lol... also, human beings are way to fleshy and fragile... if we had thicker skin, the survival rate during these mass shootings would be much higher... /s

can't fight stupid.

Wouldn't that make it easier for a school shooter?

Also seems like a bit of fire hazard to have only one entrance.

well, not to mention multiple exits are legislated in order to save lives in cases of fires or mass shootings for example...

Lt. Governor Patrick is getting absolutely roasted on twitter right now. Some pretty hilarious responses.

Of course Trump will say and, more importantly, do nothing. Just like Obama and every other president before him.

You are correct but if you’re going to insist on bringing facts into an argument about guns we’re gonna have a problem.

Never bring a fact to a gunfight.

I'll show myself out

Tried?
So like Kevin Lowe tried to sign big name free agents.

The facts:
Do or do not, there is no try.

At least with Obama, whether he was acting or not, he was visibly pissed off every single presser he did following a shootin. Acting or not, I will always hold a certain level of respect for the man to at least be visibly distraught about it all.

I think Sandy Hook really got to him. He wasn't acting in that presser.

In every instance Obama was a remarkable statesman. An incredible man really. He has my utmost respect. I cant say that about any other president in my lifetime.
I think the lack of any really movement on gun control was his only significant failing.

Statement from the Houston Chief of Police:

https://www.facebook.com/ChiefArtAce...76298439150998

Quote:
To all my Facebook friends. Today I spent the day dealing with another mass shooting of children and a responding police officer who is clinging to life. I’m not ashamed to admit I’ve shed tears of sadness, pain and anger.

I know some have strong feelings about gun rights but I want you to know I’ve hit rock bottom and I am not interested in your views as it pertains to this issue. Please do not post anything about guns aren’t the problem and there’s little we can do. My feeling won’t be hurt if you de-friend me and I hope yours won’t be if you decide to post about your views and I de-friend you.

I have never accepted the status-quo in anything I do and I’ve never accepted defeat. And I won’t do it now. I will continue to speak up and will stand up for what my heart and my God commands me to do, and I assure you it he hasn’t instructed me that gun-rights are bestowed by him.

The hatred being spewed in our country and the new norms we, so-called people of faith are accepting, is as much to blame for so much of the violence in our once pragmatic Nation.

This isn’t a time for prayers, and study and Inaction, it’s a time for prayers, action and the asking of God’s forgiveness for our inaction (especially the elected officials that ran to the cameras today, acted in a solemn manner, called for prayers, and will once again do absolutely nothing).

I close by saying, I wish those that move on from this page the best. May God Bless you and keep you.

Puleeze... just a ruse for the Libs to take away their guns and turn 'Murica into a dictatorship

They are doing it all wrong. The next time there is a school shooting, instead of sending armed police, send a crack team of fundamentalist Christians armed with thoughts and prayers to take down the shooter.

And Dump. Remember, he said he'd run in after a shooter. I do believe they should let him.
