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.

I agree which is why I believe gun laws that include felony checks and that would flag people with mental health disorders are a must to save the hobby. Handing out guns to every asshole with a drivers license is insane but the US won’t have it any other way.

Our government banning guns because they look spooky is dumb as fuck though.

save the hobby

Guns aren't just a hobby, first and foremost.

There will never be any nuance or grey area when it comes to gun ownership. We're on one end of the extreme and the US is on the other. Freedom and liberty come with innate risks as we've seen in the past decade, so pick your poison.

It's not a fantasy. Guns are the only thing that keep a tyrannical government at bay. What next, the government has F16s and tanks so we should just roll over and accept what they do to us?

If potential gun owners are scared of the social implications and gravity of what owning a gun entails, they aren't gun owners to begin with
