What kind of society have we created that so many people are more eager to protect the right to own a military style assault weapon than to do everything possible to protect the life of a child? America’s collective gun fetish IS a mental health issue.

The weapons used in the most recent school shootings are in fact not military style. The military does not use A.R. 15‘s. The A.R. 15 is manufactured and sold to the public sector as a “defense“ weapon. You should do more research.

Because I collect guns that makes me a bad person. I think taking guns from people like me will solve nothing

Everything possible includes securing the facilities our children are mandated to spend the majority of their time in so they are no longer a soft target. What kind of society do we live in if we don't start with that? Schools should be as hard a target as an airport.

The levels of stress , anxiety, hopelessness, and despair in this country are a mental health crisis and they stem from greed and bad government!

You must be 1%… ignored or buried yer head as the riots, looting, racist cops and targeted political attacks , restrictive lockdowns forced the majority to fend for themselves Pointer. The Bill of Rights is a counterbalance to the govts monopoly on violence

If we go deeper, we find a fear driven population held in this state of consciousness through poor education and a system that does not work for them… no trust, no hope… just basic primal survival mode.

I have never needed a gun in my entire life. Gun ownership is vastly over rated.

Secure the border. Keep violent criminals locked up. Stop threatening to take away guns from lawful citizens. Minimize gun free zones. Become part of the solution. We will then have less need for guns.

Democrats cry out for abortion, the killing of millions of babies but when they are killed by a gun the liberal media shines a light on it saying guns are the problem. No its evil people like the Democrats having abortions.

Those children were killed by human error, not guns. First a craze shooter, then a gross incompetence by the officers that failed to breach that classroom.
