Wanna know why young people (Gen Z to those not even born yet) have a different opinion of guns than us who had/saw gun racks in trucks at school?

Well, here it is in a simple and short video.

Subjecting kids to traumatic experiences for later political gain.

Clever.

Clever.

School districts don't make kids do shooter drills for political gain. That's ridiculous.

There have been at least 53 school shootings in the United States so far this year, as of September 19. Sixteen of those were on college campuses and the remaining 37 were on K-12 school grounds. The incidents have left at least 27 people dead and more than 56 injured

School shootings are pretty traumatic.


Your answer is don’t teach kids how to potentially survive them?

School shootings are a very real and present danger to our children.

School districts don't make kids do shooter drills for political gain. That's cheerleaders.

Maybe I'm confused because the political gain supposedly accruing from the drills is being gloated over.

There are entire generations of children and now adults that have spent THEIR ENTIRE LIVES living with the very real danger of DYING IN THEIR CLASSROOMS.

And we - as a country - have failed in stopping it.

Are people allowed to change someone's post on this site to alter the meaning of the person's comment? That doesn't seem very sporting.

We've been over this. The drills involving students aren't really viewed as particularly useful by many experts. I mean...what is
accomplished by including the students- especially the younger ones- that can't be achieved by training the teachers?

Why do we do fire drills?

The last time any number of students died in a school fire was 1958.

The last time students died in a school shooter incident was just earlier this month.

Here's your post:

If "ridiculous" was replaced with "cheerleading" on my end (and that is entirely possible) it was inadvertent and perhaps due to my laggy phone.

My response stands, unaddressed.

Didn't answer my question. Is the response to a fire the same as the response to an active shooter?

Umm, sure, it makes perfect sense that your phone autocorrected "ridiculous" to "cheerleaders". Have a good one.

Gloating is exactly the message in the OP.

I didn't say it autocorrected, did I? Any honest rebuttals to my post, or is this going to be the extent of your participation?

I think @CaughtInThe 's point is that
we have an entire generation of children terrorized at
gun point and we need to do something about THE GUN PROBLEM

Next up he will advocate the way to stop school shooters is to arm all the teachers, all the time.

How does the unborn or even a toddler for that matter have an opinion on the matter?
And how is asking that yes or no question a determination of an opinion?
Hell, some may hunt with dad. What's their opinion?

By the way, the boy and girl in the lower left corner didn't raise their hands.

I got that impression which is why I bowed out. Life's too short to argue with gun lovers who alter your comment and blame their cheap phone.

“I’ve had several kids who have been involved with school shootings […] and then they have to do lockdowns. And that’s really, really hard. Talk about a triggering event, when you’ve been in a school that might have had a school shooting, and then you return to school and you’d have to keep practicing these drills,” Rappaport said.

When a counter argument is “well, doing drills is trauma for kids that have already been a part of an active shooter situation”…eh…perhaps the drills aren’t the problem.


Our kids wouldn’t have to DO active shooter drills if dying during an active shooter situation wasn’t a real and present danger for them, now would they?

2nd Amendment champions have two choices:

1. Figure out how to support practical laws that balance action to reduce gun violence while still hewing to the spirit of the 2nd Amendment

2. Watch the 2nd Amendment handily repealed in 20 to 30 years.

Their choice, really.

What would make you think that, other than an unwarranted confidence in your predictive abilities?
