Several children dead after 'active shooter' incident at elementary school

[Dutch Uncle]

I wonder if we can have gun lockers for each classroom and they can only be opened with maybe fingerprint identification by the staff? Or they are opened by the security that monitors with cameras?

There's also the matter of training and maintaining proficiency. The FFDO program arms airline pilots. https://www.tsa.gov/for-industry/training

Do you think mental issues is the cause of all mass shootings in America?

Shootings like this? Yes. Jared Loughner, Adam Lanza, Nikolas Cruz, James Holmes, James Hodgkinson and Payton Gendron were all known to have mental issues prior to committing mass murder. I have no doubt Salvador Ramos was equally known to have issues.

Why aren't mental health checks as common as annual physicals and vaccinations?

 

[Dutch Uncle]

Possibly. I'd want to know if he was under psychiatric care.

The thing looks wayyy too convenient for gun grabbers.

There's no conspiracy, no deep state bullshit. It's more like "no state bullshit" in that Ramos was made some threats and nothing was done because our laws don't allow it.

How do you know? More oppressive laws is not the answer.

Murder has been illegal pretty much forever, Dutchy.

Try watching or reading the news, Matt. Ramos had made threats on Facebook about the school. I have no doubt his friends knew he was "off". Maybe his grandmother too since he shot her first.

No shit, Matt. Try pulling your head out of your ass for a change and try to keep up with the conversation. The problem is inadequate mental health services and supporting legislation. You want the Libs to ban guns because you refuse to consider the bigger problem.

You're just cherry-picking who you want killed, you poor pathetic repressed sociopath.

Who do you think I want killed, Ms. Moon?

Hint:

 

[Matt Dillon]

Reopen the Mental Hospitals.

That'd stop 90% of the mass shootings right there.

Hey, the NRA summit is this weekend. Ted Cruz it's going. It's less than 300 miles from where those kids and teachers were just massacred. They're going to have some party in Houston this weekend. Good for Cruz - hopefully he'll have more fun than he did when he ran away to Cancun and then ran back like a little bitch.

Fuck I hate Republicans right now. Southern ones are the worst.

And I have a suggestion for a their first customer - you.

..and suicides. Most mass shootings are murder/suicide anyway. Why not just skip to the mental health care first?

It would be part of a national healthcare plan; part of everyone's annual physical or whenever a problem is noted.

That's nice, honey.

I can actually agree with you on that, Dutchy.

you think there should be a mandatory mental health assessment for everyone on an annual basis?

 

[Coolred44]

If mental health is the common reason behind mass shootings then why do men predominantly turn to mass killing and not women?

 

[Dutch Uncle]

I can actually agree with you on that, Dutchy.

I support improving the rights and freedoms of all Americans, not restricting them with one-size-fits-all laws like the Federalists and the Democrats keep pushing upon us.

Men also commit the most suicides. I think it's more of a cultural phenomena but can't rule out genetic influences.

https://afsp.org/suicide-statistics/

• The rate of suicide is highest in middle-aged white men.
• In 2020, men died by suicide 3.88x more than women.
• On average, there are 130 suicides per day.
• White males accounted for 69.68% of suicide deaths in 2020.
• In 2020, firearms accounted for 52.83% of all suicide deaths.

I think it should be part of everyone's medical health plan just like free vaccinations.

Are you afraid you and a lot of your friends won't pass?
