MASS SHOOTINGS - What Are Some Viable Solutions?


The recent shooting in Uvalde, Texas brings up some salient questions and possible solutions.

Some have suggested that semi-automatic weapons, like AR-15s and AK-47s, should not be sold, especially to people under 25 years old. I tend to agree, at the very least teenagers should not be able to buy "Weapons of War." Perhaps age 30 would be more appropriate -- no one under 30 years old should be able to purchase an AK-47 or similar weapon. Here's the rationale:

Since the main reason we "keep and bear" is to deter the development of tyrannical government, arguably only people over 30 years of age have had enough experience living life and evaluating things like the performance of their government to be qualified to own and potentially deploy a serious weapon. After all one cannot be President of the United States unless over age 35. Could an 18 year old be president? Then why should they own a Weapon of War?

Teenagers and young adults -- having hormones and often/usually severe life challenges raging through their brains -- are relatively unstable and thus more probable to be a liability to society if they can spontaneously obtain devastating weapons. Given the above considerations, perhaps we should consider allowing only mature citizens, with mature judgement, to have access to such weapons. Again, there is a reason teenagers can not be President of the United States and one must be at least 35 years of age.

That said, if citizens are asked to de-escalate ownership of Weapons of War, why not ask governments to do the same thing? After all, the main reason there are over 400 million guns in America is because Americans simply do not trust their government. This is a sad but true fact and probably has been true since the government lied about the Kennedy assassination.

Also, thanks to the media's constant repetition of World War II movies, all of us are acutely aware of what happened in Nazi Germany where 14 million Jews were slaughtered. Had they, and all German citizens, been permitted to "keep and bear," we would surely have had a different outcome.

Given the liabilities of governments, recently and down through history, as various studies show(1), maybe it's time the U.S. Government -- especially the citizens who run for office in that government -- consider their roll in mass shootings. If WE THE PEOPLE own 400 million guns because we don't trust the elites in the government (who are surrounded by body guards), what can the people in the government do to become more trust worthy? After all, if government is more trustworthy, perhaps fewer citizens would feel the need to own guns, especially Weapons of War. If fewer citizens felt the need to own guns, especially Weapons of War, maybe there would be fewer mass shootings.

That said, it's unlikely there is just one solution to this problem. Obviously, and by definition, a person who shoots children is mentally ill. Whether that person is under psychiatric care or on medications is irrelevant: a person who shoots kids is mentally ill.

Given this, Society has to ask the question: What makes a person mentally ill? Is it a physical problem or a mental problem? And somewhere in the equation both the government and the society must take some of the responsibility because when a teenager shoots 19 kids he doesn't even know, it's obvious that this is a MESSAGE TO SOCIETY. That's the motive. That's WHY he did it. It's a message.

In this case, the "message" from Salvador Ramos is: "Society, I hate you and I am going to destroy what you value most, your kids, so you can feel a similar pain to the pain you have inflicted on me." What other message or motive could there be? Occam's Razor.

Ramos is only 18. He hardly knows much about politics so he probably doesn't hate the Democrats or the Republicans (yet). He probably doesn't even vote. More likely he hates "Society." He developed this hatred from the time he was a child, just like the children he shot. Now, he hates his grandmother, his parents, his family, his neighbors, his friends, his girlfriend, the other kids at school. He hates his life. He has no money. No future. No hope. He has even been barred from graduation. He has no drivers license. He hates everything about his miserable existence. So, if this is the case, it's "understandable" that all he wants to do is take drugs and/or die.

After all, from Academia to YouTube, endless books and movies state how unfathomably immense the Universe is and how tiny Earth and each of us are. We are constantly hammered with how insignificant we are as well as the theory that there's is no meaning to Life. And to support this view, secular Marxists that now dominate the government since the 1960s have removed religion and worship from the public school system. Engel v. Vitale, as part of the long march through the cultural institutions, removed everything uplifting and everything spiritual for kids. Now there is just dialectic materialism. Nihilism. Nietzsche. All else, especially religion, is "misinformation."

Given this state of affairs, is it any surprise a hopeless teenager opted to end it all -- and take as many people as possible with him as a message. The motive: give Society some of the pain it gave him.

And all of this hate is facilitated by alcohol and drugs, legal and illegal. But when do we get to know if the shooter was on psych drugs or regular drugs? As discussed, the shooter was mentally ill by definition, so the question becomes, was he medicated? This is the question that always seems to be obfuscated by the Mainstream Media because the media, especially network TV, endlessly advertises Big Pharma's products and makes millions, if not, billions of dollars. It doesn't help sales when the mass shooter is on YOUR drug. So the Mainstream Media is not going to address pharmaceutical drugs if it can avoid such discussion.
          
