    Let’s not get personal guys.

    But yeah, I don’t understand what you're talking about either a lot of the time @GlickenGoshDebate Tactics

    No, it’s not just him. Not trying to be rude at all, but I don’t understand what you’re saying 80-90% of the time either.

    Arm the teachers! :D Yes, because asking underpaid educators to put their lives on the line and go have a shootout with psychos that snap and shoot up schools is a genius plan. So much easier than simply banning one gun, that as far as I can tell serves no purpose to people not in the military or police. You want to protect your home, they sell pistols and shotguns. You want to hunt, they sell hunting rifles. Trump is a moron, and Rubio is pathetic for going after the media on twitter and passing blame/making excuses.

    I’ve done gun training (military, security type work - nothing glamorous).

    I’ve shot AK47s, M-whatevers and such and all kinds of pistols. I even had a gun drawing (is that what it’s called?) training.

    I would run if there was a maniac with automatic assault rifle in a building with me.

    I don't believe teachers need to be armed.

    These mass shooters are cowards. Mentally disturbed cowards, but still cowards nonetheless. That's why they try to target a school full of children instead of targeting a police station.

    Just assign one K9 campus police officer and one bomb sniffing dog. These dogs are typically used to sniff out IED's in warzones, but can also smell gunpowder in bullets if properly trained. They can check lockers, backpacks, etc. The police officer has to provide a distraction for the shooter until the rest of the police force shows up. The Parkland school officer, unfortunately neglected his duties.

    How about the armed deputy that showed up and then didn't go inside to confront the shooter and has now resigned in disgrace and his name is out there?

    Then again any firefight I have ever been in .... in any dream about being in a war .... I never put my head up. Part of the problem is ... honest ... I never can find where the ammo is. Am always like where the hell is any ammo I don't have any. Still if I had any I would not put my head up.

    Then there's the bullets if I ever find one or two and actually shoot .... that come out like lob shots. Zero velocity.

    I bet abeer could take a stab at explaining these. Be gentle. Don't use the c o w a r d word on me.

    Okay, i guess this started It. if cosmo is short for cosmopolitan which words cannot be understood?

    He was not my first choice. I could not see a scenario in which i vote for him in 2016. The reason we got him because the left became arrogant and illiberal. His main selling point is not bowing down to the cosmo bumpkin elite.


    The words or the ideas behind it?

    I just expressed my dislike of the anthems in general. I believe the US has unique characteristics that make it less necessary to have one.

    Yeah, not sure what happened with that deputy... wonder what was going through his mind, but I’m sure the gunfire, hundreds of kids and teachers running and screaming, fear of shooting the wrong kid, accidentally injuring a kid or teacher while engaging, getting killed him self had something to do with it.

    No doubt. But from the top cop looking at the footage of him staying outside maybe what Zen said above was the key reason.

    Trump said he would have ran into the school without a gun.

    I can't...

    Does anyone believe this? This is the same guy who was a draft dodger and is grossed out by the sight of blood.

    I think he believes 100% that he'd do that. Which is sort of scary actually.

    I don't even believe for a moment that Trump is capable of running. I suppose someone could have rolled him down a flight of stairs to get him some momentum to take out the shooter.

    But Donald is better than all of us, of course. He'd run towards the maniac. Even if he was unarmed.

    Just LOL at this point. Embarrassing.

    That is without even mentioning the bright idea he had. Putting some sort of rating on movies, as these clearly influence the youth to be more violent.

    The man skipped the draft for crying out loud, and he's going to run in unarmed vs a man with an AR?

    Trump flinched at someone charging his podium during one of his rallies. Highly doubt this man has ANY balls to do anything himself except tweet about it.
