Having kids carry a bullet proof backpack? That should not be a solution at all!!! I can't believe that we have even come to that point.
Possible solutions: require better firearm storage, require gun registration (like car registrations), make guns harder to get. This won't end school shootings, but we could at least try to change something!
None of what you suggest will do ***** Backpacks might save a life.

How come in the 70's we carried rifles and pistols in our pick up's in high school…….. we had no registration…….guns much easier to get then than now…..
And we never had school shootings….
We can pass 1000 more gun laws but we will never legislate our way to morality.
The issue is the hands holding the guns and the people attached to those hands.

The inate selfishness, ultimately muted evil, in all humans is often left out of this discussion. It should be front and center. In the history of humanity there are zero examples of power left unchecked that does not migrate to opression. That is what we humans do, period.
These shootings are terrible. They are evil. Removing citizens means to defend does not make the evil go away. It does create an imbalance that fosters opression. The power structure will expand that opression over time (10 years from now or 100) and there you are staring evil in the face again. To say "the founding fathers did'nt know what 2024 would look like and therfore we should throw out the second amenedment" is short sighted (ironic indeed). They did'nt formulate the idea based on how they thought humanity would advance. They formulated the idea based on what they knew about humans which has not changed, we are capable of very bad things.
The second amendment is designed to limit a power structure from doing very bad things on a massive scale. It also provides an imperfect means of protection from aggression on your life or private propert by your naughty neighbor. Because it is imperfect we also put laws on the books to discourage such behaviour. Exposing yourself to the power structure in hopes that your neigbor will only be able to punch or stab you is not the way.
Keeping guns out of the hands of bad people is a healthy discussion. Believeing you will remove guns from society and fix the problem is naive. Trusting your government has your interest at heart by proposing such measures is a mistake.-- Hdt. 9.122.3Quote:

They would be foolish not to. It only becomes harder to reverse a tyranny once all disarmed. Go for Yugoslavia trial before North Korea every time.Baseball Is Life said:Esteban du Plantier said:BurnetAggie99 said:

I could point to countless examples of kids being raised by online communities that fill their heads with hate. They don't find belonging in life but they can find it online. And in certain dark spaces it is especially harmful. There are very few (if any) online communities that express more love than hate. And even places like this board aren't exempt from that.

Do that many people listen to podcasts, I mean, really listen?
Podcasts get linked all the time on TexAgs, and the posters say YOU MUST LISTEN TO THIS!
I open the link, and it's boring hosts droning on for two or three hours.
No thanks

16yo daughter has a female friend who for the past year or so has insisted on being called he/him in spite of appearing to like boys. The topic came up again last night, and our daughter is confused because previously butch female friend has flipped to being "hot Cheetos girl". She is kind of done with high maintenance friends who do things to get attention. A life lesson in how to pick friends.

You said kids are messed up now a days. You have a kid. I just assumed you are admitting you messed up your kid since kids are messed up these days.

Considering the degree the MSM drives the whole shooter hype and 10/15 minutes of fame, that is probably closer to the truth. We don't need to hear constantly about crimes and greivances in distant cities. Dallas police died for an non-sequitur having nothing to do with the city but up in MN in 2016. That's a product of the "nationalization" of the negative.

Fascinating what-if, and one of the best ones for provoking fresh thought have heard in a while.

If you could also somehow show them visuals like below, I would like to see what safeguards they would implement to help preserve American culture and traditional morals/values. Hell, I'd just like to see the looks on their faces. I would not even tell them that almost all 2024 liberals support men playing against women in sports and showering/changing with them after...or that we are lopping the breasts off 13 yr old girls of blocking childrens' puberty.

I think the Founders had a pretty good idea just how evil our Constitution in the hands of an immoral people could be. They had a front row seat to the French Revolution, including Robespierre, the Cult of Reason, the Cult of the Supreme Being, and the guillotine.El Gallo Blanco said:This...while they did give us the below warning/disclaimer...they could have never predicted the dishonest, wicked and depraved nature of the modern progressive.

Rule for the Wise. Avoid, if at all possible, having a wedding or major personal ceremony on a holiday or day of significance like one's own birthday. If it later becomes a wash-out or a negative event, that holiday for every year after is thus damaged if not ruined in enjoyment.
