It was just painful to watch Jones go through reverse puberty using such silly sentences that he thinks forms a solid argument. He could have just blown a raspberry at the beginning of the show, called it a day and saved his reputation.

Attempted to watch his original show involving the discussion of deporting Morgan, and couldn't even get to that part. This man genuinely believes that the government is out to control everybody and he's the voice of caution and reason.

I can knock down a tom ( turkey ) at 40 yds with a 12ga.

Nonetheless this is getting ridiculous .... What are the odds that the NRA says "well F it, we should just arm all the kids in schools?"

The NRA would embrace that, before they would gun control. They are that insane.

Kid only aimed at one kid. Then the teacher got him to lay the gun down

I would disagree, a shot gun in a confined space is the ultimate anti-personal weapon with the right load. Its like using a flame thrower.

If you corner someone in a room like a classroom your going to do significant damage and your probably not going to miss.

I'm reading with disgust by the way that there are lots of conspiracy theories about the Sandy Hook shooting and that it was a false flag operation by the American Government to give the government the ability to put in draconian gun control laws.

But today? What chance does an AR-15 have against a drone? Or a stealth bomber? Or a tank? Or a nuclear bomb? Or submarine launched cruise missiles? Or reconnaissance satellites?

If King George had nuclear weapons and George Washington had AR-15's, Americans would be driving on the left, playing cricket and enjoying a spot of tea.
What side are you arguing? Americans need access to fewer guns or more guns?

More that the idea itself of needing guns to protect against the government is a non-idea. The government has enough sophisticated weaponry that they could destroy most of the country without putting boots on the ground (drones etc.).

I like the parents of victims on the news are paid actors. I have seen some convincing pictures but who knows what's going on.

btw, this california school had an armed police officer. Due to snow the officer was late and not on site.

Clearly the solution is some barracks for the armed officers that are needed to guard the schools.

Or an Ed 209

Little Tom, Dick and Harry are walking down the hall of their Junior High School
ED-209: [menacingly] Present your hall pass. You have 20 seconds to comply.
Dick I think you better do as he says, Tom.
[Tom pulls out his hall pass and holds it in front of Ed's optical sensor. ED-209 advances, growling]
ED-209: You now have 15 seconds to comply.
[Tom turns to Dick , who looks nervous]
ED-209: You are in direct violation of School Code 1.13, Section 9.
Harry and Dick both step back with a look of horror on his face
ED-209: You have 5 seconds to comply.
Tom: Help me!
ED-209: Four... three... two... one... I am now authorized to use physical force!
[ED-209 opens fire and shreds Tom]

Dick: Man this school is harsh

I always love the NRA arguement that 'the first thing Hitler and Stalin did was take away the guns!' without realizing that that arguement is self defeating, obviously having guns did nothing to protect Germans or Russians from Hitler or Stalin.

Probably the dozens upon dozens of people directly involved. As with any conspiracy theory it falls apart as soon as you consider the number of people who have to be involved.

What convincing pictures, the one of the one parent laughing a day after the shooting.

Are any of these conspiracy theory nuts well versed in human psychology and the grieving process? People do strange things when a traumatic event happens and they're hardly consistent.

Well, at least we can all agree that the only rational reaction to the loss of a child in a school shooting would be to exercise your 2nd amendment rights...

To the gun store! Who's with me!

Anyone?
