School shooting game created by parents of victim looks to promote gun reform

So how does a private citizen with a rifle make a dent?!? You’re grasping at straws and you know it…. Continue to troll if you want, but there is no argument in your favor here…..

They have been false posting for some time. I gave in when this user renamed weapons as self defense tools as a way not to address the rest of what I said, so disingenuous.

This isn't something that can be talked about with some people. There is a playbook of parrot responses, and even if that response doesn't make sense in context it doesn't matter because they don't have to actually think about any of what was said. It's a form of mental dishonesty.

Change is slow slow but sure, sanity will prevail, eventually.

Mechanised armies require supplies, in particular, fuel and ammunition which can be attacked with small arms.

To get to the point, the main argument in favor of the second amendment is to protect people like me from people like you.

They tend to guard these - with tanks… they can be attacked with small arms… but not successfully… that only works in movies.

You have been moving the goalposts of your argument since your first post… I call troll…

The main argument was always there, the game of people vs military was a pointless but amusing side argument.
I was referring to transporting supplies from place to place, I suggest doing research on the work of partisans/saboteurs during WW2.

The main argument was “why do we need guns”.
You have moved the goalposts consistently as you lose each side argument…
And the technology of the military during WW2 was FAR different than now… want to try again?

So the solution is more guns and vigilante style shooting the shooter(s) before they rake up the kill count as opposed to try and preventing it?

And who are these good people you speak of that bring firearms into schools?

Definitely a very uniquely American way of thinking to combat a very uniquely American problem.

I would guess that the rest of the world doesn't have this problem due to stricter gunlaws*. At least the British just stab eachother, greatly limits the amount of damage that can be done.
Looking at what works elsewhere seems like the smart thing to do.

*There is countries with high rates of gun ownership and without school shootings. This being due to most of the ownership being for hunting rather than self-defence and stricter regulations.
Countries where students don't hide under their table when a car exhaust backfires and shooting drills aren't part of the curriculum. It's not even something anyone thinks about.

Of course, you try to prevent it.

The point is the solution to bad or crazy people with guns is NOT to take guns away from good people.

It's an even worse solution to publicly announce that you have taken guns away from the good people so that bad people know they will have an extreme advantage in the "gun free zone".

Just merely not banning it and proudly announcing the ban goes a long way. A bad person has to at least consider that someone might shoot back. The statistics back this up as 97% of school shooting happen in "gun free zones".

The good people would be the teachers and staff - IF they so choose.

Most of the people who legally carry in the US are current or former police or military and their families. You'd be surprised how many retired military go into teaching. (Military pension makes up for the bad teaching pay). You've watched too many TV shows if you instantly think vigilante when someone has a gun.

The lie anti-gun politicians tell is that one more law making something already illegal even more illegal will solve the problem. Laws aren't spells. They don't magically fix problems. But the need for one more law to really fix it means you need to vote me in one more time.

Curious: how many schools aren’t in “gun free zones”.

Cause 100% of the shreddies I eat don’t contain broccoli…

Depends on the state. I live in a state where teachers can conceal carry. Other states it's gun-free. Other states it's a middle ground. I'm not sure of the exact % of each but we have a mix of all three.
