Another school shooting

[nicname]

I know we all have our opinions on gun control, rights, the treatment of mental illness, but we can all agree that this is horrible, terrible and it tears my heart out.  I spent much of the day arguing/ debating over this stuff and then I saw this picture.



I straight broke-down and started crying.  I've got tears in my eyes typing this.  God bless those kids and their families.

This hurts my heart.

I don't have time to read the last 10 pages of the thread, but apparently some genius in my state legislature introduced/going to introduce some law to get more guns inside schools and into teachers hands. 

Tonight my wife, who teaches 7th grade, had bunco with 11 other teachers.  She just got home and said this was discussed.  When 1 teacher told the other 11, all of them gave the same "you've got to be rough ridin' kidding me, that's a horrible idea" response.

"I'd take a welt for that dude" just doesn't have the same ring to it.

I'll put a welt in your ass" may have the wrong connotations

what a world that would be.

i remember reading something once, about how people could take a lesson from watching giraffes fight.  how they whip their necks at each other and smash each other in these ultra violent displays of masculinity for dominance and what not.  typical animal stuff, really.  but giraffes' horns are covered in velvet to make sure they don't hurt each other so badly.  i think it was vonnegut.  isn't that a nice concept?

Better than "today 20 children were shot"

It's not just a horrible idea, it's a disgustingly naive and moronic idea.

Teachers with guns.  Say that several times, and you'll shake your head at how stupid it even sounds coming out of your mouth.

And I'm getting sick and tired of people saying, "knee jerk reaction".

How many school shootings need to happen?  Aurora.  Oak Creek.  Oregon.  Topeka.

No one needs an assault rifle.  No one.  The answer to gun violence in this country is not "more guns".  The answer to school shootings isn't arming teachers.  The answer isn't declaring everyone mentally ill so they can't get a gun.

The answer is less guns.  If people think that if giving up guns puts them at risk of their government taking away their rights and instituting a police state, they should have thought about that before electing a bunch of public officials that feel it's okay to spend a trillion dollars a year on the military.

I'm ranting, but I'm just tired of seeing people on TV trying to defend assault rifles and talking about adding more guns to all situations as a deterrent.  This isn't ****ing Tombstone.  Get rid of the freaking assault rifles.  If they don't give them up, throw them in jail.

It worked in Australia.  It can work here.

I know we all have our opinions on gun control, rights, the treatment of mental illness, but we can all agree that this is horrible, terrible and it tears my heart out.  I spent much of the day arguing/ debating over this stuff and then I saw this picture.



I straight broke-down and started crying.  I've got tears in my eyes typing this.  God bless those kids and their families.

This hurts my heart.

Not a single one of those twenty kids had less than three gunshot wounds.

That's why I'm angry.  These kids weren't killed.  They were slaughtered.  With legally purchased guns.

Really a reminder to appreciate your life and the people in it because some rough ridin' bad person can take it away in an instant.

the killer in topeka walked up to the bodies and put 11 or 12 bullets in for good measure. the judge was legally able to "recommend that he not possess guns" after an earlier run in with the law.

Like I said earlier I believe this event will lead to real reforms.  and it might not even have to get political if a esque group is organized and if it gets political, control proponents are in position to call the nra baby killers.

The bastard used handguns in the school, he kept his assault rifle in his car. Handgun bans are a must a long with assault rifle bans.

I thought he did all the killing with the assault rifle and he left a shotgun in the car.

I don't know how you possibly lasted on kstatefans so long.  You're over the head of most of the posters on this site.

Originally read he left the assault rifle in the car. Guess not. Still most gun related fatalities are related to handguns. Anything larger than a .22 caliber hand gun is meant to kill and not for self protection.

[Gooch]

Most teachers are anti-gun liberals anyway, so I don't see that as a viable deterrent.

Not the ones I know.

Good god I can't imagine going back now. You guys should have a rubber bullet botmod of TexasCat here just so people appreciate the place.
