I agree with you 100% and there are measures in place where that will happen. Right now, we have no idea what "emotional disorder" the person had. Hopefully, that will come out at some point. But for some reason, we don't always get the full info (like Vegas).

There are different circumstances that would keep someone from buying a firearm in regards to mental illness. What I'm saying, which you want to twist it and make it more than it is.... is that I am explaining to you: Just because you're seeing a shrink, that doesn't mean that person has some serious diagnosis that would keep them from owning a firearm. When I got divorced, I was put on anti-depressants and anti-anxiety meds. I was a mess. I saw a psychiatrist for that. People go to those specialists/doctors for a ton of different reasons. Do you not get what I'm trying to explain? Or do you just want to keep making personal jabs at me? If someone has a mental disorder that makes them a threat? By all means... yes... make it to where that person can't get their hands on a firearm.

That doesn't matter... at all. A lot of people see a shrink for various reasons. Doesn't mean they are on benzo's or anything else major. Seeing a LPC, psychiatrist, psychologist, etc. for a disorder shouldn't prevent you from having a constitutional right. Again, most states have laws in place to where if someone is a threat to themselves or someone else... then they are prevented at that point... until they show they are competent to own a firearm.

Just wondering... did you watch the video from Nashville of the loony-tran? It spent a good minute shooting through the front entry way and trying to fit inside the shot out doors. It would have been dead if there was a SRO in the front office. Even if that SRO had a .22LR You don't need AR's, body armor (even though most SRO's/LEO wear them during their duty hours) or helmets. Nurses with combat training? LOL... you're just being silly at this point.

Why does every school need two SROs? How much are you going to pay them? Are you saying there is a price for our kids safety? $75,000,000,000 to Ukraine If we just hire ONE SRO at each school (we will have just one at our HS that has 800 students)... and if that guys number if correct, that would be what? $5 billion a year? That's 15 years of salaries to protect our kids. Why don't you want that @BillStime?

He has no answers other than "ban guns" which will never happen due to a plethora of reasons. That's his only answer. Many of us throw out ideas, but he only goes back to "ban guns" and "no one needs an AR-15". Blah, blah, blah.

No they won't. They'll just move on to what IS ACTUALLY USED in "mass shootings".... handguns. Most shootings are carried out with HANDGUNS. Not rifles. This is so moronic. There is no evidence that anyone at the school was carrying a firearm. The tweets and your reference are about someone on the 911 call claiming "We do have a school person, or two ... I'm not sure ... who would be packing, whose job it is for security." There is no proof, other than that sentence on a 911 call, that any teacher or staff had any firearm... and if they did, they would likely be trained to barricade the door and be 'ready' if someone comes into the room. That's when they would likely use their firearm. Not actively get involved with a CQC shootout with the loon. The ones who lost their lives, they were out in the hall. The rest of the students were locked in their rooms. The 'active shooter training' they did actually saved lives at that school in Nashville. Again, I'm 100% for armed staff who are willing and ready (who are also WELL trained by LEO) and especially for front office staff to be armed. Kid would not have made it into the school if one was.

You realize, the ban really did nothing in regards to changing the lethality of an AR platform rifle? Nothing at all. It changes the aesthetics of the rifle, that's it.

Here’s the thing… I don’t give a ***** if you believe me or not. Have a great evening!

You think I’m lying about my jobs?

I'll do one even better... out of the worst "mass shootings" since 1949: 13 were carried out by semi-automatic rifles (rifles including the Austin bell tower shooter's M1) 17 were carried out by handguns So, ban the AR-15 You're not traumatized?

Orlando, Islamic terrorist also used a handgun. Va Tech, worst school shooting in American history, used two handguns (9mm and .22LR), you know this. We've gone over it a million times. And the 1994 "assault weapon ban" didn't do anything to change any effectiveness of the AR platform. Having a "birdcage" muzzle vs no muzzle changes NOTHING.

Oh wow, personal attack again. Weird, I've never done that to you. I took a position at the High School I work for after a friend passed away (who was doing this job) and they needed to fill the void. I started last year and enjoyed it so much, I signed another contract. As a mental health counselor, I am basically an independent contractor and have to pay for my own health insurance. Working at the school I get AMAZING health benefits. So I have the best of both worlds and I'm happy. BTW: A lot of people who work in education work two jobs. I do it because I want to, not because I have to.

I'll fit that in with two jobs (I see my patients between 3:30 and 7 p.m. after I finish at the high school), driving 40 mins to and from work and spending time with my fiancée. It's actually not a bad idea if I want to work on my Ph.D. someday.

Which is? I interact with HUNDREDS of kids a day at a high school. I've asked TONS of kids that question... especially after something like what happened in Nashville. Those questions are mainly focused around how we can make our school safer. What's interesting, only teachers/staff feel "unsafe" at times. Again, never a student in regards to a school shooter possibly happening. They simply don't worry. Maybe it our culture in Oklahoma? We aren't afraid of tornadoes either, despite the fact we are in the middle of Tornado Alley.

Just read the whole article. Maybe the link you posted, that version doesn't have the "AR-15" included... maybe I just can't see it. Could you point out to where it says these schools were on lockdown due to the AR-15? Thanks for any help Funny, I don't care what you believe 👍

Guess we can actually add that to the automobile deaths... since those are accidents/deaths caused by deer.

100% accurate. These are total deaths (all ages) by something other than things like "falling" (which claims the lives of 32,000 Americans per year).

Show me any example where a school closed because of "fear of the AR-15". I've asked COUNTLESS kids the question, "Do you ever worry someone might come into the school and shoot?" I've NEVER got a yes. Ever. Now my youngest said she was worried about a guy, who ended up getting kicked out of school, about 4 years ago at her HS. But no kid has ever told me they are scared of a school shooter. Would be like asking us if we were worried the Russians and nukes after we did a nuclear bomb drill. Or if we are scared of a tornado. (WAY more likely to die in a tornado hitting our school than someone coming in and shooting it up)

So, it's not the number of people killed... it's also people being "traumatized" by AR-15's? Hold on a second... Okay... I didn't know schools closed this week because they are "scared of the AR-15". You sure schools (whatever schools you're talking about, no idea) aren't scared of a someone with any gun? Just the AR-15. Right?

Drugs: 109,000 Alcohol: 104,000 Automobile: 37,500 Handguns: 63,00 Blunt Objects: 1,600 Knives: 1,500 Boats: 660 Fists/Hands: 600 Airplanes: 380 AR-15/All Rifles: 360 Shotguns: 200 Deer: 120 Dogs: 60 Ban the AR-15. Save lives.

Goodfella's! “You still have a lot of time to make yourself be what you want. There’s still lots of good in the world. Tell Dally. I don’t think he knows.”

I live in Southern Oklahoma, on 30 acres. There are no "shooting clubs" in my hometown and two ranges... one is just an open range that has no hours other than sun up to sunset, no range officers. It's just a berm with a bench 100 yards away. The other is our local junior college and they have it because of their gunsmithing program (one of the best in the country). Most people shoot outside their homes or at a friends/neighbors. Don't go to ranges. Yep! I actually have my own range set up next to my house.

How would you suggest the government and LEO goes about rounding up the 20,000,000+ AR's in America?

Wait, firearms are #2 now? It's astounding the obsession you people have for Trump.
