Him who?
Then provide evidence to rebut it. Weâre listening.
Why is the Georgia shooting worse than this one?
Because Iâm not in charge?
WuWei: tnt:And also, a completely wrong reading of the 2A.
Whatâs the correct reading?
The government didnât have an army. They depended on militias. They wanted them to be armed when they needed them.
And they still do. Read the 2nd Amendment. It says so right there.
I can shoot âexpertâ drunk with a pirate patch over my dominant eye.
Apparently out-of-date knowledge.
Zero actual combat knowledge or training. Paper targets.
I can shoot âexpertâ drunk with a pirate patch over my dominant eye.
Every last Army NCO and officer has an expert marksman badge. Itâs freakinâ expected as one of the bare minimums!
Investigators said he was interviewed by law enforcement last year over online threats about committing a school shooting.
The FBI said local law enforcement had interviewed a 13-year-old subject and his father last year regarding online threats to commit a school shooting. Investigators said:
"The father stated he had hunting guns in the house, but the subject did not have unsupervised access to them. The subject denied making the threats online. Jackson County alerted local schools for continued monitoring of the subject."
If the gun used was his fatherâs, are the parents complicit?
Maybe. Was the gun used his dadâs? How did he gain access to it if it was? And what does Georgia law say about it?
Striker840:You ALWAYS ignore the true problemâŚlet me give you a small freakin hintâŚwhat has changed in the last 30 years?
Why did we not have these types of tragedies in the 80âs?
Why now?We had them. Not as many, but still a lot.
You know when we had the fewest in recent history? When we had an assault weapons ban.
We also had three strikes laws and stricter sentencing then. Do-gooders managed to do away with both.
Never mind that there was never really a ban on âassault weapons.â It was a ban on cosmetic features on guns.
Smyrna:If the gun used was his fatherâs, are the parents complicit?
yes.
Based on what evidence?
Impenitent:why stop there? what about auto accidents in cars that belong to someone else?
The ownerâs insurance covers the accident.
Insurance does not cover criminal acts.
coolidge:The problem with that is we have always had guns. The rise in social media is oddly comparable to the rise in school shootings. Not saying it is solely the problem but i feel there is enough evidence to give it a look. What about single parent homes? I kind of find that difficult because in the 80s us as kids self regulated ourselves. Both parents working and we were usually hanging out wirh friends.
I do know the columbine shooters did leave messages saying they wanted to be a blue print for future school shootings. Is this the result?When I was in high school ( 68-71) kids drove pickups to school with gun racks in them and guns in the gun racks.
They would go hunting on the way home.
Nobody shot anybody and nobody bothered anybody elseâs guns.
So what has changed??
The guns have always been there but not the shootings.
Very clearly, society has changed.
Munimula1:due to unregulated guns
What?
Oooh ⌠I missed that. Câmon @Munimula1, explain that please.
WuWei: tnt:The government didnât have an army. They depended on militias. They wanted them to be armed when they needed them.
It says âthe right of the militia to keep and bear armsâŚâ?
They didnât want to buy the guns the people in the militia needed when they called them up.
I love it when you make â â â â up. Very entertaining.
Tguns:And we know why. Itâs more convenient for these servile muppets to ask their masters to strip them of the rights others enjoy than it is to look at the moral decline created by the ideals they champion.
Nah, some people just donât want kids to get shot in classrooms.
Do the people want the government to violate the Constitution?
By the way, there is nothing about social rights in the Constitution. Maybe you ought to take a look in that direction and see if you can come up with something to fix the problem.
Tguns: tnt:Nah, some people just donât want kids to get shot in classrooms.
If that were true, those people would be asking their âleadersâ for actual solutions rather then parroting their failed policies.
The easiest solutions to stopping people from shooting people with guns is to make it harder for them to get a gun.
It is way easier than, watching them for signs of trouble, reading their notebook and evaluating their mental state, monitoring their online posts and interviewing their friendsâŚ
Iâm all for investing more in mental health, but thatâs not gonna catch everyone, It canât. Itâs also borderline unconstitutional, asking government agencies to Minority Report kidsâŚ
But no one wants to restrict access to guns, soâŚitâs pointless.
âHarder to get a gunâ ⌠Wouldnât that be an infringement?
In fact, it is much harder to get a gun today than it used to be when mass school shootings were inconceivable. I bought my first gun, a Remington 700 30:06, at a sporting goods store when I was 16 with nothing more than my older brother telling the clerk âthis is my little brotherâ as my ID. No questions and no paperwork, just a quick and easy cash transaction.
Lee Harvey Oswald used a Carcano (not the smoothest bolt action in the world by any means) and got off multiple aimed shots in quick succession. It was actually sort of impressive. Horrifying but impressive.
If the Marines do one thing right, itâs teach people how to shoot.
I think itâs the other way around. Only good shooters can become Marines.
In May of 2023 the FBI investigates the shooter for making threats of shooting up a school, then in December his father buys him a rifle for Christmas?
Yea, he should probably lawyer up.
The father of the mass shooting suspect accused of killing four people at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, told investigators this week he had purchased the gun used in the killings as a holiday present for his son in December 2023, according to two law enforcement sources with direct knowledge of the investigation.

Striker840:The gun grabbers ALWAYS avoid that question when I ask it. They always want to blame the easy things like firearms. They NEVER want to look at society itself.
And we know why. Itâs more convenient for these servile muppets to ask their masters to strip them of the rights others enjoy than it is to look at the moral decline created by the ideals they champion.
EXACTLY!!!
