I made one post on this thread and said it was my only 2 cents until I saw this. OK, maybe I am wrong...I am making an assumption here, but it sure sounds like he is referring to the Uvalde shooter. Am I the only one interpreting this the same way? If he is referring to the Uvalde shooter, then it has to be the most ignorant and heartless statement I have ever seen on this forum. I'd like to see you (Tail Shooter) go and say this to the families of the 2 slain teachers or the families of those 19 murdered children. Better yet, go tell that to the few surviving kids that somehow managed to survive being in that classroom for over an hour. IDIOT!!!!!!!!!

That speaks volumes.

He was making a point. It’s nothing to get emotional about.

And what point was that? If he was in fact referring to the Uvalde shooter, the only interpretation/inference I get out of that statement is that if he was a better shot NO kids would have made it out of that classroom alive. Nothing to get emotional about? Well, maybe I'm a softie, but there's something about a blood-filled classroom with 19 innocent defenseless kids lying there, some of whom were shot up so bad that that they had to get DNA samples from parents to figure out who was who, that gets to me.

I’m the one that posted suggesting gun safety in schools. My thought process was not that it would have had an impact on the psychopath in Uvalde. This thread asked what gun reform I could accept. That is what I was responding to. Guns are not what caused this. The population of this country has owned guns since we were English Colonies. Looking at what in our culture and society has changed that coincides with this mess starting is insightful. The current administration is not going to go there. They are promoting going further down that path. It did not start with the current administration though.
Now back to why I said I could live with gun safety in schools. The family unit in our country is disintegrating. Almost 50% of marriages end in divorce. A high percentage of kids do not grow up with a father figure to show them how to be a man, check them when they cross the line, or teach them about firearms and how to safely handle them. (The shooter in Uvalde is a product of such an upbringing by the way). There are also a lot of kids that grow up in families that are not gun owners. When these kids come of age to purchase a firearm they also come of age to vote on gun control. I’m ok with educating the ones that don’t grow up with the benefit of learning about them at home like most of our children did, with the hope that they can make informed decisions rather than having an emotion induced knee jerk reaction that taking our guns is the answer
