Another school shooting in TX

This is what many people offer to express their empathy and compassion...your ridicule of these people speaks volumes about you....and not in a good way.

Your doubts about the sincerity of his thoughts and prayers suggests you might have a twisted soul.

Our lawmakers job is NOT to send their sympathy and prayers, it is to work to stop this type of thing from ever happening.

 

[IronWing]

...and I hope they were a factor in reducing loss of life. What do you hope?

Yep, your soul is twisted. You cannot help but project the worst on people.

Because thought and prayers are lip service and do nothing except make the giver feel better about themselves.

Want to do something, eliminate our wild west gun culture.

FYI...there's this thing called 'real world'...you should try living in it sometime.

this girl just graduated from kent state. a friend of mine agrees with her - every person in the US needs to carry a gun on them at all times. i think it sounds kind of crazy but he insists this will solve all shootings.

Bombs have been found in and around the school. Well, they're calling them "explosive devices".

No thanks that was the wild west and they were smart enough to stop it. Attention grabbing little girl, especially at kent state, shameful.

People do many things to make them feel better about themselves...like advocating "solutions" that are not even remotely viable and have no chance in hell of actually working.

Oh and this school has armed guards on-site.

Need more good guys with guns, obviously.

Yup harsher gun laws are definitely not viable and have no chance in hell of actually working, except in states that have harsher gun laws have lower gun deaths.

I disagree it is possible.

claims of empathy and compassion that does not lead to change or action should rightly be ridiculed as being empty and non-sincere.

There is one flaw with her approach. Guess what it is?

Her looks will go away and that's all she had then she'll end up doing crack and meth in the alley behind the gas station and turning tricks for her addiction?

Or she's just planning a career on right wing news shows.

Not quite but you are close

Your belief in empty gestures instead of actions speaks far more about you and not in a good way.

She will have to bleach her hair but she might get an offer.

except when it works everywhere else but we can't possibly imagine that it would here, because we're ever so speshul.

But I do agree that conservatives are very speshul people. They prove this daily.

this works so well in chicago, baltimore, ny, ect ect ect

What have you changed? What actions have you taken that make one iota of difference in the scheme of things? There is effectively no difference between you and those who offer 'thoughts and prayers' except for one thing...human empathy...which you appear to sorely lack.

If someone walks up to her and says "I'm going to take your gun away and have it destroyed.", will she execute that person?
If the law is changed banning that gun and a police officers attempts to confiscate it, will she execute the cop?

How does this work?

Where do NY and Chicago fall per capita on murder rates compared to other major US cities? They are the 1st and 3rd most populated so I'm curious where they rank for homicides...

Every thread here that talks about guns, someone has posted hard statistics that show states that have stronger gun laws have lower gun deaths. If you don't want to believe that, it's on you
