GUNS - CLASSROOM SHOOT-OUTS

Spot the Hero
Who dodged the  Draft? 

Will anybody tell President Trump the truth?  Or will US school kids remain as collateral damage, sacrificed for the gun-runners' profits? 

The 2nd Amendment gave local militia the right to be armed - not for deranged individuals to own machine guns. The local militia, as a platoon, could defend their villages against attack, with single shot muskets.

Gun Violence by the Numbers - EverytownResearch.org


https://everytownresearch.org/gun-violence-by-the-numbers/
Seven children and teens (age 19 or under) are killed with guns in the U.S. on an average day. Rates of firearm injury death increase rapidly after age 12. And unintentional shootings of children and teens are under reported in the CDC data, possibly because of the difficulty of characterizing a child's intent.
 

Facts - New Scientist - Branas's study found that people who carried guns were 4.5 times as likely to be shot and 4.2 times as likely to get killed compared with unarmed citizens. When the team looked at shootings in which victims had a chance to defend themselves, their odds of getting shot were even higher. http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn17922-carrying-a-gun-increases-risk-of-getting-shot-and-killed.html

"You have a true friend and champion in the White House. No longer will federal agencies be coming after law-abiding gun owners," Trump said in his speech. "No longer will the government be trying to undermine your rights and your freedoms as Americans. Instead, we will work with you, by your side."

I think the NRA  had seen too many Westerns where the good guy shoots the bad one? But in many films with people like Gregory Peck and Gary Cooper and even John Wayne and James Stewart the gun is a last resort and they are actually speaking out against the gun carrying culture. DESTRY RIDES AGAIN is one famous example. Mel

Absolutely. The answer to the gun problem is more guns!
Its not the guns that kill it is the people who carry them!

I’ve got it! The answer to the gun problem is to provide free of charge an AK47 or similar to every man, and, in the interests of sexual equality, woman - who are over 21, of course.
Sorted!

Really. Such an awful situation, I feel guilty making fun of it! - Nick

Demented Donald speaks for The People. Gunfight at the OK Corral.
He will dodge the bullets – as easily as he dodged the draft.
Kids are collateral damage. 

What did Trump say?

The US president has stepped up his calls for teachers to be armed, a day after he floated the proposal at a White House event to hear from survivors of the Florida school shooting.
Discussing school safety with state and local officials on Thursday, he said: "Shooters won't walk into a school if 20% of people have guns."


Mr Trump added: "What I'd recommend doing is the people that do carry, we give them a bonus. We give them a little bit of a bonus."
The president also said he supports raising the age at which a person can buy a gun from 18 to 21, insisting the NRA would back such a proposal.

Noel said:
A step in the direction of peace would be to confiscate all firearms and licence them back – provided the owner can give a sane reason for needing the weapon/s . Free of charge. That would Make Trump’s America Great Again.
