What’s your solution, H.E.R? Yes, people targeting schools and soft targets with large unarmed crowds are a problem. What realistic laws would have stopped this? It’s terrorism. You know that the 2nd amendment won’t be repealed any time soon. Confiscation is unrealistic and won’t work. What would you do? I personally think we should hire vets or retired police to guard schools. Not useless security guards but trained people ready and willing to die for these kids protection, it’s unfortunate but it’s the only realistic way to deal with this imo.

Security guards aren't enough. The one in Parkland ran away and the one in Santa Fe was shot. I've stated before in this very thread I'm actually a 2nd Amendment supporter even if it doesn't seem like it right away. I do believe an American citizen has a right to defend his home and anyone trespassing should be at risk of getting shot. That militia crap though? Unless you're arming citizens with missiles and assault rifles, you're not taking down any army anytime soon nor do I believe any American citizen should be armed enough to do so.

So what do I propose so far? Stricter FEDERAL laws. More risk for illegal sellers ups their prices and hopefully slows down sales. Definitely more thorough background checks for any firearms purchases. REALLY don't understand Trump making it legal for people with mental disorders to purchase guns. Lesser magazine sizes for all states. I'd also introduce a nice sizable bullet tax for everyone except hunters who hunt solely for food. I'd also make it mandatory to buy a safe for anyone with a firearm that must be checked annually. I'd also begin charging the last legal owner of guns of mass shootings with manslaughter if those guns were stolen. Is it really too much to ask gun owners to be more responsible with their firearms?

then you do not understand the second amendment... the purpose of it was always to provide a means of defense for citizens from an oppressive tyrannical government... its how the country was formed to begin with after all

that you call the idea of a militia "crap" while at the same time claiming that you advocate for the 2nd amendment is frighteningly ignorant

 

  "Would people kill with more guns if there were a considerable less amount of guns in America? Hello, logic."

someone apparently needs to brush up on what saturation means

 

"By some counts, we're averaging a school shooting a week in 2018."

sure... counts including suicides right? because i suppose if someone had the resolve to blow their brains out they wouldn't just use some other method if they didn't have a gun

 

"If it's a problem, please introduce any of your thoughts to fixing them."

as i typed its an existential problem... asking me that is like asking me to solve the problem of death

its a stupid question

what is your solution to the mass stabbings in china? or does it suddenly not matter when its knives instead of guns?
