No, I don't think arming more people is the solution. I think we need less people running around with guns. However, I believe in giving law abiding citizens the right to protect themselves and their families from those who wish to do them harm.
But for a few municipalities, that right is not prohibited.

should the question be asked of buyers of weapons if there are kids in the house? If the answer is yes then mpre extensive training should be a requirement, shouldnt it? Might have prevented this from happening. Fine upstanding responsible gun owner.

"The culture of fear is idiotic." You have no clue what fear is until you experience it. everyone has a story, don't assume everyone lives in a world with white picket fences where everyone loves each other.
Dudeman, how the hell would you know what I've experienced?? Oh right. You don't. Don't presume that people who don't feel like guns are the answer and don't let fear rule them have never been threatened, because you'd be wrong.
Don't presume that every gun owner in the US is a paranoid, "brainwashed by fear", "idiotic" criminal waiting to happen.
Don't presume they have one toof, drive a Fargo pickup, and say, "Hyuk Hyuk" a lot either.

? I have experienced fear. Experiencing fear and creating and maintaining a culture of fear are two very different things. And i do not assume that at all. Where'd you get the idea I think that? You think there are only two options? A culture of fear or white picket fences and everyone loves everyone? Yikes.

Aye it's that culture of fear that the NRA seem to endeavour to cultivate for their own ends

Take this with a grain of salt.
Brady bill. California bans all assault weapons. Major cities ban handguns. Clinton bans the import of assault weapons. NY bans all sorts of things like high ammunition sales, the gun you actually own and so on...
There is proof there that Quite s few want to take away your guns.

look at new jersey. we are only a few steps away from pretty much repealing the 2nd amendment. new york banned high ammunition sales? so if I buy a brick (500 res) of .22 lr it's illegal? I know their magazine ban did not survive court but everything else did.
There has been mention of "looking to England and Australia" on how to deal with America's gun violence. I'm pretty sure I've heard that from President Obama and Hilary. A ban and confiscation of privately owned firearms in the US certainly isn't out of the question.

Not yet.
and THAT comes across as paranoid.

That would require a constitutional amendment. Will never be more than talk.
Personally I am not calling for either. Simply want more uniform requirements, with rigorous training and some tracability to hold those folks accountable for poor securement or outright sale or gifting to folks who cant otherwise legally possess.
And lets get some real study of data. Not the patchwork shit we see now.
Its an important right to have. But as a nation we have moved a fair bit away from being a responsible people with something so powerful and life taking/altering.

Gun violence is on the decline. Look it up, fbi facts. How about we stop bickering and fighting about something the media wants us to and actually pay attention to what's going on in the world? Crazy I know I know right?...

Also this guy is clearly "brandishing" his weapon which is illegal everywhere so he should be arrested.
Agreed. He's gone beyond simple "open carry". The way he's holding the firearm, with finger ready to move to the trigger sure looks like brandishing to me. If he had the firearm slung over is shoulder, and not in a position ready to be fired, I'd recognize that as his right to open carry.
This guy should be arrested and cited for disorderly conduct. His actions are clearly done to cause alarm, and the firearm is being displayed in a threatening manner. I'd be freaking the fuck out if I were that poor woman.

If he had turned the weapon on his classmates, this wouldn't be the case.
Tony Dale doesn't want refugees in Texas because they can buy guns. You can't make this up.

This indicates a decline in violent crime, not specifically gun violence but it's worth noting nonetheless.
It looks like violent crime has been on the decline in the US for the past 13 years according to the FBI.
This is interesting, too. The would-be robber had 10 felonies and had just been released when this happened.
Yup... something's not right. He's correct. His stepfather was afforded way too many opportunities to harm people.
