Trump praises here of school shooting.

"Thanks to very brave Teacher & Hero Jason Seaman of Noblesville, Indiana, for his heroic act in saving so many precious young lives. His quick and automatic action is being talked about all over the world!"

Apparently he doesn't praise a hero if he stops a shooter in a Waffle House.

Of course, the guy who stopped the shooting didn't have a gun. He used a basketball first, and himself second.

Then again, can someone please explain...

HOW THE **** DOES A MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENT GET 2 HANDGUNS TO BRING TO SCHOOL????????

They guy in the Waffle house didn't have a gun and the shooter wasn't a child but a man with an AR.
 
Now we know what's really responsible for school shootings. Pornography ... in supermarkets.

Republican Rep. Diane Black of Tennessee recently cited pornography, along with the deterioration of the family and violent movies, as a contributing factor to gun violence in schools.
Black made the remarks during a listening session with local pastors last week, according to audio obtained by HuffPost and posted Tuesday.
"Why do we see kids being so violent? What's out there? What makes them do that?" Black said. "Because, as a nurse, I go back to root cause. And I think it's a couple things," Black said, listing off deterioration of the family and violent movies, before mentioning pornography.
"Pornography. It's available. It's available on the shelf when you walk in the grocery store. Yeah, you have to reach up to get it, but there's pornography there," Black says in the audio. "All of this is available without parental guidance."

I'm not sure what grocery stores she's shopping in. Either she's referring to fashion and fitness magazines with women in skimpy outfits on the covers, or she's confusing grocery stores and convenience stores.

I'm not sure what convenience stores you're talking about either. Even during my brief term working in a local convenience store chain two decades ago, the porno mags were on shelves behind the counter and the covers were not visible at all behind black plates with the titles on them...and 7-11 stores hadn't carried them for years before that.

Maybe she's confusing grocery stores with adult stores that happen to sell edible underwear?

When I worked for one in the mid-90s, Playboy and Penthouse were on the magazine rack, all the way at the top, high enough that an adult would have to reach over their head, with a barrier preventing the covers from being visible. I haven't checked recently.

I also remember that nearly every adult magazine had transitioned back then to being sold in plastic bags so that they had to be ripped open to see true nudity.

I'd wager that in Tennessee (and the rest of the South), any adult magazines still being sold are even more out of the way than in my city of liberal heathens.

In any case, this is yet another conservative nutbar who is in complete denial of reality.
 
If she is worried by a copy of Playboy on the top shelf don't let her on to the Internet!

I don't know have you seen how much more common strip clubs are down there vs in the north?
 
It's interesting that she mentioned a few things, then mentioned pornography, and the only thing anyone is talking about is pornography. One track minds, I guess.


However, in all seriousness, I am a gun control advocate, but I think that when looking at the phenomenon of mass shootings in the USA, some sort of societal ills and the influences on the psyche of Americans, especially young Americans, really do have to be considered. Personally, I think that we have a very lonely society, with very shallow relationships, and I think that it is even easier than in decades past to remain isolated. Even, yes, pornography may play a role in that.

Yeah, she mentioned other crap for which she provided no evidence. It just so happens that the pornography nonsense she spouts makes clear that she doesn't give a **** about evidence and that she's just spouting garbage. As a nurse, she might think back to her schooling where she was almost certainly taught to look at root causes that are actually proven to be root causes.
 
Is it harder to get a porn mag than a gun when you are a school pupil?

You know what's really causing school violence? It's obviously pool halls.

We've got trouble.
Right here in our schools.
Trouble with a capital "T".
And that rhymes with "P".
And that stands for Pool.

I remember the "good old days", when there were claims that I was going to go nuts and kill people because I sat around a table with my friends rolling oddly shaped dice.

School shooting is people shot at school. Mass school shooting is many people shot at school. Saying theys arent school shootings even though they are shootings at school is dishonest and highlights the growing apathy in the US. Is it not an assault if I stab someone in a non vital area with a small toothpick or pin instead of a shank or a knife?
Why are guns in this volume accessable to people at school whether they are incompetent or not?

No, someone being shot at a school is someone being shot at a school. A school shooting is not an accidental discharge by a licensed instructor, that is an accidental discharge.

I am avoiding using the "everyone knows what we mean when we say school shooting" and trying to find more solid evidence, but really - a BB gun is a school shooting? Was that reported by CNN as a school shooting? Didn't think so.

If someone said "did you hear about the latest school shooting?" and then proceeded to describe a BB gun or an accidental discharge by an instructor they'd be ridiculed.

When CNN, during reporting of the latest actual rampage shooting claim there has been a school shooting every week this year, what do you think people believe they are referring to?

Come on give me a break.
 
Trump didn't go toTexas to meet with families of Santa Fe shooting.
He went for two fundraisers - lunch in Houston, dinner in Dallas to benefit Senate RNC.

He only decided the day before to meet with them. They had to meet him at the airport, no cameras, no siblings allowed.

He said he was going to Texas to 'have some fun' He knew it would look bad if he was in the area and didn't meet the families so he made them go to him at the airport. Can't have them inconveniencing his fundraising dinner.

Maybe if they had paid to attend the lunch they could have got a photograph.
 
Fox News proposes blasting down school walls with cannons in event of school shootings

On Thursday, Fox News proposed a unique way to reduce fatalities at schools targeted by mass shooters.

In “School shootings: This cannon fires unbelievable ammo to blast through walls and help rescue victims,” Fox News “defense specialist” Allison Barrie writes about a cannon called the “BCB Wall Breaker” that fires water cooler tanks at high velocities. Barrie suggests the cannon could help students escape mass shootings by blasting down walls.
