I concur.
It also helps to not act like a dick.

Agreed. You need to start somewhere and I applaud anyone who is willing take those first baby steps. But banning bump stocks is a drop in the bucket in solving this problem. We need to be looking at it holistically and attack it from all angles...assault weapons ban, background checks, your idea on school security, mental health, better coordination between law enforcement/education/health providers and yes maybe even a few more armed guards in schools. I don't know if this is the right combination or even the right tactics but I know we need a comprehensive approach. Unfortunately to accomplish something of this magnitude, you need leaders who can actually inspire, influence other people and coordinate with very large bureaucratic organizations. It's not easy but it's certainly possible. It's actually something our government did very well up until blind partisanship took over.
I retract the more armed guards suggestion above.
He must have been a local deputy or ex fbi

The number of armed guards it would take to actually secure these schools is impractical.
Anyone that calls themselves a proud NRA member is an awful person.
You mean like the 129 dead Parisians killed with AK-47’s acquired illegally from Eastern Europe?
Keep reading those bs articles that claim people would find it difficult to get black market weapons
I always found the argument of "they'll just get these guns illegally!" to be a little soft. In almost all these cases, they aren't getting them illegally, so it's a moot point. If we added the hurdle of having to get their guns on the black market, that seems like a good thing, no? Most of these kids are anti-social, so I doubt they are going to easily maneuver around black market arms dealers without raising some flags. If the worst case of gun regulations are that criminals acquire guns illegally, well that's still an improvement.
Good post and agreed.
Man, that Dana Loesch is a real bitch. I don't condone violence on anyone, but she has a punchable face and comes across as the most disingenuous person I've listened to in a long time. The way she and the rest of the NRA have handled this has been embarrassingly bad.
Huh. So the good guy with a gun didn’t stop the bad guy with a gun? This guy is going to have a heavy conscience.
It’s opinions like this that are going to polarize sides, make comprimise impossible, and lead to more deaths of innocent people. You sir have blood on your hands.

There are people who call themselves proud, responsible gun owners. Those folks have a position that is different than mine, but I owe them the time and mental energy to listen and engage in conversation. There are people who are proud NRA members, and ALL OF THE FACTS dictate that they are awful people.
Not the way LaPierre and what's her face have been talking in the last 24 hours
This is a ludicrous opinion. To boil down the judgement of a person to only whether they support gun ownership is crazy.
