0 Days Since Last Shooting: But the Second Amendment!

Re: 0 Days Since Last Shooting: But the Second Amendment!

And why are these always white boys? When's the last time a person of color shot up a school?


I'm sure it's happened, but I can't recall right off.

Admittedly rambling train of thought here: same reason most serial killers are white males, aged 30-40, or whatever the stat is? I dunno.

Yes, 10 seconds.

Colored boys are locked up before they get their hands on guns

Not saying he shouldn't be punished. Looking to the future to ID people like him and prevent situations like this. What IF, just IF, someone talked to him, he got some treatment, whatever, and he decided NOT to shoot up the school because he developed a different attitude?

You know you and the rest of the "tax cut" crowd don't want to pay for mental health services, right? Haven't for over 30 years now.

Put your money, and your vote, where your mouth is.

I'm fine with that.

Re: 0 Days Since Last Shooting: But the Second Amendment!

This is the problem today where little children are raised since birth with parents telling them they are a precious little diamond, unique in the world, and everything they do is perfect. Once they get to an age where they start discovering that they aren't special, they have people telling them no, or they face obstacles and challenges, they discover they're just a nameless, faceless 1 among millions, then they need to step up.


Some do, and make the choices that they need to do to succeed in the world on their own merits. Some retreat into self-medication, with drugs and alcohol. Others lash out violently.

Doesn't that fit in with everything Brent has been saying on this topic?

What about Asians? Meskins? Don't see any of them shooting up schools.

I'm sure they get bullied just as much as little white boy does. However, I'm only expected to have to listen to little white boy, and "his problems"

Probably. I’m sure a couple trips a year to Amsterdam would have mellowed this guy out.

Viva Nevada?

No, he's saying we have to listen to and coddle the little protected precious jewel whenever their feefees get ruffled. That way, they won't go out and start shooting up schools.

That is an extreme view of what I'm saying. Most kids just have kid problems. They don't put up Nazi propaganda, Born To Kill shirts, and have other students flat out say "he was bullied." I will take an educated guess that as this story continues, there will be other warning signs that were ignored.

Not just that. We have to coddle the parents who should have been WAY WAY WAY more responsible in this case. After all, they didn't know their kid was going to blow up.

It is still a user problem.

It is a user and weapon problem - it takes both. We'll work on the weapons side (because we have solutions) and you work on the user side (and don't bankrupt us).

Re: 0 Days Since Last Shooting: But the Second Amendment!

What good is your brother's gun gonna do him in that case? All locked up like that?

They are called biometric gun safes. They unlock as simply and easily as your iPhone7 did: with just a fingerprint ... the correct fingerprint.

One of my XDMs is in the bio on the side of my bed; the other is in the tumbler vault elsewhere in the abode. It's my fingerprint or a combo (that only I know).

And where was dad when all this was going on?

If the dad left the gun lying around, I wholeheartedly agree; also, probably pay more attention to your kid.

I'm sure the safes open quickly. It's more the waking up out of a deep sleep part. 10 seconds. Yeah, right.

Believe me, a strange noise in the middle of the night wakes my arse up instantly, red alert, and I am a heavy sleeper. "Normal" noise (thunderstorms, car alarm, etc) do nothing.

That's why you have pets.
Something unusual starts to happen, even just in the yard, mine go active.
I've seen deer walk through my yard because a pet tore through the house to look out a window.

Heck, one clued me in to a plumbing problem in the basement (pin-hole leak in a solder joint above the water heater).
