Comment on For those saying Charlie was hateful watch him debates a trans man
Snatchdaddy@hilariouschaos.com 2 days agoI agree with him on that however I would say that leaving schools in universities as soft targets is idiotic, with so many veterans in America why not just pay a couple veterans per school ,university etc. And give them like a spare room with a decent camera system and arm them to only respond to violent threats to the school. Just my suggestion.

So you’re saying one death on Wednesday is a small price to pay for 2a?

Sorry for the long comment, I’m saying that the second amendment is worth keeping but at the same time we could stop school shootings very easily with veterans in school, if we’re talking gang violence in the streets like how every weekend 20 people die in Chicago, maybe if the local mayors and DAs actually gave a fuck and cracked down on crime putting away the most violent offenders for long sentences. Maybe this shit would stop. I want sauce stat that if you take out the major cities and go to the Republican areas in the country sides in the suburbs and such the crime rate in America is much lower. I truly believe it’s time to crack down on crime in major cities and it’s not like the good people in those cities don’t want help from the police to stop all the bad behavior from what is most likely a very small percentage of the city.

20 people die in a weekend in Chicago because there are millions of people in Chicago. As a percent, you’re far safer there than in any red area. E.g. 3.2/100,000 gun deaths in Massachusetts, ten times that in blood red Mississippi.
300 cops in Uvalde couldn’t do anything against a teen with a rifle except wet themselves. What’s a Korean War vet with a M1 garand going to do that hundreds of currently employed tacticool police couldn’t do?
Every other country has figured this out. Sorry if you don’t like the solution to the problem, but we’ve tried everything else. Especially ignoring it.

My other argument towards you, is this, we need a game plan that is realistic and getting rid of the second amendment is not going to happen anytime soon in the United States, it just fucking won’t. Getting rid of the Second Amendment is a pipe dream of Democrats.

Those cops were absolute cowards

First of all the Korean war was 75 years ago I don’t think 100 year-old man is gonna be guarding a school anytime soon. Second of all the idea that there are people in that school that would act would deter most people, and I think that it would make a difference vs needing someone to call the police and then a slow response time with pussy cops, waiting for orders from their chief of police who’s busy eating a doughnut and taking a shit
