    So strict they order their people to keep arms at home and be prepared to fight. Gun control is how you aim the weapon and how well you fire it.

    I have no objections to qualified school staff getting additional pay due to their added duties and responsibilities. I think it is working here in CA.

    Don't know that the adults are doing much of a job with these shootings.

    The children are the ones being shot at, so I support their right to boycott. . . . Those who insist that everything is fine should have no say in the matter.

    This is an education: it's an education in communication (public speaking), in society and social intervention, in government, politics, citizenship, logic and rhetoric. It's a great education.

    That girl who gave a speech the other day should run for congress.

    Well it's a laudible gesture but we all know it's doomed to be a waste of their time. As I've said a few times - the genie's out of the bottle and it's pie in the sky to believe that there's a way of getting it back in. Gun culture in the US is here to stay whether we like it or not.

    It angers me that ANYONE could consider that their right to own the most deadly classes of assault rifles justified the countless number of children slaughtered by these weapons, with the probability of many more lives lost, yet still have the gall to call themselves "prolife".

    It angers me that Democrats have duped millions of easily manipulable people into blaming guns instead of blaming evil.

    Man beats victim with blunt object -> blame the man.
    Man stabs victim with knife -> blame the man.
    Man runs over victim with car -> blame the man.
    Man makes pipe bomb, kills victims -> blame the man.
    Man makes pressure cooker bomb, kills victim -> blame the man.
    Man poisons victim -> blame the man.
    Man shoots victim -> blame the gun.

    Why?

    Because blunt objects, knives, cars, pipes, pressure cookers, and poisons don't have organizations behind them that donate to Republican candidates nor are they supported by Constitutional right.

    Two things Democrat politicians cant allow and so that's why people hate guns.

    Because Democrats ****ING TOLD THEM TO!

    Sure they can walk out as long as I get my tax money back for school costs during the time they arent there. No need to pay staff when the students arent there.

    Maybe they should concentrate on math, science, reading and writing, and stop concentrating on their stupid feelings, self esteem and demanding that their opinions be continually listened to, you know, the stuff that creates these little psych job shooters in the first place

    More SROs, hardening of entry points, new apps, and better identification of crazies to keep guns out of their hands.

    And that is far less control than Switzerland.
