Well in fact if you locked up all males under 30, you'd just about end all street crime, and certainly all of these school shootings.
A teacher at a high school in California has been praised by police for averting a serious shooting incident. The teacher and a campus supervisor talked a gunman into putting down his weapon after he had shot and injured one pupil at Taft Union High School. Police said the gunman had enough ammunition to kill many people. The injured student was taken to hospital in an air ambulance and is in a critical condition. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-20975608#TWEET516293
And had he not put his weapon down he could have killed many people, and a ban on "assault" weapons would have made no difference here.
This isn't about stopping shootings. This is about controlling the law-abiding citizens. The Left wants your 2nd amendment veto power.
Its a two step process: 1) ban "assault" weapons.. when that doesn't work, blame handguns 2) ban "hand guns".. when that doesn't work 3) it doesn't matter; liberals,progressives smile because they were able to take away 2nd amendment rights and create a nation that mimics those of Chicago... It JUST makes them feel happy they got rid of "evil" firearms...regardless if they disarmed the public against criminals who don't follow the laws. regardless if there's an increase in violent crime like those of Britain. Sneaky, but that's their plan.
That's not something you can turn on and off. - - - Updated - - - But, but, it was an assault shotgun.
Such is the new normal crafted by progressive liberalism. - - - Updated - - - That way the crime rate can mirror the inside of a Soviet Gulag.
So liberal-like to pick on one incident and use it to paint all such incidents with the same broad brush in order to advance nothing more than a political agenda.
The like was a mistake http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/high-school-shooting-taft-california-183012601.html
Armed guards don't work.. Quick someone tell the secret service..... They are wasting money and creating a security risk for Obama's kids. They need to fix it.. Take the security guards out from the school.. Think of the children!!! http://now.msn.com/obama-daughters-attend-school-with-11-armed-guards - - - Updated - - -
Enough talking. Its time for quick emotional actions without logical thought. Please think of the children. Obama's kids are in danger -- there are over 11 ARMED guards at her school... 11..... As this new school shooting shows, its not safe to have armed guards... BUT 11 armed guards... Thats INSANE!!!! will someone tell the president about this and the mortal danger his kids are in... THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!!! We need quick emotionally charged actions based on gut feelings to save these innocent children. How many more children must die!!
I think you've helped us to make an argument for armed teachers and that banning "assault" rifles won't stop school shootings.
So, the government can get a free pass to become a dictatorship, and to make crime skyrocket? No thanks.
You tell me. You are the one declaring failure. What if a guard stops the next one? What will you do?
Well say for instance, when are we gonna bring our boys home from Afghanistan to be redeployed to Afghanistan USA ?
Please note that the only "crazies" who are killing others are those who own guns. Don't tell me that you believe that EVERYONE who is crazy owns a gun? Well. . .then again. . .!???
