I’m sorry, but the numbers are the numbers, & they indicate that gun laws will *not* prevent these things from happening. But there *are* things we *can* do to prevent school shootings, & other mass shootings. Universal (inc. mental) healthcare is a great start. 9/

And I believe we can take a page out of what’s working in commercial flight, where Air Marshals fly while armed, and allow faculty to choose to go through the same background checks and training as Air Marshals, adjusted for schools, then carry concealed. School Marshals. 10/

Because these children are *entitled* to protection from these sick people. And frankly, I believe that many school shootings will be prevented outright just by allowing School Marshals to become reality, even if there aren’t any on most campuses. 11/

Because, as with Air Marshals, nobody would know who is or is not carrying a weapon except for the essential “crew”, and in the case of schools, that would be the Principles and Vice Principles. This is the only way I’ve been able to think of that gives these kids a chance. 12/

And the thing is, Democrats who push this “gun legislation” narrative *must* know these numbers, and if they don’t, they should not be in the business of pushing legislation. If they know these numbers, they know gun laws won’t stop these tragedies. 13/

I suggest that in order to make progress we ISOLATE each topic involved (I.e. Mental Health, AR15's, Gun Laws, Illegal Possession) and LEAVE THE WORDS "DEMOCRAT" and "REPUBLICAN" *OUT*

I disagree. We need to recognize that the parties are both making money off the backs of dead kids. Because it’s true.

I'm not saying they're not. (And that subject is a worthy one to ISOLATE as well!). I just mean the dialogue tends to go NOWHERE because everyone who belongs to A PARTY will DEFEND their party, and the stagnancy will continue.
