would have liked it even better if you had worked in "band of bubbas" somewhere.
I'll try harder next time. :-)
Obviously this line of thinking drives me nuts as I think it is not grounded in modern day reality.
Personally, I think school shootings is a serious threat to the 2nd amendment and anyone serious about wanting to preserve their right to arms should get engaged. If it keeps happening at some point, the majority is going to say enough is enough. I also think there are some serious points that could be part of a solution beyond additional gun controls that would be helpful.
Serious $$$ spent on studying what are the causal factors that cause young men to do this?
Once identified, are we serious about taking them on? I'll bet there are several points a conservative could gore the left with (and big tech) and barter on in terms of measures.
I think we all would admit one very unpleasant fact...there is a serious copy cat phenomenon with this particular form of violence. If we aren't going to do a news black out on these events maybe we do the opposite...widely publicize pictures of dead shooters with some super gross brain matter scattered around being even better. If there is audio of the shooter in pain from being wounded get that out there.
There's more I'm sure...but the thought is deglamorize and stigmatize this stuff to the maximum possible.
No questions asked regardless of age and mental capacity...the death penalty as a Federal crime.
Liability for video game manufactures if shooter games was deemed to be a factor
There's lots of things to be done
And as a gun owner...I have zero problem with 30 day waiting periods and extensive background checks for any and all gun purchases. (Yep you're going to bet put in a big gubment database...don't care. You are in several already.)
