As for the polls I worry its just a knee jerk reaction. Last thing we need is another Patriot act or more things like the TSA or more homeland security.

Most gang bangers are in school when they start their career. Do they bring weapons to class? damn right they do. Ive seen them. Do they shoot and stab people INSIDE the buildings, not just on the property. yup. Gangbangers don't give a crap what building they're in. They've even shot up hospitals. It doesn't make the nationwide news because it's just a buncha gangbangers.

Do me a favor and check again on what I asked. When was the last time a "criminal/gang banger" went into a school and killed? When did one go in and shoot up a classroom? If the sources are so many, it shouldnt be that hard to find.

No one is saying killings dont happen in schools. No one said they werent criminals. I am saying it isnt gang bangers who are doing these mass killings in school. Now, you state they are. So offer the links. Im saying they dont.

I've showed criminals breaking into a classroom and murdering a student. What are you going to change it to next?

Easy way to stop gun violence, every country with nuclear weapons needs to launch em at each other.

Oh, forgot the one you did show... which had no gang ties. My bad.... Again, you havent made your case. You said criminal/gangbanger. That means if you poll 1000 people criminal or gangbanger means either or which is redundant. I showed one breaking into a classroom and several comitting their murderous crimes ON SCHOOL GROUNDS this mean at school. Deal with it. You screwed up and moved the goalposts to try to make up for it. I showed gang killings on school grounds and even showed criminals killing in the classroom. Word your questions better or don't whine.

Deal with it. You screwed up and moved the goalposts to try to make up for it. I didnt screw up. You tried to wiggle some links in there hoping I wouldnt check. In front of the school can mean across the street. The one you CAN prove was on school grounds happened at night... Again.... WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME A CRIMINAL/GANGBANGER WENT INTO A SCHOOL AND KILLED? My original question. The answer is.. as I have often stated... they dont.

Here is your quote "When was the last time a "criminal/gang banger" went into a school and killed? " Criminal/gangbanger doesnt mean gang member. It means criminal or gangbanger. If you had meant gangbanger, you'd have said "gangbanger". You said "criminal/gangbanger" I showed killings ON SCHOOL PROPERTY by gang members. You then moved the goal poasts to "in a classroom" I showed "criminals" killing IN A CLASSROOM Face it. If they have weapons on school property, and KILL people, they're criminals. You screwed up with your initial statement. Then, you moved the goalposts twice and denied it. Deal with it.

So don't ban guns. Just make it more difficult for the possession of guns. Extend the waiting period so that a thorough, complete background can be done. Make gun safety education and the passing of a written test mandatory. License all firearms. Have uniform rules across the country in proper storage (gun safes). Make those wanting a gun take a psychological exam. Of course none of this keep all those who shouldn't have a gun from getting their hands on a gun, but it would keep some from getting one. And just because something isn't 100% effective doesn't mean it shouldn't be done. We have reasonable, responsible restrictions on all of our rights. My right to the freedom of speech, for instance stops at my job. I'm not allowed to talk about the medical history of my clients. To do so is a felony. And the right bear arms should be subject to similar reasonable, responsible restrictions.

erieangel -> RE: For whom the polls toll... (12/20/2012 8:21:09 PM)
Give it up Hillwilliam, even I knew she was talking about gang bangers.

tazzygirl -> RE: For whom the polls toll... (12/20/2012 9:40:11 PM)
Which is my point behind locking them up. We may not be able to get all the guns out of those hands that arent legally supposed to have them.... but why cant we limit how many more they get?

erieangel -> RE: For whom the polls toll... (12/20/2012 9:59:06 PM)
Some will say that since any legislation wouldn't be 100% affective, we'd be better off not doing anything at all. Giving teachers and janitors and school administrators guns certainly isn't the answer. A few years ago, a local teacher was suspended for slapping a student. When my son reminded me of that, I shuddered to think what could have happened if the teacher had had a gun.

tazzygirl -> RE: For whom the polls toll... (12/20/2012 10:07:01 PM)
Its insane to give teacher's guns. I do agree with having police in schools. Its sad we have gotten to that point... but....
