Okay to feed off of spooph he's correct. We have to deal with the problems. Not the tools.
One of the things that seems to make these guys do this is the simple fame. Making headlines. Striking fear into the houses of all parents. One thing I will never understand is the lack of security for our children. Walmart even has security. Malls. Everywhere. Yet in elementary schools or preschools or even highschools the security is very relaxed.
By making these gun free zones we need to apply some form of security. Training for these events. Its been shown over and over again that as soon as these guys meet force the situation ends. Usually by the gunman's own hand.
With that knowledge why do we only have maybe one cop in these schools? They should never be left defenseless.
I have said this before and I'm going to say it again. With the unemployment in our vets these days why don't we put them to work? They were good enough to fight for our freedoms and protect our rights and they are good enough to protect our future.
Also we need to really take a look at our war on drugs. Its a complete waste of time and effort for law enforcement. They have much better things to be doing with their time than busting minor possession charges.
And to top it off we really need to look at helping these people that think walking into a school and killing is okay. What makes their brain tic the way it does.
Sad part to all these. We may never find the true reason for this. We walk around in our bubbles and ignore the fact that pure evil does walk among us.
The idea that we live in a civilized society is just a dream. The truth? Every two minutes someone in this country is raped. On average 50 people are murdered every day in this country. Extremists from all walks of life want to kill normal people. Mentally ill people attack random individuals with provocation.
In the real world outside our little bubbles life is a crazy violent place. People kill. People take what they want. People do what they want. No law will ever stop this.
We can't reason with evil because evil has no reason. Its sad but this world isn't all rainbows and sunshine. The more we try to hide from it the harder it will slap us in the face.
Stay safe out there. People are crazy. Educate yourself in self-defense. Don't be a victim. And most of all don't rely on someone else to keep you safe. When seconds count the police are just minutes away.
