    More gun laws due to school shootings

    Just like clockwork and as we all knew the democrats pounced on more gun control after the recent school shooting. The parents had not all been notified, the blood was still running but that didn't stop the commies from trying to get what they want--full government control.

    Here in Alabama and perhaps many other states any new laws may bite the democrats in the arse. Ala is proposing that teachers arm themselves. Now while this is nothing new and in most cases I would trust the students with guns more so than the liberal teachers it does give any disturbed, action hero, rebellious student with a weapon something else to think about. While most teachers probably would not chose to arm themselves the option would be there and no one would or should know if they are packing or not.

    Unless common sense is restored at all levels conditions will not improve. Responsibility needs to begin at home but school officials should have input as well when they notice questionable behavior in a student.

    When my kids were younger and in the public school system there were one or two students that were "not right" and disruptive to the whole class. When the subject came up to the principle he said "well, what do you want me to do about it? That kid has a right to go to school and the law says he has a right to be here". Kids like these could easily turn out to be the "little ninja's" who decide to shoot innocent students.

    With the schools now too large, too crowded and too diverse extra security is needed and teachers being allowed to arm themselves I think is a good measure. Perhaps having one or two sheriffs deputies on hand would put a lid on some the shooters as well. In any case things can't happen till the PC crowd backs off. THEY are the ones who have made the public school system what it is today.

      In addition to cries for gun control, there are anti-Trump protests saying HE should "do something". I reckon Obama set a precedence for getting personally involved in issues on a state level.
      Ya know...I was expecting Trump to stop by my house and ask how I was doing.

          the discussion should be how to correct a long term problem, because more laws dont fix anything.

              So are we blaming school shootings on Liberals? Someone refresh me. Over-attentive parenting? Any teachers (or spouses thereof) or youth sports coaches in the crowd? If so they'll guarantee you that parents trying to smooth the path for their kids through life come in all political colors these days. In any case, if the call is going out to raise standards of conduct in all other aspects of society so that gun purchases can continue to have a low qualifying bar, then this is ironic indeed. And it fails to address the fact that some people, for organic or other reasons, won't make the grade, like what just happened in Florida. He got booted from school because he couldn't control himself, but there's no box for that on a 4473.

                you go ahead and think that, this whole everyone gets a trophy bs is a liberal invention. you want laws, ok why dont we make people have to earn their rights, 2yr min service to their country, cant own a firearm unless you have a dd214! should solve 99.99% of problems instantly. that way its still a right, but you have to earn it, and actually have some sweat equity into this country before you can enjoy your rights. should apply to voting too! in case you havent noticed, the laws arent working. against the law to commit murder, yup that stopped it, against the law to use a firearm in the commission of a crime, yup that stopped it. against the law to have a firearm on school property, yup that sure did it! none of those, nor any of the other thousands of firearms laws stopped any of this. laws and restrictions only stop decent law abiding people, and those people are not who commit these crimes. anybody who actually believes for a second more laws and regulations will stop even 1 of these aholes from doing this again, has serious mental retardation!

                  I am--indirectly. Beginning with uber-liberal Dr. Spock, who was the first to assert (seriously) the principle that discipline in child-rearing was an infringement on their "rights."

                    The generation of kids that are seeing and experiencing mass shootings at schools, churches and outdoor venues will be the change agents for gun legislation.

                      Well Road King you've nailed it yet again .... our time is soon over and our arguements moot. Our failures will be left to them to deal with .... and they will.... or like us...they won't.

                      One thing about the carnage so common now here in the United States .... it does, if only momentarily, take their focus off a 4 inch screen in their left hand .....

                      But again... the decisions will be theirs... and for us.... as long as we get to play with our toys until the end ...we're all set

                        THAT is an eye opener!

                          JB... you are quite correct... THAT IS definitely an eye opener ...

                          if we can't... or wont protect them ... they will have to take it upon themselves to do so .... I'm betting those young people are not going to stand behind the Constitution as hard as we might ...

                          and we better get used to that fact. And before we ridicule them for that ...... how do we expect them to understand the benefits of constitutional gun ownership after what so many of our young have witnessed.... in a place thats not even considered a xxxxhole country

                            Back in 1968 I saw the 1968 Gun Control Act come about after the murder of King and Kennedy. This was suppose to make America Safe. In 1970 the Safe Street Act to make America Safe. In 1968 we lost the manufacture of full automatic weapons to make streets safe. In 1994 the Assault Weapons/large capacity act to make streets safe. So far how are the laws doing? You guys are missing one important item and that is returning veterans who have taken up arms and don't want to lose this right...this could be our ace in the hole. We must not let the left win by using emotional argument, we must maintain our standing with reason. Today I shut down one who was using "For the children's sake!" when otherwise then full confiscation she could not come up with a law that could have been used. America is different due to our freedom's, we must continue to pound these freedom's at every turn, at every opportunity.

                              Against mindless hysteria, such as the Florida demonstrations I've just been watching on the evening news, it's a hard row to hoe.
