What should be done to reduce mass shootings? (Poll)

[frigidweirdo]

That has been shown to not be possible.

When the rich control the country and the politics, but tell the people that they do, of course not. The rich love controlling the system. The voters haven't been told what Proportional Representation is by the rich, so they don't know.

You don't believe in freedom of speech?

You are really hilarious!

no not at all, I believe you have the right to yell fire in a crowded theater, nobody could get hurt, right.

And likewise, I can say anything I like to you in this exchange and the mods will let is stand, you wont report me because I have freedom of speech, right

what is hilarious is your low iq that results in such shallow, narrow minded thinking on your part.

Hilarious, right

Should I try that freedom of speech here and speak of your criminal sexual activities in detail or will that result in a deleted comment, a ban from the thread or usmb

Hilarious is right

Try again, seamen

Btw, over 50% of US homicides are committed with handguns.

I highlighted your error. Everything thereafter is your fantasy. Dismissed.

BTW, I was a Seaman from June 1978-March 1979 when I was promoted to E-4. Thank you for that recognition.

I can think of (4) ways to potentially reduce the number of mass shootings.

"Reduce"? Yes. Fewer guns = Fewer shootings. No guns = No shootings.

 

[Wild Bill Kelsoe]

Most school systems have already done this. After Sandy Hook, things improved nationwide.

I went to attend an IEP meeting with a friend's child at a local elementary school last school year. I was held outside the building for ten minutes because I buzzed in, stated my business and waited to be buzzed in. The door lock would not open. It took repeated tries to even get in. Once inside they copied my ID and issued a visitor's pass with my DL picture showing on it. I was held in the outer office until I was escorted by someone from the school. When I left, I had to surrender the ID back to them.

Tell me how a school shooter is going to get in.

Does the local elementary school have bullet resistant glass and doors? Or, can an active shooter just shoot the windows out and walk in like in Nashville? Or, fire on the students through the glass like in Minneapolis?

A visitor's pass isn't going to stop an active shooter...lol

 

[ding]

Disarm white males.

Good luck with that. Would you like to see the per capita numbers on violent crimes by race?

 

[Wild Bill Kelsoe]

"Reduce"? Yes. Fewer guns = Fewer shootings. No guns = No shootings.

Handguns are banned in England. Are you telling us there are no handgun murders in England?...lol

 

[JohnDB]

Why would you lie about such a serious topic as this?

So, all you have is rumors!, Disgusting! If you don't recant this bullshit, you should be placed on ignore by any decent human being.

No....the manifesto was finally released and the culpable administrator was named in it.

Just Google or AI the story and the details should be available about the private school for many of the Nashville Elite children.

Yes, they do.

How will an active shooter get through the doors and then gain admission to the school through the lobby area? The only door opens into the lobby area and the door into the school must be opened from the inside by a staff member.

You don't think school security experts are smarter than that? Schools where I taught in 2018 were built like fortresses even back then.

The school you refer to is the exception and not the norm.

I am sorry you have fallen for someone's false narrative. That school is fairly blue collar and not elite, as evidenced by the shooter attending that school. The only administrator killed was a female. Are you sure of your information?

This source says you are full of shit!

Full investigative report released in deadly Covenant School shooting

The department’s homicide unit reports that there was no evidence that the shooter had an accomplice of any kind and acted completely alone.

Yep, when seamen is dismissed it will be found on the toilet seat, once again you prove you are of low intelligence.

Squids, a lower form of marine life, you prove that

WTF is an outpatient insane asylum?

Ask the OP.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Ask the OP.

I figured you had been to one!

Most of us are crazy!

 

[there4eyeM]

These arms extremists are so out there that one wonders if they are not actually in favor of more controls by pushing absurd agenda.

 

[struth]

It's not proportional at all. If it were the US would have at least 6 parties in Congress.

And no, it's not going to change. The rich like a system they can control. They like not having to worry about voters too much. They like giving them the choice of this guy they own, or that guy they can't, and then throw money at the guy they do own.

Democracy in the US is almost non-existent. Obviously there are anomalies out there, like Trump, but they can still control Trump, and still use Trump.

The Koch brothers (minus one) put a lot of money into it, but they still supported Trump because Trump would give them the Supreme Court picks they need to cheat.

If the voters actually wanted any semblance of control over their elected officials, they'd have to stand up for it. But they don't even know what Proportional Representation is because the rich haven't told them, and won't tell them.

Pretty sad that most people have no idea what's going on.

The number of parties don’t make a Republic proportional or less proportional

"The Rich" are not monolithic. You have the Koch Brothers, Soros, and many other billionaires all throwing money at politics.
In 2020 there were "Zuckerbucks"

How Zuckerberg Took Over 2020 And Why States Must Clean Up Their Act

No conversation about election integrity is complete without understanding how Zuckerberg strategically bankrolled and staffed government election offices.

In 2024 Kamala Harris had $3.5b to spend and LOST!! So money is no guarantee of winning, i.e. "the rich" can't buy everyone.

Ask the OP what an outpatient insane asylum is...

I'm figuring that visiting a mental health professional for outpatient treatment, such as for drug abuse treatment like methadone, or PTSD, or if a snoop program red-flags them as a potential tranny mass shooter, would be cheaper than building new insane asylums and the legal battles to keep them in there.

 

[there4eyeM]

Insisting that nothing be done that touches firearms, the extremists assure that radical and wrong things will be done.
