    Thoughts and prayers.

    Stupid libtards don' realize the republicans will fix this and make America great again like they did with the wall, Obamacare, Isis and everything else great they've done. GDP! Muslims! Foreigners! Yay!

    The usual suspects have shown up, they are exactly why we can't have a rational discussion about gun control.

    At least here in TX they already are there and aren’t going anywhere for some time.

    Also many of the same construction companies hired to build prisons also build schools.

    And we don’t even have it necessarily talk gun control. Fine... you are that passionate about guns fine. You have a hard on for AR15’s more power to you.

    Tell me what other great ideas you have then. If doing nothing is your plan cause “humans will be humans” then you simply are a POS and I’m sorry but it is being complicit.

    What does that have to do with anything? I reckon they also built apartments and offices too.

    I do believe you have completely misconstrued my thinkings.

    The point was to the poster that schools already closed off secure structures with high security. It’s certainly not Alcatraz but schools already are doing a lot but it’s not all on them and the teachers.

    Why would I care? Stopped reading after this.

    What's the point of a cop patrolling their beat? Most people love having cops around as neighbors or where ever. Trained protection.

    This horse has been beaten since the 99er First Men set foot on this forum. What else is there to discuss?

    You said people can’t have a rational conversation about this topic.

    I said forget the topic (liberals hyperventilating about gun control). If you don’t want to talk gun control fine, what others brilliant ideas do folks have other than thoughts and prayers? I’m willing to talk about anything but I take a pretty hard stance on doing nothing.

    Not sure what is so confusing about my response.

    Why change anything? What we are doing as a society is working so well.

    It doesn't matter, we can't even agree on regulating who can own guns, much less what kinds of guns they can own.

    Who said anything about not wanting to change anything?

    You asked why we can't have a real discussion. I am only reminding you we have dozens of threads on this topic. Plenty of discussion has been had.

    Makes me feel like
    Don't forget metal detectors at all stores, restaurants, apt complexes of more that four units, parking garages, businesses of more that two employees etc. . We will then have full employment..

    We must at all costs make America great for gun manufacturers.

    What do you propose?

    I say: ban handguns, Step 1 (I know that nobody will actually agree with me). Step 2: serious, national, background checks and waiting periods; then Step 3? What is tolerable to the NRA crowd? Registration? Licensing? I've got a bunch o' guns, none of this bothers me, and I'm cool with whatever makes the people safer.

    Lol wut?
    I don't think "Space Ghost" has actually paid attention to threads on this topic over the years if he/she thinks it's difficult or impossible to find more than one person on this forum who doesn't think better gun control is needed(even sans a ban on specific types).
    All one has to do is read this thread and it's easy to pick out the usual suspects. With their nonsense about "world being dangerous...humans killing...blah blah blah". Yet they forget that no 1st world country in the world has a problem like this.

    You know what is messed up. You are not old(18yrs) enough to drink in Florida but are old enough to own an AR 15. On one hand the state doesn't think you are responsible to have a beer but here you go you can have a semi automatic rifle. Anyone else think that is ****ed up?

    I was listening to the talk radio blowhard (insert your favorite name) while I was in the car tonight and he was going on and on about how this was evil and you can't stop evil. Welp, there ya go. Talk to y'all at the next massacre, won't be long I'm sure.
