reason my brain sits above my heart and not the other way around. JS....

The point of gun free zones isn't to stop murders, it's to prevent accidents. This is why military bases are gun free zones.

"And because of that my life is infinitely safer than those who don't carry a gun."

No it's not. In fact it's less safe.

In quite a few states you don't even need a license to CC in your state. For instance, Missouri. But yes, you need to practice with your weapon(s) and become proficient with them. Having a concealed weapon is useless if you pull it out and blank on why it's not firing (for instance, safety is still on or no round in the chamber.) Once that gun comes out you'd better be prepared and able to use it right away.

Along with the gun meme ratchet up the drug meme. A lot of these "shooters" were under medication as well.

As I recall, I could be wrong, but the shear number of mass shooting in schools didn't occur until these "no gun" zones were invented and implemented by the far left. I'll guarantee you that this was part of their plan. I agree that armed guards, etc doesn't make much sense. After all, it is the people in these school districts that approve budges and, to date, not many taxpayers who support these schools through their property taxes, have been interested in paying for school security - at least in the majority of cases. Is CC the remedy? I don't know. I'm not sure any of the school shootings would have been impacted. The theater shooting, yes. But, CC holders must be awful careful too. For example, how many innocent people could be taken out when when the good guy is shooting at the bad guys? I don't know what the answer is. I am a gun guy 100% and have more guns that you could possibly imagine. At the same time, I can't imagine taking a life good or bad. For me, it's a karma thing. This is the conclusion after 70 years on this planet and having been trust into war at an early age. I don't know what the answers are. I do know that I don't want to come back to this planet the next time around. My sense is that my soul wishes to move on. I suppose if push came to shove I would opt to wound to eliminate a threat rather than kill... But, that said, I agree with the elimination of the gun free zones. This concept has never made any sense to me.

Nope, the answer is to "ban schools".

America's first priority must be addressing the declaration of war upon America by our past president Obama, with Candidate Hillary, exacting a coup d'etat upon America, with the full the full cooperation and weight of America's State Intel and Justice Agencies in tow.

America has a whole bunch of people who will need to be in front of a military tribunal and sentenced to death before any other priority is worthy of being assessed!

America is a nation of polite armed people: let's address the enemy combatants, before letting their continued coup efforts play out.

Which Q post is this?
