Well, this thread has me convinced that my country does everything wrong and the way others do things is far superior.
And that there's an easy way to fix this very simple social issue.

I'm waiting for the one that's realistic.
The "voluntary gun quit" is fantasy.
After a mass shooting in 2020, Canada banned "assault style weapons". Now sure, the guy who did it illegally acquired his gun, but you know, public safety.

I work at schools everyday
The only building I can’t just walk into is the district office.


There is more security at the entrance of a Best Buy or Costco than any school in my district.
So that's not an answer. "Everyone is stupid" isn't a solution or even a worthwhile comment. That's what consistently shits me about that clown. ?

In my town, the schools have double entry - you ring the bell at an intercom w security cam to be let in the first door by person at desk behind bulletproof glass. You have to be there for a meeting vouched by staff + give ID to get a badge printed and get buzzed in second door.

Otherwise, and in most cases, you have to wait in that entry way and they bring your kid to you. If you brought something to drop off they come around to get it or you can slip it under the glass in the tray if small enough (like my kid's library book when he left it home by accident).

Would be curious if these schools have these measures as the double entry is supposedly a top deterrent.
That sounds like a great system.
You mean, it sounds like a prison.

Didn't it in Australia?

Here's one of a relative's perfectly legal guns in Australia. He's ex army, and he likes to hunt on a mate of his' farm.

Just can't have handguns or weapons like these assholes take into schools and supermarkets and mosques. No political party is campaigns to bring those weapons into society. It's not a vote winner.

There needs to be stronger punishment for gun involved crimes. In California we love to release violent criminals then act shocked when the commit another crime.


The study, published in July 2018 by the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority, found that 67 percent of the gun group was rearrested, compared to 41 percent of the non-gun group — remarkably similar results as the Commission’s.

“Being initially firearm-involved was such a strong … predictive factor of re-arrest that other variables, such as being male, Black, and younger at the initial arrest, added little explanatory power for the different rates of recidivism between the two groups,” researchers Christine Devitt Westley and Bobae Kang wrote.
You already have 4% of the world's population and one-quarter of its prison population. The solution is more people in prison?

If they are violent criminals, yeah. Catch and release BS is huge problem. Especially on the west coast / any liberal state. Why pass laws if they are not going to be enforced?

Probably more like shifting who is in prison. Get rid of all of the non-violent drug offenders and increase the amount of criminals using a gun. A gun is a murder threat. Go to jail. Do not pass go. Same with procuring said crime gun. Should have a system so we can enforce against straw purchases and stolen guns. There's laws about both, but the system makes it pretty much unenforceable

Thoughts and prayers just don't seem to be working...





Backward country gonna backward.

Oh. And don't forget the lightening. Never forget the lightening.
I don't think anyone is praying or having any of these poor souls in their thoughts except for the family members of course. Seems like this country is full of hate and selfish people.
