Of course, it is their job. But if there are several people backing out of what they signed up for, you have to wonder why. Sure it is low, maybe 4 out of 100 but that is still something that should be looked at. If we can be 4% more effective at stopping this stuff, it could make the difference between the school officer going in or not. Honestly maybe we should arm them with custom AR-15s but then again, there is no difference between that and a standard issue pistol apparently. Doesn't quite add up.
Yeah looks like firearm homicides are on the decline so I would venture to say things have been getting safer even with mass shootings becoming more common. I know Baltimore is a mess but the rest of the country has actually been doing pretty solidly in terms of crime. And no, there isn't much room for messing with statistics based on weapon used during homicide. Someone either died or didn't and they either have bullet wounds or they don't.
I agree enforcing current laws would help, it would actually be doing something as opposed to blaming mass shootings on anything but guns and whining about how it is being politicized(although the second a terrorist does something, that should always be politicized). But when you guys have the house, senate, and president and have failed to ban bump stocks which even the NRA supported, hard for me to be optimistic you guys would even try to enforce the current laws. Would it really be hard to let people in the justice system know to be harder on people when the executive branch(you know, the one tasked with enforcing current laws) is controlled by Republicans? As for the NRA, when they are worried that people who are on the terrorism watch list may not be able to access guns, it makes it really hard for me to take anything they say seriously whatsoever.
To be fair I said breitbart comment sections and I brought them up to say they are far right. First thing wiki uses to describe breitbart is that they are far right. Even breitbart would probably tell you they are far right. You read through those comment sections with people convinced that Obama and the left are the new world order and that they are trying to take over the country and put us in every dystopian novel ever. You tell me how those people are so different from Timothy McVeigh in their thoughts. I mean if you want me to start posting what some people say on there to hammer the point home we can do that.
I am not here to argue about whether schools should be harder on students who are breaking laws, in fact they probably should be. Don't get me wrong, the FBI could have certainly done more in this case but the next one in a couple months may not be the case. It wasn't in Vegas, or Sandy Hook, or Columbine, or Sutherland Springs, or Orlando, getting the point? This is becoming a bi monthly tradition where we should be happy only 26 victims died because someone was able to get their AR-15 out of the car like at Sutherland Springs. Honestly pretty incredulous at that thought process.
I mean people certainly have the right to defend themselves at home from intruders but there is a big difference between that and all the guns the Vegas guy had. Honestly I might end up getting a gun at some point, probably would be a shotgun since accuracy when I am scrambling in the middle of the night in a potential fight is probably not going to be good. There are certainly times where it can save people's lives. The amount of times this happens is still up for debate(I'll get to that, patience) but still it is in the bill of rights, there is no denying that.
