LOL! You've been snared by your own post. YOU are the guy you are posting about! Look in the mirror Wez. You come on here saying how immoral people who are actually doing something to help others, while you post about your new gym you just built at your newly remodeled home... and you do little if anything at all to help the less fortunate.
You are the ultimate hypocrite... sad.

My sons school held an optional assembly that he decided not to attend. I would have had no problem had he decided to go because we have already talked about it at home. He felt like this was just an excuse for some kids to get out of class.
Protecting the kids is not about gun control. It's about people control. How do we prevent people from killing kids at school in the future. Only a short sighted person would believe gun control is the answer. Adding security, metal detectors and yes, certified armed teachers. Those were a few things my son brought up.
I have had a long discussion with one of my daughters about what she is supposed to do in the classroom if something like this happens. I found it interesting that she told me that her responsibility is only to the kids in her class and that the first thing she is supposed to do is lock the doors and not to unlock them even if someone is screaming to let them in.

I hear you, man. It’s about the people, not the guns. Those school massacres could have been done with any weapon. The teenagers with guns weren’t the issue.

You mean Jimmy Carter's buddy Jim Jones?
Most of them died from the coolaid.
Not exactly the same coolaid those people on this site drink, but close.

Thomas Sowell: Social Justice Philosophy Is a Blank Check for Government Power
Forcing an equality of outcome for disadvantaged groups requires enormous outside interference.
“In politics, the great non-sequitur of our time is that 1) things are not right and that 2) the government should make them right. Where right all too often means cosmic justice, trying to set things right means writing a blank check for a never-ending expansion of government power.”
This key passage from Thomas Sowell’s 1999 book, The Quest for Cosmic Justice, frames Sowell’s thoughtful analysis and rejection of arguments advanced by “social justice warriors,” or more briefly, SJWs.
Although written nearly 20 years ago, Sowell’s insights are especially relevant today, when you consider the heights of influence social justice activism has reached—especially on college campuses—in 2018.
For a blueprint to understand and refute today’s increasingly vocal SJWs, Sowell’s book proves to be an indispensable resource.

For the social justice warrior, equality of treatment under the law is not a sufficient condition to achieve justice. Citing philosopher John Rawls’ A Theory of Justice, Sowell asserts that SJWs insist “having everyone play by the same rules or be judged by the same standards” is found to be lacking. True equality of opportunity, in their view, means “providing everyone with equal prospects of success from equal individual efforts,” and “putting segments of society in the position that they would have been in but for some undeserved misfortune.”

Indeed, the quest for social justice “focuses on one segment of the population and disregards the interests of others who are not the immediate focus of discussion, but who nevertheless pay the price of the decisions made.” Such processes, it turns out, necessarily involve treating people unequally.
