1. Actual security in schools. Armed guards and or trained and armed teachers.
2. Raise age to buy guns, enlist in military and vote to 21. Raising the age to buy guns sounds like a good idea. If we were to do that, being able to enlist our vote doesnt make much sense IMO.
3. Expand background checks to get OKd by local police. If it passes the fed check and the local police reject it, they should explain why, with evidence. There should also be a reasonable time limit on their part. Maybe 2 days?
4. This is the most important part. Sadly, its also the part that is least likely to happen. WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING. be a father. Be a mother. Parents need some damn responsibility and take care of and pay attention to their kids. Dont let medicine raise your kids, you straighten their ass out. Quit being a coward. Just because a child doesnt pay attention to everything, doesnt mean they need medicine. They need you. Obviously that isnt always the case but lets be real, ok?
I dont want to discuss you bedwetters wanting to take our guns. We didnt do anything wrong.
These are reasonable solutions, lets discuss these.
Do you like them? Want to tweak one? Have a REASONABLE one of your own?
Lets hear it.
To me, only number1 and 4 makes sense. 2 ? I don’t know. Would the age to buy legal weed go up to? If it’s 21 then I can get on bore with that. Back to number 4 though, I am with you that kids need parents. A single Mom can really kick ass though. Weather it’s mom and dad, dad, mom/dad and mom/dad all they have to do is be interested in their kids. Simply ask them what’s up. Be nosey. Privacy? Yeah right. Toss their rooms when they aren’t around and go through their shit. Copy all the contacts in their phone. You also have to let shit go, and pick your fights. Yeah, be a parent.
Look at Columbine. Both of those kids got guns pretty easily. And their parents largely ignored them. I had a gun in my hand by age 12. I could have it in my hand any time I wanted until I was 18. I never had the urge to shoot anyone because they made fun of my Walmart jeans. Honestly, we should figure out what it is that’s driving people to do the mass shootings. Most shooters have one thing in common, anti depressants. Maybe we should ban those?
