Congratulations. For maybe the very first time I pretty much agree with this writer. It is a shame that people are not the same as when I was in school during the 50’s and 60’s. Back then guns were owned by millions of people just as today but respect for life in general was much greater. Firearms were openly advertised as sporting tools for hunting in popular magazines and movie stars endorsed one firearm or another.
But today, respect for life in America has gone by the wayside. Oh, people jump up and down when there is a school shooting because it is children being shot. They also want to jump on the bandwagon to be against a certain firearm or even specific ammunition. For some reason even though other firearms have been used in mass shootings it is ONLY the AR and AK rifles that are jumped on, that are inherently EVIL as opposed to NICE other guns. For ammunition it is ONLY the 223 and 9mm calibers that carry EVIL genes. Amazing as well as ridiculous.
It is a shame that teachers or anybody in a school should be required to protect students and staff but that is where America stands today. It sounds ridiculous to think our schools should have to be fortified like courthouses to protect occupants but it is necessary. You notice I mentioned courthouses. How sad that is. Courthouses of my youth never needed security at the door. These days they do. Wasn’t it the Black Panthers who killed a judge in Oakland with a shotgun taped to his head when he was taken hostage? Is that correct?
Our society has changed and not in a good way. We need to get back to what is valuable, our Values.

It is the culture. No respect for anybody.
During those Four Bad Years, we were indoctrinated in fake freedoms.
You have the freedom to not wear a mask. Disobey the law. Get what you want. Be a ahole.
Be all the ahole you want to be. And get in other peoples faces about.
The problem with the AR is that it seems to be the weapon of choice amongst these gunmen.
Remington got hit because of their advertising. It looks like that, and doesn't need to.
The "dogooders" wanted a scapegoat, and Remington had a lot of money,
People are jumping up and down because the police, and the right wing government, is evil.
Wasn't the police that killed George Floyd?
And then harassed the school girl who took the video- for two weeks?
Remember the black man killed for selling smokes? And they stalled the judgment for 5 years-
And there were national celebrations! No justice, bonuses abounded, family got nada but bills.
Wasn't the police that killed Breoona- a naked black female? And made up excuses with a 2 year old warrant?
Wasn't the police who tried to kill a black pregnant women trying to protect her (killed) unborn baby?
Didn't we just have that cop arrested for rapes- for over 20 years?
He finally got caught because a rape kit was run before the clerk was told not to.
In Philly. 1 out of 7 cops is on permanent disability. Most have 2nd jobs. Same doctor.
Also in Philly. a cop was arresting for beating a raping as a tool to encourage confessions.
It didn't take long before cases were dropping- he pled the 5th- or negotiated waay down.
Including the all past cases where they knew they convicted the wrong person.
Want respect?
We the people respect that a cop's basic job is to write tickets and arrest us.
We the people respect that a cop can and will shoot at us, for any reason. With immunity and impunity.
We the people respect that the government can send a cop after us for any reason.
We the people don't respect that a cop can't "serve and protect" we the people. Not their job.
Were the police A) waiting for the gunman to run out of bullets, or
B) waiting for the taco truck to show up in Texas?
It was actually a Border Patrol; who finally made it thru the police and shot the guy.
Tho the police did tase a man for talking to his son on the bus,
Want respect? Earn it. Other than your willingness to imprison harm or kill us.
Cause right now, that's all you got.
