Terrorism Thread: It's Not Just Muslims. That's What They Want You to Think.

[Fondue]

are they going to issue standardized weapons or do you get to pick what you bring? honestly becoming a teacher sounds p sweet right now

[synistar]

Get your Ticonderoga #2 pistol. Sorry #1 and #3s won't count when you shoot a scantron.

[Fiye]

I wonder if republicans figured out they're gonna arm black teachers as well.

[Eurell]

And Muslim teachers

[chazzyphizzle]

he said "qualified" cmon, code words baby

[Day]

you guys know they aren't talking about requiring teachers to carry right

i have some qualms about letting even trained/ccw teachers be armed but a lot of people seem to be arguing from the position that it will be mandatory for ms. jones with the weird hand to carry

should also be noted that it's already allowed in 18 states : https://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiep...armed-n2454454

I think the problem is moreso that they are using this brilliant tactic to avoid, you know, actually fixing the root cause.

It's pretty clearly just some nonsense rabbit for the media to chase for a few days.

that requires folks to agree on the "root cause" obviously the ability to purchase a weapon doesn't turn you instantly into a mass murderer.

Access to firearms makes violent crime much much much more deadly.

That's the simplest one-sentence explanation of "the problem".

again i'm not overly keen on the idea in general, but I can understand the desire. if I was trapped in a room hiding in a corner in that situation I would greatly prefer someone in the room I was with have a weapon than be defenseless.

Goalposts. We aren't talking about solving the root cause of violence, we're addressing the root cause of mass shootings.

I mean in 2014, 5 dudes with knives killed 30 some people and injured 100 in a china train station. VA tech was a coupe handguns. If we really want to find the "the problem" I'm not really sure it lies with the weapon choice.

I don't think there's any one simple solution but various options to help deter and defend have been discussed over and over and over.

I'm all for better background checks, better enforcement when multiple calls are called on a gun owner, would be fine with banning bump stocks, large capacity magazines but I honestly don't know how much any of that will help.

So you think the root cause of mass shootings is being able to purchase the weapon?

[Fiye]

Oh a fire arm in VA and a knife attack in another country what good examples. You know what lets do nothing and maybe my daughter's school will be the next lucky choice for a visit from some alt right nut job with a gun hobby.

twice as many people died, seems like fine examples to me
