19 students, 3 adults dead in Texas elementary shooting.

[508mikey]

Hearing on news that one of the shot LEO’s was the SRO for the school. He tried to intercede and put the shooter under fire but was injured. Still unknown how the shooter just walked into the school.

Yeah I dont get that these days - For me just to get into my daughters high school several years ago it was like a major interegation badge, ID so on -- I would say this is on the school for lack of safety precautions

Why would one need body armor?

They make bulletproof backpacks for kids.

You on the shooters side?

Francis endearing himself to Texas voters and showing what an effective charismatic leader he is. I hope he continues this approach of self destruction as his political career continues to circle the toilet drain.

With today's stunt, I'm surprised he didn't land a coveted job on President potato head's cabinet.

Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin shouted at O'Rourke as well, calling him a "sick son of a b!tch."

If only the crazy gunmen looking to kill for their brief moment of infamy would turn their attention on politicians.

What is the matter with owning body armor?

Bunch of Ukrainians are asking the same question

Seriously? Why does a civilian need body armor. Go ahead ill wait.

He’s already the idiot in chief’s gun control zsar. Still waiting on his official cabinet appointment there.

We should restrict mating and parenting. Only those who can pass a BGC are allowed to have sex
Be better than more gun laws.

Fixed your post

Let me check with the Ukrainians

Mostly because we do a piss poor job of identifying the mentally ill in this country, which leads to innocent people being shot by crazies that put out all kinds of warning signs that no one bothered to recognize or act on.

Not that one is required for body armor but the Form 4473 doesn’t ask “do you really need this item?” anywhere on the form?

Show me where you get to be arbiter of what anybody wants. Go ahead I’ll wait.

So really no need for any criminal laws, right?

No need to alter the constitution for some bull **** idea of the “greater good” when the ban has already been tried and proven a failure.

I would assume that a place like Uvalde TX wasn't expecting an unhinged attacker to waltz in with a rifle and start shooting kids. I'm sure it's the same in most rural areas as well. Unfortunately, shootings like this will cause changes, just like 9-11 did.

Your commie tendencies consume you to the point you don't recognise you live in America, where Americans understand it's not what you need, it's what you want.

The difficult part is that we can't just flip a switch and change society. If you want two parent homes with more parental interaction, it's going to have to involve an evolution of the workforce so that both parents don't have to work to support the family financially.

That can happen right now if we controlled consumer spending better. Plus, the average home size has exploded since the 1970s. The home I grew up in was 3 bedroom and 1400 sf. Today, that is considered a starter home.

Also, if a wife/mother is earning less than $40k/yr, you can make a good case for her doing better to just quit her job and stay at home. Between day care costs, gas/car and time away from home, I think that is doable for a lot of families.

It's going to take subdivisions and neighborhood design that includes common recreational spaces in walking distance for its citizens. It's going to take a combination of parents monitoring and entertainers performing material that doesn't glorify sex, violence, and drugs.

I could make the case that after WWII when we started moving away from homesteads or small family farms to seeing Levittowns and subdivisions, that it may have added to the gradual decline we see ourselves in right now.

Rampant individualism is going to have to minimize itself and we're going to have to start living in community again. Shared values, shared experiences, shared oversight.

You should be in Davos. Are you one of these believers in "toxic masculinity" also?

For when a tyrannical government comes calling to take away your guns.

I'm saying why should it be legal?

The point of civil liberties is that unless I’m harming someone else, I don’t owe you an explanation as to why I need or want it.

 

[Orangeslice13]

No

Probably going to die anyway armor or no armor

 

[Weezer]

Are we back to blaming guns again rather than the crazy ass hole that was wielding the gun?

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

In case you need to do something revolutionary.

They were probably waiting on a few mass casualty events to announce it, and they are still waiting for the mis/dis information bureau hub bub to settle down.

Why should it be illegal?

We have laws, assault and murder are crime regardless of the tool used.
While in 2nd grade a girl tried to stab another student with a pencil, the girl had a team that met for her “treatment” not a single person on yhat team was an advocate for the other 25 students.
BTW that girl is now in jail for…..you guessed it …. Murder
