Don't tell me what I think. I'll tell you what I think - just ask, and I'll actually tell you straight up, no stupid little games. Weird, right?
I've already conceded its not a perfect solution and this is about the 4th time I'm telling you that. However, that does not mean the idea is without merit. Statistically it's the best solution currently available to us. However, you insist on ignoring anything I say in favor of chanting "You're not answering the question!".
"Statistically it's the best solution available to us."
The better solution would be enforcement of the already in place background check system. Lanza isn't a great example, he stole his guns."Statistically it's the best solution available to us."
Based on what, exactly? Other than your feelings?
It's the "solution" that the US has chosen, and guess what? Their gun violence is absolutely off the charts compared to every other developed nation.
Statistically, the best solution is a combination of things, "armed guards everywhere" being nowhere close to the top.
Batman shooter James Holmes was clearly and obviously deeply mentally ill. He was socially nonfunctional, his thinking was highly disordered, his speech was very disjointed, and nobody who came in contact with him for more than a couple of minutes thought that he was playing with a full deck.
He still had no trouble buying an arsenal of powerful weapons including tear gas, and a full suit of military-grade body armour, though.
Do you think that the better approach would be having a bored minimum wage security guard with a handgun sitting in the lobby waiting for him to show up, or do you think it would be better for severely mentally ill people like him to not buy these?
You think socially isolated mental defectives like Holmes, Adam Lanza, Seung-Hui Cho etc can get these weapons on the black market?

That's a better solution than having armed guards everywhere? You never said a word about background checks or anything to do with gun control at all earlier. It was just, quote, "metal detectors and armed guards".
From his mother, who had an actual armoury just sitting around the house unsecured with her mental defective son who was completely socially isolated and inept, and fixated on guns and mass murder.
Would a guy who thinks hes a woman qualify as a severe mental disorder? Being that they are way out of touch with reality?"Statistically it's the best solution available to us."

I personally would consider that a mental disorder, sure.
Drug use? Not unless it's accompanied by crimes of violence (burglary is considered violence.)
Why would I cuss you out? Your question is reasonable and you're asking it in good faith, and responding to what I reply. You're not posting stupid gifs or playing stupid word games or deflecting everything or ignoring every point I make, or just telling me what a prick I am with every reply. Why would I curse you out? For having a different opinion than me?
So as long as a mass shooting doesn't happen in a school it doesn't count? Lol, k.
You should run for President.
You aren't the first person to suggest that.
It's odd to me that you're sharper than Biden even though you're many years his senior.
are you familiar the "Riot In Slow Motion" explanation of school shootings and other mass killing events?
being smarter than Biden at any point in his life is a pretty low bar.
Yeah, I think there's some validity to it as well. They definitely happen in clusters, and it is for sure the right tactic for the media to downplay the killer's identity and motivations. Referring to him as "the shooter" or "the gunman" and not broadcasting his message (like a manifesto) will go a long way to lessening the number of mass shootings in general and school shootings in particular. Most school shooters basically do it for attention.
Sure, you're not a fuckwit troll. Keep whining that I respond to things that you didn't say. Or are you dumb enough that you think you made a point here?
This cartoon is incorrect because the crucial gun laws operate on a municipal and state level newsom for CA and local sheriffs in any U.S city are more important to your ability to have guns than the president. Sheriffs also issue conceal carry permits at least in CA.
Clinton also passed a gun ban law and Biden was the one who said he was going to "Take your AR 14!"
