As I have said a hundred times, I do not support the NRA.
I have no issues with you having a gun protecting your family. I have the same. I do have an issue with poorly trained teachers having weapons around my children in a classroom. I am supportive of resource officers in the school. My district has them today. What I'm adamantly against is having semi auto rifles being legal weapons. This isn't about "banning the 2A", it's about common sense regulations on weapons of war, not protection.
Semi auto rifles are not weapons of war.
Guns are weapons of war

It was designed to replace the M-14 and to combat the AK-47. I can be easily modified to almost fully automatic. It's not a defensive weapon.
Everybody else noticing all of the companies cutting ties with the NRA? Delta and United are the latest.
It's fantastic.
When people on here defending the right to arm themselves with machine guns sneer at people expressing their outrage asking them, "What are you going to do?"... they should know that their voiced displeasure throughout various mediums adds to the volume of discontent that ultimately places pressure on companies such as Delta to sever ties with the devil.
Why and for what purpose would Delta or United have ties to the NRA? Sponsorship of their convention? Advertising in their member newsletter? Something else?

The creator of the AR-15 seemed to believe otherwise.
It is tiresome proving you wrong. Fucking ponderous.

Like being a member of AAA the membership got discounts at Delta, Hertz, etc
I love David Simon. Just finishing up my 4th full run through of The Wire.
I watch The Wire beginning to end every year. If you are a David Simon fan check out Treme on HBO if you haven't seen it already. Also read the new book by Jonathan Abrams "All The Pieces Matter". A great read for fans of The Wire.

Free gun check on flights? Ahhhhhhh, rent a car, get a free gun cleaning?
Can we summarize the suggested actions (for either handling the gun problem in schools or public areas)? Not the reasons behind them, just strictly the actions themselves. At this point, I think I’ve heard:
1. Arm teachers with tasers 2. Arm teachers with guns 3. Deploy armed guards in schools 4. Deploy armed guards in public facilities 5. Ban guns 6. Ban assault type weapons 7. Increase gun control
Have I missed any?
Somehow, somefucking how because I don't know how to do this, but somehow stop kids from turning into bullies. My wife told me about an article by this guy who said he had planned a mass shooting at his school because he was sick to death of being bullied. The only reason he didn't carry out his plan was because he was too stoned. I don't know if all these details are correct but the point is if we stopped the bulling, some of these incidents wouldn't happen.
I agree the fucking bullying has to stop on all levels ...
jesus greets me looks just like me ....

But they only work 180 days a year and have summers off.
It's sad how we devalue the people that spend 6 hours a day with our children. BTW, more than a few school systems have started to move to all year, with more breaks. Means teachers could not get a second job if they wanted. So if they wanted to work a SWAT detail, or perhaps moonlight as a Brinks security guard, that would be more difficult.

Teachers and all that "time off" LOL.
I remember my teaching days. Lesson plans, reading, correcting papers, material requisitions (AKA begging for supplies), after school meetings, board meetings, fund raising, teacher-parent conferences, extra curricular activities, counseling, refresher courses at the college level, etc.
Oh yeah, all that time off.

5/6 combo. Was hard work but a lot of fun for a couple years. But then my ex wanted to move north and I got stuck in a routine of full-time subbing in Washington state due to job shortages up there. Subbing was hell!
17 years! Congratulations and thanks for doing it. We need good teachers like yourself!

It also doesn’t help that people in charge do not seem recogonize that every person at that school is traumatized .... a generation of young people are being traumatized mentally and likely not getting the help they need, which may lead to bullying...I thought it was tough when I was young...didn’t have this going on that often.
