"I think if we really want school safety, the very serious idea is having trained individuals in schools with concealed weapons because that will certainly deter potential attackers," Deputy Press Secretary Raj Shah says http://cbsn.ws/2CEEdoQ pic.twitter.com/ZcrHGH6G9R
In other words, we're not for gun control (limiting which guns are available), but we will try people control (limiting who can have them). People control is expensive, intrusive, and doesn't work well. Gun control is far easier and has been proven to work in many countries.
Don't get suckered by this. While we should try to prevent the wrong people from getting guns, the only effective gun control actually limits guns. We don't have the means of assessing a person's mental health reliably enough to prove in court he shouldn't own guns.
Stay in Canada. Your opinion matters not.
Neither does yours. But you're stuck living there.
These are the sickest people an administration has ever know #BanAssaultWeaponsNow
Again they arent listening to students, families or the rest of us...I cant wait to vote mid terms
Ban assault rifles. It's pretty simple.
His mental illness is not the point, Raj. The point is that a mentally ill young man with a handgun could not have killed 17 students.
Anytime a reactive solution is suggested to stop mass slaughter, I know the NRA's agenda is being pushed. We need serious proactive gun laws, including banning assault weapons, high capacity mags, bump stocks, etc. It will take single-issue votes.
This is... not likely to be as effective as they make it sound.
Hmmm
kind of like the Executive Order of Obama’s that Trump reversed. Obviously Trump felt that the mentally defective needed to buy more guns then.
GOP NOT DOING THEIR JOBS
Mentally Ill shooters won’t care about teachers, janitors or kitchen staff with guns, they expect to die anyway.
Since Colombine the dem answer has been ban guns, ban nra, to every school shooting. Insanity is doing the same thing, expecting same results. Let's try something else.
Please directly answer - why not ban assault weapons, only? Not speaking of any other type of weapon. Please. An honest answer.
