A 'Merican response to school shootin's

I guess you guys are not understanding the question. Okay let’s try again.

The government at a courthouse for example says that No Guns are allowed at the building and you have to go through metal detectors to strip you of anything dangerous. In the mean time all the government employees there such as police get to keep their guns.

‘Why are you okay with that and not okay when congress says “Let’s limit some guns”?

Haha. You‘re kinda like Pavlov’s dog where you’re distracted with a piece of red meat to minimize your thinking.

Because the courthouse is a limited access area, and you are only giving up your gun for a finite period of time... just while you are in the courthouse.
When Congress limits "some guns" it is forever, for everyone, for anywhere.

and, if you think that Congress would only limit "some guns" once they get rolling, you weren't paying attention in school.

Back in the 70's, 80's the push was to eliminate/take away the terrible "Saturday Night Specials"... another made-up classification. They even wrote songs about it.. then it was "high capacity magazines", and then the "assault rifle"... spend some time and research what our government classified as "assault rifles".... it included .22 autoloading rifles, hunting shotguns, autoloading pistols... thankfully, that insanity didn't last.

THAT is the problem... when the government gets a taste, they want the whole thing....

Why do you think that Japan did not invade the United States after Pearl Harbor?

Okay sir thank you for your answer. You’re one of the few here in this topic who gives a thoughtful answer while understanding the question.
So time is the reason then. People are okay giving up their guns for a little time but not for a long time.

People are okay giving up their guns for a little time but not for a long time.. not exactly

No? You wanna tell me more?

Nope you can figure it out . Playing mind games gets boring very quick.

Do you not understand the first reason for the 2nd amendment is to keep the government at bay . I dont want some person who can well afford bodyguards taking my guns. Those slime balls in congress need to go away, .

IF you are not willing to understand why the court cops need weapons you need lots of help.

I'm just curious, Cain killed Abel with a rock, people are still stoned to death today. David killed Goliath with a rock for that matter. Should we outlaw rocks? Al-Qaida uses swords to behead people, and knives are used to murder as well. Should we outlaw all knives? Alcohol and cars are used to kill people world wide. Should be outlaw both cars and alcohol? Children die from accidentally ingesting household chemicals. Should we outlaw cleaning products?

I don't know or claim to know what the answers are, but if blaming guns is the answer, then we need to start blaming a whole lot of other things, also.
Back to my garden now, where things make sense. Peace!!

Guns are different because the primary intent is to cause quick death. Any random object can be used to cause death, like a pen or pillow, but it is not their primary intent. Several items like brass knuckles (used to punch and disfigure) and certain gang knives are banned. I think we can all agree on brass knuckles being banned. Molotov cocktails and probably bombs are banned; their primary intent is to kill and cause damage. These type of items and guns, at least certain types of guns, fall in the same category.

Where did a homeless, jobless, 18 yr old that didn't know how to drive get the money to buy two ARs plus ammo? Where does he get a cool 3 grand and a lift to the store to go get them? We didn't start having this issue until recent history, what changed? This didn't happen in the 50s all the way up until Columbine. What has changed? That is where you will find the solution.

I understand what you are saying, but you forget that none of those things are guaranteed to us under our Constitution. The main purpose for the 2nd amendment is to ensure that the general population is allowed to own firearms that are basically on par with military weapons, in the event that our government goes rogue and tries to enslave the population. In that event, nearly every citizen should be able to take up arms and prevent that from happening.

The programming goes deep.

So the NRA meetings have metal detectors then, to block people from bringing knives and pressure cookers.
‘Maybe we need metal detectors in schools then, to discourage the usage of these “tools”?
