Not really. Not this topic. The minute you move past "thoughts and prayers" it goes downhill pretty quick. I'm just waiting for the Info Wars exclusive on how this was staged by the CIA.

Unfortunately, with these incidents happening at the rate that they do, the next one is already happening before the shock of the one before subsides. I may come at this from a different angle. We lost our son about six weeks ago. For me, this is a time that is all about the shock and tragic losses....and prayers for the loved ones left behind. Regardless of whether the issue is guns, drugs, texting and driving, DUI’s, etc. right now is about the families to me. I’ll let others determine how to handle their lives, emotions, comments and opinions. I just know that for these families it’s all about surviving the now....and I’ll be praying for them.

Misterbluesky Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 It's pretty obvious the security guard was occupied at the point of entry.Also..once again..bad kids do bad things.The parents are partially to blame as well...Florida truly is a cesspool.

apuszczalowski Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Meh, what are you going to do? No body wants to actually do anything about the issue You can never talk about it cause its never the right time All anyone wants to do is pray for the victims and blame it on the new scapegoat of "mental health issue" You can keep praying and pushing off the real issues while refusing to not talk about it cause its not the time or place to talk Its just going to keep happening and about all you really can do is get used to it and accept it as the new norm.....

Meh? Nobody wants to do anything? Maybe I’m off here, but 6-8 hours later is just time to feel for the families. But I won’t pretend to have any real answers, just my sick gut reaction.

This is incredibly short-sighted man We don't know anything about the shooter yet, and that information that would be coming out very quickly is likely going to be wrong. We don't know if you have taken the guns legally or illegally. If you obtain the guns illegally then there's a good chance that it wouldn't matter, a 99% chance it wouldn't matter what new laws you wanted. Unless people want to do away with the 2nd Amendment, and those are probably the stupidest people around the world... Literally Society is better off with those people going and jumping off a cliff, but I digress... You live in this country with the freedoms afforded by the Constitution and you have no goddamn right to B word about it. You just can't take parts of the Constitution, the fundamental groundwork on this country and do away with parts of it because some don't agree. The federal government is !@#$ed enough. I know you are not, but I know there are plenty who are. Edited February 15, 2018 by Boyst62 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's all pray, hide our head in sand and whistle out our arse. It will get better. It really will! Forward! Yeah, but this thread should be void of politics and full of news.

thebug Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 You !@#$ers need more guns. I don’t have time to discuss this right now, so maybe we can get into it in a couple of weeks after the next mass shooting. Question....when was the 2nd amendment written and what types of weapons existed? 47 minutes ago, Boyst62 said: Actually, sorry to take away from your feels...

Augie Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I see things are tending to focus on the gun issue and politics. I pray for the families. The other issues belong in a more appropriate place. That’s just me. I’ve been scolded for MUCH less than this crap. I can’t believe this even exists here. It’s pretty confusing.
