These men don't play violent video games. :O:

Yep. Alarming amount of these mass shootings happen in the US, I remember
seeing a map that listed all the mass shootings from the past 50 years or something like
that and large majority of them had happened in the US. :dead:
(I have no idea if said map was just propaganda or fact, though)

Like it's been mentioned number of times, mental health care would imho be the way to go.
Of course, it wont completely eliminate the problem, but *maybe* it would
help at least in some cases. :hmmm:

On the mental healthcare deal....by and large I think pills are prescribed(in the US) a bit to freely and those that do take the pills to keep them "level" my not be keeping a regular schedule in taking the pill or possibly can not afford the pills in the first place.

That all sounds a lot like Skybirds take on Freedom from Religion. What other Constitutional rights would you deny people when in proximity to your children? Freedom of speech, right to trial by jury? What?

Now if only criminals followed the rules eh?

First off where does it say I don't? Secondly the BoR says citizens have the right to Keep and BEAR arms. Now where does it say "...except for places where anyone might object"?

This might be more objective:

Yeah, I've seen that mentioned about US. But, I dont live there so I obviously,
cant say how it really is.

Think this was what I was remembering:

Pretty sure all those can be verified, but like I said, I haven't done so.

The pill pushing for issues is usually the first answer to the question. Some kids it does help. Part of the problem is parents keeping up with the pills. Perhaps the pills are not affordable. On the surface, this is what I see. I have not really gone into in any detail. However, having two kids in school conversations come up concerning certain students, etc.

Where common sense can be employed. You cannot bring firearms on an airplane. You cannot bring firearms into a legislative building. You cannot bring firearms into a school.

That is a false argument. Criminals do not follow laws, so citizens are not obligated to adhere to them either.

See first argument. Common sense rules apply.

My brother used to eat anti-deps, and he said it helped, but in the long run, he
wasnt comfortable with the idea and how the pills made him feel. Now, he is doing
OK without pills, he got to talk to someone other than his family, someone "neutral", seemed to help.

Sometimes a counselor is the best route to take. Offers a non-judgemental ear.

Teachers allowed guns? I wouldn't even let my future kids step foot on a gun owner's property, let alone a school where the teachers have guns.

Precisely. If I have something that's on my mind, I dont usually call my mom or dad about it, I talk it out with my friends. Somehow just easier to talk to them. :hmmm:

Teachers... with guns... :o

"Imagines his old java programming ex marine Vietnam vet teacher with a rifle teaching class."

Well, It would have made Java interesting.

I googled and found this:

School would be something like this perhaps?

"Hilarious scene from the comedy "Back To School" (1986)"

I dont get it. :hmm2:

Just a teacher on the edge...does he need a gun?

Sure you can. Bunch of friends of mine did that just a couple months ago.

Sure you can. Texas even lets concealed carry license holders to go around metal detectors.

True according to many state laws but that only affects those who don't have murder on their mind. A better way to say it is only potential victims cannot bring firearms into a school.

Not its not. Citizens are obligated to follow the law or they become criminals. That's like saying Criminals murder so citizens can too.

Common sense to me is the Newtown Principal and those kids might be alive today if even just one teacher or administrator was allowed to exercise their constitutional rights to use a firearm for self defense. Gun Free Zones, and attitudes like yours, created the situation that allowed those people to be killed.

What over blown horse hockey!:haha:
