How do we stop school shootings without crossing the imaginary line that the pro 2nd amendment crowd has drawn?

1. More effective, stringent background checks.
2. Detailed psych evaluation similar to the test given to police officers and 911 dispatchers.
3. A mandatory waiting period from 6 months to a year before receiving the purchased gun.

I truly believe this would decrease the number of school shootings and murders significantly.

There actually is something other than talking about the logic of gun control which could affect change. Stigmatize the ignorance that has America in a chokehold. Vocalize and normalize how ignorant all arguments for guns in 2023 are. Make it cool and socially approved to be wise, intelligent, thoughtful, kind, empathetic.

People are ultimately susceptible to group trends. If group trends go toward understanding how stupid guns are, guns themselves will begin to be more stigmatized.
Criminals don't follow laws.

You have two choices, ban guns or don't ban guns. IF you ban them you have to take them all away. Otherwise if you take away the AR-15, then they are going to switch to the next popular thing, it becomes a never ending game of take x away and make more restrictions. But taking guns away does not solve the problem. The problem is we have a mentally screwed up generation that feels they are the center of the universe and nothing else matters but how they feel. They haven't had to deal with adversity and when they face it they don't know how to handle it. We have a mental health crisis and all we are doing is feeding into it with all of this intersectionality BS. Not one person who did a mass shooting was remotely sane. That's the core of the issue. Take away all the guns they are going to use cars and knives or home made bombs. Guns are mearly the tool.

Also do you really want to go and actually ban guns without a constutional amendment? That's a huge slipperly slope that will lead to no where good. If you can ignore that amendment what else are you willing to ignore all in the name of safety. Its a disengeuous arguement.

A gun ban would lead to a civil war. What's funny is people say well you can't fight the military. Who do you think makes up mosst of the miltary? Most liberals damn sure are not serving and most of the military is Pro-gun. As soon as a commander gave an order to kill American's its over. Soldiers won't listen to that.

I am 100% pro second amendment. However, if a constitutional amendment passed to repeal it. I would abide by it. I wouldn't like it, but I do believe in the principles that crated this country.

We'd have to change America's mentality regarding guns and that won't happen without a tragedy of epic proportions.​
There have been several tragedies of epic proportions in the last couple of years and nothing happened. This isn't about mentality, it's about regulation. And as long as the very serious types pretend that the unhinged sociopathy and persecution complex of the right need to be entertained, there won't be any.

This is a start but there's no point if there's not annual yearly/quarterly check ups.

Good today but bad tomorrow means you've got to stay on top of the people licensed to carry.

If you got millions to give to the military and Ukraine and other countries

What’s the problem where u can invest money into bulletproof very secured classroom doors and windows… where if a shooter is in the hallway, the teachers and students can lock themselves in a very secured room where the shooter can’t get in…

This government is so damn stupid

The problem with the 2nd amendment is that it wasn't made to last a lifetime, but for that specific period, in other words, the amendment is dated and by today's standards needs serious modifications to represent the current era/society we live in today.

The 2nd amendment was created in 1791 (232 years ago). As we all know by now, America was very very different back in those days than it is now. One passage of the bill states “to organize, arm, and discipline the federal militia”...well we don't live in times like that anymore.

The logic and reason behind barring arms back then don't apply to today and that's what makes it not only dated but naive in context by today's standards. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if bills like this will ever be modified as they would be deemed too controversial, among other things. Many countries have modified their constitutions since they were originally written and implemented but America is stuck in its old ways and doesn't wanna let go.

Treat privileged white kids like (some) black inner city youth in the 90s. SCANNERS FOR EVERYBODY. ZERO TOLERANCE. No scan, no entry.

This is the solution, but CACs won’t accept this because that type of treatment is only justifiable for a certain demographic. :mjpls:

Not their precious babies. :mjpls:

It’s not when a lot of the shooters are coming from outside the school and not the inside.

I don’t get what you’re saying?

Put police officers and metal detectors at the entrance to every school.

Also focus on having police units patrol the surrounding areas.

Problem solved.

There is no “inside shooter” if they can’t get guns in, in the first place.

That cost money and isn't a viable option for each school especially when the majority of schools are strapped and resources as it is. That’s not even factoring how you obviously won’t get every state and district on board.

Its simple if gun control is your number one issue of concern, you have to vote for the democratic candidate in all federal elections , the republicans have been crystal clear they wont do a single substantive thing about the issue, vote for democrats up and down the ballot , because its the democratic party that supports gun regulations and reimposing the assault weapons ban, its also the democratic president that gets to appoint federal judges including to the supreme court which has a substantial effect on gun regulation and gun use. Look up ''district of columbia vs heller'' the right wing supreme court expanded gun rights way beyond the founders intent and have cause destruction with their decisions, vote for democrats who will appoint justices to the court that will support common sense gun regulations
