I'm waiting for the suggestion of suicide vests like the opening scene of Swordfish connected to heartbeat monitors so as son as the shooter kills one person they all go off and everyone dies in a hail of ball bearings and MAGA

Went and shot a bunch of guns with my dipshit dad who I'm not close to, and it freaked me out. People spend all this money and sperg out on them and i get the sense that they all desperately hope they'll get to use them on people one day, because target shooting is boring as hell. Guns suck, and the people that collect them should be somewhere in the guillotine lineup.

I said this in the mass shooting thread but this entire discussion reminds me of that Simpsons episode where they have a pest problem with pigeons. Some lizard gets released that wipes out the pigeons but now they have a lizard infestation. Then, the plan is to release lizard eating snakes to rid them of the lizards. Then, release snake eating gorillas to get rid of the snakes.

Just: Gun problem? Add more guns. Kids have guns? Arm janitors. Janitor goes berserk? Arm teachers. Teachers have guns? Arm the kids in case they start shooting at them. Now the police need bigger, deadlier guns because all the kids have guns. etc etc

The Simpsons also made a joke about Trump ever being president so... what I'm saying is that all schools will have armed gorillas soon.

I mean, look how many kills he racked up, but he was still ended by a PTSD Vet with a gun.

So, using vets as armed school guards makes sense.

it seems clear that the invited speakers for this was a direct response to trump tweeting about maybe regulating guns. the malformed villains who trump surrounds himself with were never going to let that stand, and it's not like he can tell a good idea from a bad one.

You know, earlier today one of the survivors at the protest was talking about how he got isolated during the attack and, because he matched the description of the shooter, everyone who saw him was in fear of him and he got detained by SWAT.

But yeah, sure, let's give the faculty guns so that they can shoot and end the crisis immediately, what can possibly go wrong

The real hosed up thing here is all these "solutions" imply that schools are just gonna keep getting shot up. They're all about mitigation rather than prevention because classrooms full of dead kids/educators is an acceptable price when it comes to gun nuts.

Sorry for the lack of lols

I see you've never been to Trump's White House HEYOOOOOOOOOOO no but seriously rural Arkansas is the worst thing and I refused to ever go back. Overt racism coupled with a speaking pace that makes every sentence take the time of a paragraph and everything is boring and my grandparents made me to go a local open mic country music night near a place called Bald Knob

At least Arkansas was the actual South. In rural PA I saw a statue of a little black boy holding a confederate flag while surrounded by watermelons in someone's yard. Plus the complete sense of hopelessness from former coal mining towns.