Another solution is the issue of hardening schools. Obviously Robb Elementary School was a soft target, what would be more accurately categorized as a "Dangerous School," defined and discussed in the documentary, GOOD GUYS WITH GUNS. And, as with most mass shootings, when seconds count, the police arrive in minutes -- in this case 30 to 60 minutes. But, not only did they arrive after everyone was dead, some of them rolled up in million dollar, armored vehicles (so no one would get hurt). The price tag for just one of these vehicles could have paid the salary for 25 armed guards in 25 schools for a year. At the very least it could have paid for better arms for the school guard who was literally out-gunned by an insane teenager with an AK-47.

Unless taxpayer-funded government schools, and all schools, adopt common sense measures that remove them from the "Dangerous School" list, mass shootings will continue.

In the meantime, citizens need to change their operating basis as to how to handle this society-induced, government-facilitated plague because the gun control lobby's sole "solution" of disarmament is simply not sufficient, nor wise. If 95% of the shooters are on, or coming off, SSRI anti-depressants -- as the data conveyed in the movie, GOOD GUYS WITH GUNS, shows -- then SSRI drugs must be addressed, not just feel-good measures, like banning guns or the crazy concept of "gun-free zones."
          
Unless taxpayer-funded government schools, and all schools, adopt common sense measures, citizens should start class-action suing school township boards (and superintendents) that fail to provide adequately-armed security and/or that advocate students be on any kind of (psych) drugs for real or imagined maladies, such as ADHD. Note what the well-known psychiatrist, Peter Breggin MD, says about the mentally ill and SSRI drugs in the movie GOOD GUYS WITH GUNS.
 
Rather than seek out or apply real solutions, 19 children and 2 adults were slaughtered in an Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas because the Gun Control Lobby seeks to further "justify" the disarming of American citizens, a "solution" that would expose them to liabilities of potentially worse rogue actors in the state. Anyone doubt that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely? And remember Stalin's Russia and Hitler's Germany? Again, GOOD GUYS WITH GUNS, explicates the history of governments and how they have treated their unarmed subjects and citizens down through the ages.

Watch GOOD GUYS WITH GUNS to get the facts, a movie the Mainstream Media, and even YouTube, has shadow-banned. Find out about the intentions of the Framers of the U.S. Constitution and how they compare with the intentions of the gun control lobby. Find out why "Bad Guys With Malice" want the Second Amendment abolished, almost to the exclusion of all other viable solutions.

Re: 19 CHILDREN DEAD -- The Dem's Gun-free Zones in Action


There apparently was no warning Ramos was THIS Whacko. Until the US considers the Australian solution in some form. (How about no AR 15 and AK47 sales under 25 for a start?). I realize it won’t happen but it would have stopped the last 2 mass murders some

Australia also had a solution to the Wuhan flu. I'll pass.

MASS SHOOTINGS - Some Possible Remedies
by James Jaeger

Almost every jewelry store and every politician has armed guards ... so what's with the government schools.

Most likely the solution is multifaceted. Off the top of my head, I would suggest the following:

1) At least 1 trained guard for every 500 students, armed with a military-pattern weapon such as an AR-15.

2) At least 5% of the teachers and/or school administrators trained and covertly armed. Volunteer basis, confidential rotating duty, local police coordination. Locked gun cabinets through out the school, just like fire extinguishers.

3) Blast/bullet-proof door with wide angle peep hole, no window, on every class room, library, lavatory, gym and cafeteria. Safe spaces should be lockable from inside, with easy access, lock-box key on outside.

4) One locked, man-trap, entrance for the entire school. Many exit doors that auto close and lock and that are human error proof. All windows on first floor of school entrance proof but easy exit-enabled. All windows on second and higher floors of school entrance proof but easy exit-enabled with escape ladders.

5) SSRI antidepressants should be banned and made illegal.

6) All pharmaceutical drugs should be banned from being advertised in the public domain. Selling prescription drugs on TV is practicing medicine without a license.

7) Weapons of War should not be available to teenagers. Let every state set the age parameters.
 
8) Instead of invasive background checks into law-abiding, rational citizens, any and all kids under psychiatric care and/or on any prescription drugs should be logged into the background data base. Dossier surveillance should only be done on the segment of the population that has a propensity to commit atrocities. Same dossier surveillance for convicted criminals.
 
9) Rescind Engel v. Vitale Whether there is or is not a Deity, prayer or Bible reading and respect for all religious "establishments" should be reinstated into all schools on a volunteer basis. Stigma or hostility towards religious worship should be considered "religious bullying" and not tolerated.
 
