the specious theory of the GOP/MAGA party is that by
allowing everyone, EVERYONE including people with mental
problems to have guns is that a “good” person with a gun will
stop ''bad" people, by shooting them… the GOP/MAGA answer
to everything is violence… a viable solution for them is
“good” people shooting ‘‘bad’’ people…
and yet events prove them wrong…
at that Texas school, there were three security personnel
that had guns, and yet that didn’t stop the boy from killing
19 children… the police, trained personnel refused to enter
the building for over an hour, for fear of being shot…
that they could hear the boy shooting children and still
they did nothing for their fear of being shot…
and the GOP/MAGA CROWD hopes to fool you into
thinking if only the teacher had a gun… and yet,
the police, trained personnel refused to go into that
classroom, should tell you everything you need to know
about the value of having a gun… the police themselves
don’t believe that having a gun will protect them,
why should we believe that having a gun will protect us?
think about this… even trained personnel don’t believe a gun will
protect them… the entire argument of the cowardice GOP/MAGA
crowd depends on you believing in something, that the police
don’t even believe in…
It sounds like the father of the shooter was a Democrat that didn’t approve of guns.
So the kid was raised by a Democrat that didn’t like weapons.
This kid was a product of a Democrat.
You know what happens when kids rebel against their parents? They do the exact opposite of what their parents would do, and in this case they go buy a gun and shoot it up!
Maybe if he was educated by his parents about responsible gun handling this would never have happened. Who knows. What we do know is that his father didn’t like weapons and couldn’t be around them.
Ignorance killed the cat!
The mother said:
She just wants to be forgiven by the dead children.
“He had his reasons for doing what he did. Please don’t judge him.”
I WILL judge him, “He was a cowardice P.O.S that killed innocent children.” Put that on his tombstone!
K: read the article and at no point, AT NO POINT, was
the father’s political party revealed… it is just another
assumption… in the U.S, quite a few Hispanics are actually
conservatives, republicans… but we don’t know…
and secondly, how does the father’s political party,
which we don’t know, influence the son’s killing
19 children… I could just as easily make the argument
that the father was a conservative as many Hispanics are,
and the son was just following in the father’s footstep…
one of the assumptions here is that because the father,
backdating by the way, he is against guns, that automatically
means he is a democrat… I know many conservatives, republicans
who hate the gun culture…believe in one or the other, doesn’t mean
much…
K: and answered. I said, I DON’T KNOW…
but interestedly enough, over 25% of all Hispanics, vote GOP/CONSERVATIVE
and in FLA, in the last presidential, Cuban/American’s voted
GOP, 56% to 26%… you are assuming that because he was
Hispanic, he must vote democratic…
I was quoting what the father said, which was that he did not approve of guns and couldn’t be around them.
If we are to believe that then it stands to reason that he didn’t educate his son on the proper handling and responsibilities of handling a gun. He did not educate his son on gun safety.
Ignorance killed the cat!
…and since you doubt he was a Democrat how about you find out for us all so we can all know what he was?
K: a whole lot of assumptions in your post… I never said either way if he is
democratic or GOP, that is your assumption. and it is an assumption that
he did or didn’t “educate” his son on gun safety, we don’t know…
and I will not play your game of making the arguments for you…
make an argument because I will not make your arguments for you…
I am from the UK. We are not educated when it comes to firearms.
What is there to learn?
“Listen son, I don’t approve of guns. You will notice I don’t have one in the house. However, let me tell you this - if you point a gun at someone, and pull the trigger - you, my son, will cause harm, possibly death.”
“Is it okay to go into a school, and shoot lots of children, dad?”
“Oh son, it’s a pity we don’t have a gun around. I would show you why that is not okay.”
Sorry, MD, not impressed with your argument.
Could this disaster have been avoided? Of course it could!
Quote from the UK newspaper:
[b][i]However, there were warning signs online.
There was the Instagram picture of a hand holding a gun magazine, a TikTok profile that warned: “Kids be scared,” and the image of two military-style semi-automatic assault rifles displayed on a rug, pinned to the top of the killer’s Instagram profile.[/i][/b]
Instead of a blind fascination with guns, and a target of kids in a school, he could have been at a range shooting paper targets, or legally hunting Whitetail Deer. He could have shot his weapon at paper or deer instead of innocent children.
If properly instructed and educated on weapons, he could have been on his way to being the next greatest marksman in competition. His time would have been spent learning about his weapons, ballistics, etc.
He would have had a hobby which could have lead to great things.
Instead he was uneducated, had too much time on his hands, and conjured up some plan to kill.
K: reread what you said honestly, and you will see it for what it is,
delusional…I say that because you are clearly not a parent and most likely
very young…
…or it could be that I am a parent and instructed my son on the proper use of weapons. It could be that I used to teach firearms safety in the Army, and that I used to run a qualification range for M16’s.
K: reread what you said HONESTLY…you are nowhere near reality in
the above statement… pretending children are little robots that
follow directions, that isn’t reality… that if only he had a hobby,
he never would have shot 21 people… really? If Hitler only had
a hobby, he never would have organized the deaths of millions…
If only he had a hobby, Charles Manson wouldn’t have killed anyone…
why that is all we have to do to make the world a safer place,
make sure everyone has a hobby… right?
that is clearly the path to utopia… right?
