Gun Clueless Liberals Are Getting Kids Killed- Supporting Gun Free Zones

[Harpy Eagle]

This is like being a kid in a large school with thousands and thousands of students. Progs blame everyone in the whole school for one bad kid.

Yet this is what you Cons are doing now. you are blaming the gun free zones even though there are literally 10s of thousands of them around the country and 99% of them have not had any shootings

The sad fact is that no single measure or idea is going to stop gun violence and mass shootings in schools, churches, and other places. Democrats talk about Universal Background Checks, but we've seen cases where the shooters got guns anyway. You could ban assault weapons, but the number of gun violence cases with assault weapons is actually quite small, 253 out of almost 104k. (Numbers from Mother Jones’s database of mass shootings, defined as shootings involving three or more fatalities, shows that between 2007 and 2017.)

The assumption is that absent the future purchase of assault weapons, the number of mass shooting homicides will decline, but there's no proof of that. From what I can tell the studies on the last assault weapons ban (1197-2004) is mixed and inconclusive. And people who already own an assault weapon are not going to give it up, it would be an unconstitutional law if the gov't required confiscation.

Which leaves gun free zones. If I was a terrorist or a mentally ill person, what better target to kill as many as possible before I am stopped? That's the point for these people right? To get my name on the front page of every newspaper in the country? I have seen no statistics on this, but I'd bet money that the number of home break-ins is probably a lot less for houses where a security sign is in the window.

A lot of the problem with background checks aren’t with the check itself. A lot of times, somebody at some point didn’t update databases or just didn’t bother informing anybody about anything they found. If people would stay on top of paperwork, a lot of things would be caught.

The shootings that do happen occur in advertised gun free zones. They don’t happen at police stations .
It’s madness to advertise to mental and emotional defectives that no one here is armed.

But we don't know.

For all we know there have been four thousand potential shooters that were going to shoot up a school or building but when they saw the gun free sign on the door they turned around and went home. After all they didn't want to break the law or go against the wishes of the building occupants.

I think these liberals actually believe it.

Other Countries Had Mass Shootings. Then They Changed Their Gun Laws. (Published 2022)

Britain, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Norway: All had a culture of gun ownership, and all tightened restrictions anyway. Their violence statistics now diverge sharply from those of the U.S.

And none of those countries have that pesky constitution that guarantees one the right to keep and bear arms.

Apples to brake shoes comparison.

So you continue to demand multiple guns and unlimited ammunition. Do you care about these school shootings at all? How about movie theaters, churches and grocery stores?

Paperwork is boring

Civil servants often get bored easily

That school in TX did NOT have police present...

Well, actually, it looks like police WERE present..for the first hour that the gunman was on his rampage.
That "good guy" with a gun theory again..please?

Yeah..these "pesky" countries for the most part have standards of living that are at or above ours. Healthcare for all. Equitable tax systems. Give a shit about the future for the environment.
And..no mass shootings and low gun violence to boot...who'da thunk? All the while being just as free as our....gun loving culture.

How them "brake shoes" tasting again?

 

[Rambunctious]

I wonder how many security cameras and security guards we could have in our schools with the 200 billion in cash and weapons the swamp sent to Ukraine....

The door was made of steel and opened outward... Cops were shot trying to get in so can we stop the BS and do what adults would do?... And that is to make schools as impenetrable and secure as a state house or federal building....

America first dummy.... How far will you go to help them?... WW3????

They happen where there are a lot of people in a small space so they can maximize the damage

No..they weren't. Sigh..and yikes.just stop.

You psycho leftists and Xian haters have won your culture war, and now you're whining about the results o your hate fests and worship of mentally ill deviants and sociopaths.

MYTH: 98% of Mass Shootings Occur in Gun-Free Zones - GVPedia

FACT: Twelve to thirteen percent of mass shootings occur where guns are prohibited.

www.gvpedia.org

Summary:

• Researcher John Lott claimed that 98% or more of mass shootings from 1950 to the present occurred in gun-free zones.
• Lott’s false claim is based on a basic error. For the period 1977–1997, Lott counts each individual mass shooting death as an entire mass shooting incident.
• Even after Lott corrected his mistake, he made a new claim that 94% of mass shootings occurred in gun-free places, which is also based on flawed data and contradicts other research that concludes that 12% to 13% of mass shootings occur where guns are prohibited.

BULLSHIT

Another lying leftist "fact checker".

You have to have shit for brains to believe these lying scumbags.

 

[scruffy]

See the article earlier in the thread that I linked.
Countries with tough gun control don't have near the level of death and violence we have.

Again, you are deflecting.

BULLSHIT

More lies from the leftards.

Not surprised.

 

[Godboy]

Teachers in Texas law, can have weapons as well..... Didn't stop this tragedy, nor did armed guards, or the armed police, stop it. Nor did active shooter training and drills instituted in Texas, stop it.

No teachers had guns there though, right?

 

[Godboy]

You simply CANNOT force a teacher to carry

Not at a PUBLIC school
Not at a PRIVATE school

Nope, but you can hire one who will and NOT hire one who wont.
