Texas needs more guns.

"My administration is determined to do everything in our power to protect our students, secure our schools, and to keep weapons out of the hands of those who pose a threat to themselves, and to others,"


I don't think Trump can do anything. The shootings will continue because Trump is afraid of the NRA.

He was running away from home because he didn't like the way he was being reared.

There another perspective on the shooting. Other than that just reload all the other comments and opinions and rerun them.

and he was “quiet” and “kept to himself”... thus presumably making many of our relatives nervous about us again...

It's the same stupid shit as usual per the cuckservative side. Lots of blathering about mental health and jothing about guns. And at the end of the blathering they don't even suggest more money go mental health services.

Conservative media is like therapy where your counselor is another fat helpless white male retard who enables everything you already believe.

One of Pagourtzis' classmates who died in the attack, Shana Fisher, "had 4 months of problems from this boy," her mother, Sadie Rodriguez, wrote in a private message to the Los Angeles Times on Facebook. "He kept making advances on her and she repeatedly told him no."

Pagourtzis continued to get more aggressive, and she finally stood up to him and embarrassed him in class, Rodriguez said. "A week later he opens fire on everyone he didn't like," she wrote. "Shana being the first one." Rodriguez didn't say how she knew her daughter was the first victim.

Rugian thinks he is proven right ... when quite the opposite is true. But the sad little incel constantly looks for confirmation bias because he is so fucking pathetic and helpless; he needs to feed his narcissism with fake news that makes him feel special and knowledgable.

NRA boss Oliver North blames Ritalin, ‘culture of violence’ for school shootings




Incoming NRA President Oliver North tried to blame the rash of school shootings across the U.S., including the massacre at a Texas high school Friday, on video games and ADHD medication instead of access to firearms.

The gun lobby's newest spokesman said the wave of killings were carried out by "young boys" who "have been on Ritalin since they were in kindergarten."

"I am certainly not a doctor, I'm a Marine, but I can see those kinds of things happening," North said in an interview on "Fox News Sunday."

His claim comes two days after teen gunman Dimitrios Pagourtzis killed 10 of his classmates and teachers at Santa Fe High School with a handgun and a shotgun.



North, who gained notoriety in the 1980s for his role in the Iran-Contra Affair, said access to firearms wasn't the problem but violent TV shows and movies.

"The problem that we've got is we're trying like the dickens to treat the symptom without treating the disease," the 74-year-old retired lieutenant colonel said. "And the disease in this case isn't the Second Amendment. The disease is youngsters who are steeped in a culture of violence."

There have been 22 confirmed school shootings in the U.S. since the year began, according to CNN.






Friday's rampage was among the deadliest this year, along with the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School massacre that left 17 dead in Parkland, Fla. three months ago.

But North said the shooters were "drugged in many cases."

"Nearly all of these perpetrators are male, and they're young teenagers in most cases, and they've come through a culture where violence is commonplace," he said. "All we need to do is turn on a TV, go to a movie."

North, who was named to the gun lobbying group's presidency earlier this month, also said he wants to add another 1 million members to the NRA's cause.

Oliver North lying to the American people seems awfully familiar. Well, at least he wasn't under oath this time.

I don't live by your standards you fucking retard.

Better than using retarded meme talking points from the NRA's twitter feed.

People need to be responsible for their guns and the age-limit should be changed to 21 or higher. Anyone guilty of not appropriately safeguarding their guns when stolen or taken by someone other than the owner should be held to at least a misdemeanor charge.

That'd be a good start.

Now cue the cuckservative bullshit: "You're turning gun owners into criminals." etc. etc. etc.

Whatever, fuck you imbeciles. You don't need AR-15's to hunt deer. FUCK YOU.

murder,

The weaponry needed to pull off a school shooting has been available for over a century now. It's perfectly reasonable to seek out reasons why such shootings are only now becoming apparently more common.

Guy whose girlfriend I slept with,

You really are a fucking empty vessel for MSM talking points. Last week it was AR-15s are the problem, this week it's raising the legal age to own weapons. You don't actually have any legitimate positions on gun control, you just parrot whatever you hear on CNN.

Raising the legal age to buy a firearm isn't an uncontroversial position, fuckhead. By age 18, a citizen is entrusted with the vote, with operating two ton vehicles, and with ACTUAL assault rifles via army service. If we as a society think that you're mature enough to decide who gets access to the nuclear button, then you're mature enough to own a gun.

This story was about a guy stealing his father's shotgun and revolver and shooting up a school. The proper response is to go "fuck, that sucks;" if you see this case as a justification for gun control, it literally makes you someone advocating for the repeal of the Second Amendment. Fuck off.

Maybe not so young anymore.

Pretending these guys are merely "introverted" rather than possessed of some seriously warped ideas about identity, gender roles and associated expectation is just sticking your head in the sand.
