But what will our schools look like when we are done? What will our schools feel like? Is this where we are to train and nurture a free society, in the midst of assault rifles and bulletproof armor? Those things signify and communicate something quite other than freedom.
They impose an environment of fear, which can be debilitating to our youth, whom we should want to be confident, open, honest and happy. These are not the kinds of things you see in a free society, but a society at war. How bizarre is it that we would willfully take on the trappings of a society at war, while countless nations around the world — embroiled in real, live civil wars — envy our peace?
This is madness, of course. The NRA’s logic dictates that we should make our schools look like war zones to accommodate unfettered gun rights.

We only have two choices in this matter: Live with mass killings or do something to try and stop them. Trying to go against our Constitution and disarm 300 million Americans will not be the solution because it can't be done.

Disarming the population isn’t possible nor is it desireable, but you can put much tighter restrictions on the sale of weapons which have no purpose other than aggression and murder, and on who can buy a gun. Same with large clips.
You can also require anyone buying a gun to having training, a background check, and err on the side of caution.

And that's going to stop all mass shootings? After all, isn't that what we are talking about here?

What an ignorant, ill-informed comment. This idea that if it doesn’t completely stop mass shootings then it shouldn’t be done.
You cannot prevent every crime or even every shooting. But you can substantially reduce the number of murders and mass shootings just by making guns more difficult to get, and banning assault style weapons.
It’s worked in every country that has banned assault type weapons and large magazines.
If I walk down the street and am gunned downed by a guy who drops his AR-15 on the street and it discharges into my face, the gun nuts would blame me for not wearing full body armor.
If you're walking down the street with your AR-15 and a round in the chamber your name is probably Murphy. If you drop it and it goes off hitting you we would just nominate you for a Darwin award. Hope that helps your understanding.
People havent changed. Their environment has changed. The people that are doing this feel that they are exacting revenge.Its not the fault of the tool I just said thats the thing that changed the most.No each generation is still human. The only thing thats changed is the killing power and efficiency of the weapons.It may have been only you that mutated. Every generation is different, work ethic for example, current batch of kids appear to have less of a work ethic than their parents, parents different from their parents. I'd say 200 years ago a lot was different.
No, someone good with a Japanese Katana even from 500 years ago could easily kill more than 17 in that time frame.
With a blunderbuss from 1600 one could kill 17 people with a single shot.
Hand held weapons have not changed much in killing power or efficiency.
In fact, after WWI, there was a huge surplus of unused Thompson Machineguns they were selling mail order for $25.
If someone had an 1890 pump shotgun, they would easily have killed 30 or more in the same time frame.
The false notion it is the fault of the tools somehow, is just totally wrong.
The problem is the students bulling victims like Cruz and causing the violence.
Which brings us back to it's people that have changed the most.
In the 1920's was the environment that Drumpf harkens to when he says MAGA.A more powerful and efficient killing weapon nowdays. I dont see that same change or even rate of change reflected in humans.No each generation is still human.

Every generation is different, work ethic for example, current batch of kids appear to have less of a work ethic than their parents, parents different from their parents.

Each generation is still human? Hmmm...the weapon is still a gun.
That is totally wrong.
School shootings are not only fairly new, but rising drastically, and that has nothing at all to do with weapons. It has to do entirely with heightened emotions and lack of responsibility.
Here is the graph of school shootings. Back around 1920 is when full auto weapons were the cheapest and easiest to get, without any licensing requirements at all.
One of the first things they did was to take prayer out of school. Been downhill since then.We had no problem with gun rights until democrat lunatics took over. There were no mass shootings and no school shootings.
Lol, now that's funny, just there is no atheist in a fox hole.One of the first things they did was to take prayer out of school. Been downhill since then.We had no problem with gun rights until democrat lunatics took over. There were no mass shootings and no school shootings.
Oh, there is student prayer in schools! You should see them right before I give them a test!

The real problem is that they no longer feel in control. I'm not going to pander to their wishes.People havent changed. Their environment has changed. The people that are doing this feel that they are exacting revenge.
You are not going to solve the real problem until you see people have changed. Identify what has changed in them and start a better change.

HUH???????????????? So let's see: You're a teacher in a school and you hear shots being fired and students screaming. Will you be scared to death if you are heavily armed or if you are defenseless?
The real problem is that they no longer feel in control. I'm not going to pander to their wishes.
Why are you scared?But what will our schools look like when we are done? What will our schools feel like? Is this where we are to train and nurture a free society, in the midst of assault rifles and bulletproof armor? Those things signify and communicate something quite other than freedom.

I think you're missing two points.
1) We're already scared to death.
2) The purpose of the "heavily-armed" is BECAUSE being helpless and defenseless justifiably scares anyone sane.
Not true. Everyone seeks control. The problem that drives some people bat shit is loss of control or loss of perceived control.The real problem is that they no longer feel in control. I'm not going to pander to their wishes.
Control is sought by the weak. Understanding that you make the best of every situation is power.

Ah, you fell for the trap, this is good. More power for me.
