When I say out of touch, when you’re worth 10’s of millions of dollars, sure someone like him can be a voice because he has a platform. However it’s not like him or anyone else of his stature would ever have to send his kids to a school where something like this would happen

To make matters worse there is outright bureaucratic negligence when it comes to Gov policy that allows dangerous individuals to continuously walk through Grand Canyon sized cracks in public safety.

All states have their own unique laws and in each state you have all the different branches of the military, individual state and municipal law enforcement, health authorities, and offices for the various alphabet agencies and organizations. Multiply that by 50 and know there's no way for them to all talk to each other and centrally flag all the people who shouldn't have access to firearms for criminal or health reasons... and then disseminate that information to ALL firearms dealers nationwide! The background checks are a joke in most US states (if they even have them) and are often easy to skirt. That's why almost all of these mass shooters were already "known to police" or "known to X authority" prior to them popping off but nothing was done to stop them. The fact that these revelations come out postmortem every time is fucking disgusting and that blood pools at the feet of all politicians on all sides of the isles both state and federal. They're up to their knees in it. They have been taught the lesson over and over and over and done NOTHING tangible since 1999.

What kind of 18 year old blows away his own grandmother then decides to go in to an elementary school and shoot random children? It's just fucking sick.

Sorry I don’t know how to post a Reddit video. Fox News gives 50 suggestions in 24 hours, not one of them are gun control

The states are soo fucked up right now but "if" i was living down there and the only 2 options were for the teacher of my kids to armed or not. I would picked them to be armed. I already trust my kids to be taken care of and taught by teachers 8hrs a day 5 days a week. The teacher is the last line of defence for my kids staying safe. Thats if i was living in the US though. Thankgod i dont.

Arming teachers make zero sense. Imagine dropping your kids off knowing every grown up carry a gun. Also, what would a pistol do when these shooters carry a rifle??