10) If any shooter, mass or otherwise, is found to have participated in playing any shooter-game or watched any motion picture with a gun prior to the atrocity, the game or movie producer should be class action sued.

11) All of the parents of any child killed at a public school should class action sue the Department of Education as well as the local town ship where the school is located.

12) Any and all gun control laws should be rescinded as infringements on the Second Amendment.

13) Gun-free zones are illegal.

14) The Militia of the several states should be revitalized. Training and arming teachers is in essence the militia system.

If there is one thing to learn from this incident it is that you had better hold onto every gun and bullet you can get your hands on. The police will not protect you, and the government is not on your side. NO NEW GUN RESTRICTIONS! NONE! ZERO! PERIOD!

Re: MASS SHOOTINGS - What Are Some Viable Solutions?


Tbh I think America has painted itself into a corner from which it can't escape. The 2A is an archaic document that didn't have the long view of where technology would take the gun. Muskets compared to an AR15 are just inconceivable. And unfortunately once the genies out the bottle there's no way of stuffing him back in again. America is overflowing with guns...the idea that you could have a program that stripped people of their guns - imagine being the guy knocking on people's doors going "Okay hand over your guns please." - He might meet some resistance...imagine how many violent stand offs there would be - hard to believe it would save lives. And the bad guys aren't going to comply with giving up their guns. There'll always be a black market for guns if they become in some way restricted. The bad guys will always have the means to get hold of a gun. So basically America is fùcked, you're the only country in the world that has this problem and you're stuck with it. You just have to accept that massacres are a part of your culture. A massacre is a big mac. A massacre is rock n roll. A massacre is apple pie. A massacre is the stars and stripes. Maybe if you guys pray enough after the next atrocity God will stop it from happening.

Realistically, someone killing 19 children and 2 teachers on a shooting spree is nothing compared to all the people who are killed in big cities like Chicago every day.(1) Absolutely none of that compares to deaths from drug overdose, mostly fentanyl from Mexico.(2)

The Groomer solution to every problem is to take away rights. They hate the First Amendment even more than they hate the Second.(3) I see no reason to give them any ground whatsoever.

Besides, the Groomers have kneecapped the police and called for their defunding while they let dangerous criminals run free.(4) Guns are the only refuge we have left.

The genie we have to stuff back into the bottle is not that wonderful Second Amendment. The Shade of Adolf is nodding his head in his grave at the idea of disarming the populace.

The genie we have to stuff back into the bottle is the Marxist-infused mess our school system has become, which appears to be spitting-out nihilistic young "natural born killers" on the regular.

A good example for us here is what Israel has done to radically minimize their school-shooting issue:

1) Minimize entrance and exit options.

2) Used armed guards on the smallest number of them that result from walling-up others, and from fixing the locks on long-broken "Fire doors."

3) Also arm the teachers and administrators . All the armed folks in this policy get regular Cop certification and testing of their training.

These simple, straightforward policies have worked very well in Israel.

And please realize that Isreal faces our internal Western World Nihilism...

But unlike us, they also benefit from a bracing, in-your-face wake-up call from reality, in the form of a palpable, physical enemy.

One situated right there. Not on the other side of the world. No, right there, screaming for their death, on the other side of a very, very near border. That cold, hard reality is not available to the ever, ever softer Normies that now populate this land.

To get these policies in place would be unimaginably hard even here in the US. That can be seen by hard they would be to enact even here, in "DeSantis-Land."

In Florida, we've got the same entrenched, PC, SJW Orcs running our schools and all too many school boards as the rest of the country has.

Thus we shall see this march to more massacres continue. No question at all about that - because the folks running those places refuse to do these clearly effective things.

They cannot agree to them. Among other reasons - many of them appear to be actually repulsed by guns.

>So basically America is fùck_ed, you're the only country in the world that has this problem and you're stuck with it.

Actually Proff, you are just as fuck_ed -- or more fuck_ed. The U.S. may have the problem of all the citizens having guns, hence occasional mass shootings, but if you bother to read any history you will know that ANY government can turn tyrannical or even into Nazi Germany. It's the nature of the beast. Give an elite all the weapons and good luck. Governments have killed over 262 million of their own citizens in just the past century. What are you going to do if your nice, well-behaved government decides to do things that you cits don't like? You're going to bend over and take it up the ass, because you're in no better position than the Jews in Nazi Germany.

Give me citizen mass shootings any day over government mass tyranny.

You probably haven't bothered to watch GOOD GUYS WITH GUNS because deep down you don't want to confront the fact that you, and your fellow citizens, are actually slaves to the whims of your government -- the good/bad guys with all the guns.
