Compare hours of use for autos and cellphondes to guns if you want to be honest 

That's one of the dumbest things you've said on this forum.

Really? The time spent using a cell phone mitigates the fact that texting while driving is considerably more dangerous than even drunk driving?  It somehow makes deaths caused by distracted driving less bad than gun violence? You are a retarded faggot!

No? You dumb fuck. Any time people try to compare auto deaths to gun deaths it is helpful to also compare the amount of time people are using a device.  

For most people a car and cellphone are essential for work. They spend 10 hours per week in their cars, it stands to reason that there would be more car accidents than gun. Per hour of use guns are way more dangerous.  

Also most places fine people for texting and driving. I’m sure you and the op aren’t suggesting we fine people for having weapons.

They did it wrong, the kids need more practice. One school had  a do over after the kids were jumping on cars and ripping down the flag.  OK , we are going to try this again................And no funny business!!!!   :lol: 

I think it is safe to say there will be no "TAKE OUR PHONES"!!!!!  chants.

Oh yes, the next Liberal Facist rally paid for by tax dollars and implemented by public school teachers on behalf of the Democratic party will work out much better.  Now, if all the parents and students will just resist their urge to encourage all to think independently using ration and reason.....this will all go over much smoother.

:lol:

no its you who are too stupid. 20 years ago we didn't have any school shootings. before that, when I was in school, most of us guys had a rifle or shotgun hanging in the back window of our truck. we got in fights all the time, argued and never shot the school up. we settled it with our hands. these kids people are raising today seem to need revenge for everything. they ain't normal.

Well said and absolutely true..we always took our guns to school,  a couple Teachers went Duck hunting with some of us after school. My neighbor 3 doors away was the Gym coach, he & I went hunting together all the time, Ducks, Pheasants, and Rabbits, great guy and great Teacher.

my Dad always says,  "America is only as good as its parents."  he is right and when todays kids come to voting age, America is doomed.

People are crazy to think the glorification of violence in media (games, movies, tv shoes) isn't having an impact as well.

It certainly influences kids and even some Adults.

It's great to say, that there was no problem with gun violence 40 years ago. 

But the reality is, there is a problem now. 

Australia solved their problem. It didn't take thousands of dead kids to make them act. 

 

I'm sorry that none of you are intelligent enough to figure out the time/injury correlation.

So what changed in the last 40 years? 

If it's truly about the kids then we MUST not allow them to drive until their 21, or do drugs, or be aborted...

Check the facts:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_school_massacres_by_death_toll

They existed, just not publicized. Social media has allowed news from everywhere in an instant.

This second part is truth, and I agree.

One thing that has changed is people like you are more common. How many times have you shown photos of your gun collection? You do that because you think people respect you for having all the fire power.  It’s pussy’s like you that support the narrative about tough guys owning guns. 

Years ago tough guys didn’t need a gun to feel tough. When you make being able to shoot someone a measure of manhood, you end up with fuckheads shooting up schools when they are bullied.
