Entertainment. Watching rightward foam at the mouth is highly entertaining.

That's true and he does a lot of that.

Such common sense never considered by the immoral moronic Left. School shootings give them a reason to attack the Constitution as well as honest citizens.

In my case, I also had worked as a state licensed armed security guard weekends and summers for several years*. So the school cop soon told me that if I showed up, I would definitely be getting one of his backup guns. So every football game or other event I worked I made sure he knew I was there and usually manned the section of stadium etc. right at the main entrance where he stayed until he got called for something.

*I worked for a small Alarm Response and Industrial Patrol company owned by a friend. We drove a circuit of our clients and if an alarm went off the boss radioed us from the office, and we raced to beat the cops = we had the keys and codes to get in without breaking doors or windows. Our local PD gained such a good opinion of us that when we asked to go on a "Ride Along"** they asked us to ride in uniform with all gear, except our gun, and we acted as sort of backup to the cop we were riding with. Only once did I have to back up the cop. He pulled up to the 3 very rowdy drunks (yelling, fighting and throwing empty bottles at cars) and told me to open the passenger door and stand behind it so they could only see I had a uniform but not if I had a gun. Then he walked a big circle and came at them from the other side. The guys looked back and forth from him to me, put down all their bottles etc. and put their hands up Hollywood style. And the leader said in Spanish, "No problems, everything is very good." As the cop handcuffed the first one and two more cars pulled up, I told the guy in my broken Spanish "No, it isn't good, it is very bad, and you have many problems." About then the situation finally got through the alcohol haze, his face sort of fell, and he said "Si Senior, no es bueno, esta muy malo!" roughly "Yes sir, it isn't good, it is very bad."

**I always rode with the same cop who was a friend. One Saturday night we got called for two teenagers standing on the corner and talking with a couple of the local "Working Girls". One of the teenagers turned out to be his little brother who was supposed to be at a school party. Boy was there a scene. A Vice Dpt Detective and another patrol car showed up to take over the "Girls" and we kept the boys. Plus, he called home for their Mother or Father to meet us at the station for a pickup. All the while his little brother (17) was begging him, "Please don't tell Mom!"

Interesting. Being a patrol deputy was the best job I ever had. Though I thought I would hate it being a correctional officer was the 2nd best job I ever had. Other jobs may have paid more but they were all 2nd best.

If the debate took place when my kids were growing and going to school, I would not have a problem of having "police" protection (whether actual police officers or "qualified" other individuals) present on campus to protect my kids. But that was then, and the problem at that time (40 to 50 years ago) was not nearly as prolific. What has changed; guns were just as much available then as now, and more easily acquired?

Decompensation, mental illness seems more pervasive. We, as a society, prescribe psychotropic drugs three times the rate of most western countries, there are more pervasive use of illicit drugs, we have technologies that allow bullying to an extent that never been experienced, we have a media and politicians that do their best to make constituents feel aggrieved (everyone is either oppressed or an oppressor). One only needs to look at the subject of a recent congressional hearing with the tech industry leaders regarding bullying and suicide to see the extent of their influence. There seem to be many influences that my children may have had but are greatly magnified today.

Don't pay too much attention do you. Follow the news about 2-4 months ago I read of a school shooting somewhere in Europe. Granted it does happen way too often here in America. Even once is way too often. But no it is not a yank thing it's a mental sickness thing. https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/school-shootings-by-country

If you read much from jersey chit boy he's a few fries short of a happy meal. You already know that though.

Now that's hilarious krak. You just replied to Dennis. So which is it? You're "not too bright" or "enjoy being insulted".

Could we go for both? He deserves every ASSinine and FOOLish award. Let’s please not deprive him of his winnings.

Probably all good points. But many would say it's about the guns, not the points you bring out here. Are the "get rid of guns" people looking at the wrong things?

Among other things they are looking at Controlling We the People.
