Who's going to tell these Liberals that carrying a firearm within 1000 feet of a school is a felony in all 50 states.

Unfortunately the shooter didn't give a fuck about the law and did it anyway.

And have y'all noticed that these shooters are attacking schools, supermarkets and other places where no one has a gun? It's almost as if gun free zones are the easiest targets.

Thank God for that border patrol agent who happened to be near the school and took the shooter down.

Having said that most other countries have less people armed and less school shootings. Arming more people in the schools doesn’t seem to be the fix. I have no idea what is.

We're living in a culture and society that needs fixing from the bottom up. Mental health is one of those factors that is neglected a ton. Guns aren't and never will be the problem, the 1% of psychotic fucks will still find a way to hurt others.

Sane people do terrible things all the time, you can find a lot of it on reddit. The problem in America is that literally anyone that hasn't committed a felony can buy a gun. Think about the angriest or shittiest person you know going to a gun show in Kentucky and buying an AK with just their driver's license. That should worry every American. Here, we have to go through a lot of BS just to get a gun but it works, I trust other gun owners here because they had to go through the same stuff I had to. The gun laws are basically fine, it's just that we have people that don't know anything about guns making laws about guns.
