School just started and we already back to the shootings. MAGA!!!

Absolutely meaningless.

Countries with populations that are reasonably well educated and civilized don't make AR type weapons available to the public. This is why we have on average 1-2 mass murders (that we hear about) per week in the U.S., and everybody else has similar incidences once in a generation, if at all.

This is why we have active shooter drills in elementary schools.

Sounds like some bullshit attempt to rationalize the availability of weapons designed primarily for killing human beings.

It also reminds me of a George Carlin skit, where he talked about how what we used to call "shell shock" we now call "post traumatic stress disorder", in an attempt to soften the impact of what it really is.
And countless countries still have violence from other weapons that haven't been banned. Malicious ppl will use whatever they have access to for their plans. You can believe what you want and more power to you for it. I'm not here to try to convince you to flip your rationale. I simply answered the question on what AR platform rifles can be used for and left it at that. It is ironic though that you're so quick to jump at villainizing that particular platform but are ignoring the fact that a shotgun and pistol was also brought with this coward clearly showing he had massive malicious intentions to inflict damage. Just something to keep in mind if you decide to open your eyes a lil wider.
You still have not shown a good argument as to why civilians needs assault rifles. When things go down you never see people save the day with one.
You asked a question and I answered it. Just because you personally don't use or want to use those rifles doesn't mean they don't have a purpose. You obviously have your mind made up so I'm not going to waste my time going back n forth with you. The fact that you're focused solely on that platform but not mentioning that the coward was also armed with a shotgun and pistol speaks volumes on where your stance is. He clearly had malicious intentions and was going to use whatever he could to inflict damage. I'll leave it at that.

The school shooter in Minneapolis who killed two children and injured at least 17 others has been identified as law enforcement investigates an apparent manifesto possibly linked to the suspect, sources confirmed to The Post.

Robin Westman, who is in his early 20s, opened fire through the stained glass windows of Annunciation Catholic Church during a celebratory back-to-school Mass filled with children, around 8:30 a.m. Wednesday.

Police are investigating whether a sick 20-minute YouTube video shared on an account hours before the shooting was connected to Westman.

In the video, a hand slowly turns the pages of a red notebook, which is laid out on top of what appears to be schematic gun diagrams.

Each page is filled with inscrutable handwritten scrawl, an occasional plume of smoke is seen from the bottom of the screen as the person turning the pages coughs and occasionally maniacally giggles.




Other videos show an obsession with mass shooters — including Sandy Hook killer Adam Lanza.

Westman, who died at the scene of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, was armed with a rifle, a shotgun and a handgun. The shooter was not previously known to law enforcement, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara told reporters at a press conference.

Videos posted to YouTube show multiple weapons — including a semi-automatic rifle and a shotgun. Magazines were scrawled with “for the children” and “kill Donald Trump.”

You can post all that on YouTube and they still won't take the video down until after you shoot up a school.

But had the video had some copyrighted music in it from a popular artist, the YouTube algorithms would have flagged within hours of the upload.

This country has it's priorities completely backwards.

Do you really think the USA leads the world in shootings? Think again.

I am (was) one of the few here willing to counter the stupid assed, maga flavored bullshit you espoused.

It is far beyond my pay grade to make this decision for you, but all indicators suggest you should read the goddamn room and have a hot, steaming cup of shut the fuck up.

As someone who had to engage in active shooting drills with kids as young as 8, I
have NO patience for people who parrot this kind of bullshit.

YOU are part of the problem.

Children are being killed because of this kind of right wing tainted bullshit, dressed up to resemble reasonable thought.

I am done.

So because I pointed out how YOU are hyper focused on a specific gun platform and not looking at the fact that the gunman carried 2 other firearms with him to cause significant casualties, I'm all of a sudden MAGA? Because I'm pointing out how YOU elected to regurgitate incomplete information to align with your view I'm all of a sudden right wing? I get it. You're feeling the way you do based on your personal experiences and views but that doesn't make the points I've made any more wrong than you feel you're right. We'll agree to disagree on this and leave it at that as I've already stated I'm not going to go back n forth with you. Just don't be so quick to automatically assume I'm pro MAGA or right wing. That kind of logic will blind you.
 
3 of my grandkids High school yesterday, the day before they were put on lockdown due to somebody seen with a weapon during a fire drill.
 
Very strange since some are all caps, others lower case or the first letter on each line is capitalized.
I've written like that at times. I have rhyme notebooks and on a single page, I'll have cursive, all caps, all lowercase, different colors. I think it reflects what I am feeling at the time.
