A couple of points to provide context for the story:

Yeah, that one guy with a handgun would have made ALL the difference if he ran in with no real understanding of the situation.

A couple of years ago, a grade school teacher in Utah accidentally shot up a toilet and injured herself. She was carrying a concealed weapon, which was perfectly legal. er student’s parents didn’t know she carried until after the accident. A number of the parents tried to pull their kids out of her class, but I don’t…

Anyone who believes teachers need guns to defend children against wildlife is an idiot. Bears and cougar do not attempt to roam school hallways or hang out by the school buses. (I am from a rural area. I know better.)

Plus, what kind of guns are you giving the teachers? Your average gun is going to do jack up against an AR-15 (and maybe bombs or what have you), especially when you are experiencing a surprise attack.

It’s not, weirdly enough. It’s the window’s seat phenomenon.

I’m guessing that you never made it through high school civics.

That’s true. Only ignorant, bigoted a-holes are allowed to do that. Just ask Mike Pence.

My boyfriend, who disagrees with me on nearly every political point and is a member of the NRA, shocked me today by telling me that he didn’t think he wanted to go to the gun range anymore or continue his project of refurbishing an old pistol. Even though I thoroughly disagree with his beliefs concerning guns and the…

ME TOO. I’ve actually cracked one. I’ve also regressed on my bulemia, and I am drinking way, way too much.

Similarly, Sean Hannity doesn’t have a degree.

Stop being such a whiny, self-centered snowflake. It’s just so sad that you don’t get the attention you deserve. There are some great comments on this site-some are made by men, some by women. People enjoy them because they are astute, funny, interesting, enlightening. Try harder. And don’t read things if you don’t…

The current a-holes can’t even fake their way through the motions.

People need to face up to it. They need to see that it’s reality and get an authentic visual of the pain it causes.

Right? So why do we even bother to outlaw murder? What a waste of time.

It goes without saying that this is a horrific situation, but your comment made me laugh, and I thank you for that. Other than this, I have mostly just felt depressed and nauseated.

This is an EXCELLENT point.

Right - That technicality made all the difference in the world in Las Vegas.

Bump stocks are legal nearly everywhere, and, if you don’t know how to get around a background check, you’re an idiot (hint: gun shows and internet sales).

And you can go f your guns.
