Because they want to ban the second amendment just like you.
Naw, man, I'm all for "Well-regulated Militias". I even used to be part of one. Crazy people with machine guns, though, that's kind of a bad idea.
Those kids got shot up because of their incompetent security. The security saw the guy and knew he was a wacko. They did nothing and even after the shooting started they ran away and hide like cowards. Even the first cops stood around and did nothing.
Yeah, here's the thing. Why do we need cops at our schools to start with. So no surprise, this town put the most inept cop who probably should have retired years ago at the school, becuase, hey, it's a school. We fill our world with security guards and metal detectors and magneticly locked doors and closed circuit TV so that a few nuts can enjoy gun ownership, and then when those things fail, we bitch about how they didn't prevent a bad situation that never should have been allowed to happen to start with.
We don’t need to be told by children what needs to change. Mentally ill and thugs need to be locked up, and school security needs to get serious about protecting children. Hogg and his Marxist brigade can move to Venezuela.
We already lock up 2 million people. Most other industrialized countries lock up less than 100K. If locking people up were the answer, we'd be the safest country in the west, not the most dangerous.
