Well, it is a lot of money if it was just for a concession stand (which it is not apparently). That’s the premise the original comment was made on though.

100% correct. I have also stated that on several occasions.

Yep. I noticed it a few days ago.

There’s lots of things the military does that wouldn’t fly in the civilian world.

From the article: “ALEA officials said White tried to make forcible entry into the school resource officer's marked Rainbow City patrol vehicle. When the SRO attempted to stop him, ALEA officials said White resisted and attempted to take the SRO's gun.”

I wouldn’t necessarily go with either. The former Marine is a dork.

And for his information, there’s LOTS of things that you are subject to in the Military that you aren’t subject to in civilian life.

Since you asked, the guy is either retarded or owns a gun owner safety and certification business.

Institutions as an idea on paper were great. Practically, however, they didn’t always work so well. Rusk was an example of how not to run a mental institution.

I agree (except, well, mine of course)…🤗

I would vote for Trump in a heartbeat, but I hope DeSantis gets the nod.

Not being argumentative, but what’s your point? Taking a gun safety class wouldn’t have made a difference.

Lock & load.

A guy that murdered 21 people with a firearm ain’t gonna fail the test.

I think we are saying the same thing. I’m just accentuating the mental health aspect.

I agree, I don't know the answer. I would say it's time to find out...

What will giving a potential shooter a test gain? Are you afraid he's going to hurt himself while murdering kids? I haven't quite understood the classes or certifications for owning a weapon in regards to hindering killers.

I hate to disagree, but “a very distant 2nd” is not true in my opinion. Unless you do at least both of those things, you are not going to be effective at curtailing the school shooter problem.

You’re making my point. IN ADDITION to hardening schools, more focus and emphasis should be put on recognizing and acting on the mental health of these people.

That’s why hardening schools alone is not the only answer. You gotta address the real issue which is some young dude (generally) who has some screws loose.

Nothing to address mental health?

Yeah, I don’t plan on turning in my weapons either.

Exactly. Or even unloads from the bottom of the stands into the seated spectators. By and large, these attackers know in the backs of their minds they’re probably not going to survive the event.

I agree with “hardening” schools too. But what happens when some wing nut shows up to the football game at homecoming or any other scenario outside the walls of the school and decides to go on a rampage?
