Such a very sad event.
Uvalde is such a nice little town. One of those places you would never imagine something like that happening. That town will be heartbroken for a long time.
And there is absolutely no way to rationalize an attack on school children.

2 Timothy 3:1-5 But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.

Prayers for the families, prayers for our country...
People, and society, are driven by their values and beliefs. When family values are eviscerated, God is attacked along with his faithful, a government promotes evil in the corruption of our youth and killing of the unborn...should we even be surprised by this despicable evil?
The falling of our Republic and the putrid decline of our society both saddens and angers me. We're mirroring the fall of Rome.
I stepped outside and piped the tune, "Bells Of Dunblane" in memory of those taken by an evil coward today. That tune was written in tribute to many children taken in the worst shooting in Scotland's history. Another horrific crime unthinkable in that country.
Pray.

Sadly, in these times sending your child to a school that doesn't have armed security, or at the minimum LOCKED doors that can only be opened (from the outside) by school personnel is equivalent to sending them to a school with fire extinguishers/spinklers/etc.

Although this isn't what the tone of this thread is about, this goes waaaaaayyyyy beyond picking out a particular product to place a "ban" on.
This is about many people, on both sides talking through what causes these types of acts, and what can be done to prevent them. And they have to be able to do it in a logical and intelligent way without being emotional and without trying to make a political statement.

Guns on school property is against the law and murder is against the law. Criminals are not going to abide by any laws you pass. California has more anti gun laws than you could possibly pass nationwide. Yet they have mass shootings more than any other state. You can take every gun from law abiding people and yet the criminals will still have millions. It's election time guys so the mass shootings are back. Trump pretty much stopped "most" mass school shooting just by making it known he wouldn't sign any anti gun bill because they don't work. It's proven over and over.

Folks....all of this political chest thumping is EXACTLY why nothing that has a meaningful impact on these types of things EVER gets done.
All that does is to cause the same type of irrational responses and comments from those you are trying to negotiate with. And NEGOTIATION and DISCSUSSION is what HAS to happen There is common ground but we will never get to it with this type of mentality.
If you can't leave out the emotionally and ill-informed political rants stay out of the discussion.

I cannot imagine and our prayers are with those involved.
As far as laws?.....a gun could lie in a busy town, and it could rot, and never do harm until someone picks it up, points it at another human and squeezed the trigger.
inanimate objects do not kill....people do. People with no moral value.
And from where does moral value come? From people? Who then decides? And if so who determines right from wrong? Again people? If so then will murder become acceptable? Or anything else for that matter?
My prayer is not just for these family's but that this country would once again truly put it's trust in an Almighty God.
The old testament shows us what man is capable of...it makes no effort to hide it...the new testament has the cure.

The law makes us lock our kids into car seats when we drive with them, but the schools don't have to lock their doors????
And for what it's worth, I've been praying for all involved in this tragedy since it occurred, but I also believe that prayers WITHOUT figuring out how/why something like this happened so we can learn from it try to prevent it from happening again makes the prayers kinda worthless.

Lots of ideas that have merrit: - Lock the freaking doors. - Fire and then prosecute anyone that "props" the door open and supidly defeats security measures. - Controlled entry points. - Arming volunteer teachers. And train them. Weekly target practice. Monthly live fire real type drills. - Active shooter drills. Like the fire drills we had back in the day. - Cut back on the football budget 1%. Stop building $10M stadiums and instead hire ex-military security, and implement proficiency standards (no doughnut boys drawing a paycheck). - Train the police to actually do something besides hide and wait for back-up while children are being shot or bleeding out. - Universal background checks. I'm not really opposed to it. There are lots of people that should not have firearms. Or any other weapon. But it needs to be instant or a few days. Not a month. - Not sure how, but stop the ultra-violent video games. Stop conditioning kids to kill wantenly. - Mental health "reform". Not sure what that looks like, but it seems needed, but could be easily used by libs to indoctrinate. - Algorithms that constantly search Facebook, twiter, etc. for threats and report to the local Police immediately for action.
Something REAL needs to be done. Taking away my rights will achieve nothing.

I believe that any free person...not confined to a hospital or prison, should be able to possess the weaponry useful to defend their family, property and themselves. If somebody is dangerous you had better put them away because there are all sorts of ways and tools that can be used to cause harm. In other words NO background checks EVER!

First mass school shooting in America, Texas 1966.
Killer seems to have been raised right.
M1 carbine (but 30-06 Garand reported at the time, as I recall.
Texas Tower, 1966. That was long before NRA started to market the idea that literally military semi-automatic rifles were some kind of "right."

This guy was an unemployed guy living with his mom. He had a 70k pickup truck and 5k worth of daniel defence rifles with optics and lots of ammo. Not a random shooting. Metal detectors and an armed guard next to it is your answer. Like Israel did. At election time? Our kids need serious help thats been proven to work, not trial n error.
