    I agree with the NRA...in the sense that our schools should have TIGHT security. And I agree that the FBI made a huge error. Fixing these things should be *part* of the solution. We need overlapping solutions.https://www.thedailybeast.com/if-he-wanted-to-trump-could-actually-solve-the-gun-problem …

        ...if Cruz couldn’t have entered that school ...if Cruz couldn’t have purchased a gun until he was 21 ...if Cruz’s dad had still been around ...if the FBI had followed up on this tip... If... We can’t rely on any one fix saving us. We need a multi-pronged approach.

        Aside from changing the subject, Wayne LaPierre’s main strategy is to suggest that any gun control is part of a plan to confiscate ALL guns. He knows that if you believe this slippery slope argument, you will have to oppose even common sense reforms.

        If your kids have to go to school under armed guards, then perhaps you've lost the plot and should relent.

        But making schools more like prisons is not the solution. It’s a bandaid. It doesn’t solve the problem.

        This seems about right. There is no one solution. There are several tracks (mental health, school security and gun control) that need to be done together. None is perfect on it own and several have other problems, but what we are doing now clearly is not working.

        Where does this TIGHT security stop. Are we going to HARDEN shopping malls, movie theaters, parks, etc. Can the sale of certain weapons also be part of the discussion of this layered approach.

        We're losing American bit by bit by bit. What a tragedy. But all empires eventually die so was inevitable.

        The FBI? In comparison to local police coming 39 times? Scott passing 6 different gun laws and constantly making it easier to carry weapons? Trump rescinding the mental EO Obama had? Partisan hack much?

        And ban military style weapons from the civilian population. If someone wants to operate machine guns, they need to join the military.

        Correct. But there won't be any sensible solutions so long as people who advocate for sensible solutions that might actually work are told they don't care about kids and support killers.

        Only way to have "tight" security in a school is to build them like prisons. Agreeing with the nra is agreeing with a terrorist organization.

        It’s just about machine guns & mental health. It’s so god damn simple.

        My kids elem. tried “hardening” the school last year. Turns out it was nearly impossible to pick your kid up after school (think tired, working parents) cause no one could man the camera/buzz-in system for 4 hours straight. This ain’t practical.
