An amazing case for reducing gun ownership in America

"Assault rifles" are used in approx. 2% of crimes.
There are upwards of 2 million "assault rifles" privately owned and millions upon millions of large capacity clips in circulation.
Court Houses have security in place to insure no one can bring guns into a court room.
Airports have security to insure the same.
It's time to secure our campuses.
It's time that existing laws are enforced and for law enforcement to do their jobs from the FBI to the local authorities.
Cruz was a walking bill board screaming for attention...

Maybe if it's some fancy school where they are worried about famous people's kids getting taken or in "special" cases then I could see militarizing a school yard.
But I've got to tell you... to me it just sounds like one of the dumbest ideas I've ever heard. There was a cop at this last shooting who ran away. But janitors and lunch ladies are going to solve the problem? Come on. That's just stupid.

I agree your idea is stupid, lunch ladies and janitors...ha!
Unless the lunch lady and janitor have served in the military and or have training in the use of firearms.
Many folks, including educators & school support employees already have concealed carry permits.
With some additional training these folks would be a deterrent for those that would attack what they believe is a "gun free zone".
Best to start expanding ones possibilities when it comes to securing our campuses.
The second amendment isn't going anywhere.

Training in the use of firearms equivalent to that given in the military is the Second Article of the NRRA Constitution.

But what's their percentage for the number of mass shooting per year?

That school up in Conn. This school in Florida. That theater in Aurora Colorado. The guy who shot up the rock concert in Vegas. As far as I can think... in every instance it was an assault rifle.

Again that's stupid. We live in a country where we've cut funding for mental health programs and made it easier for people to buy military grade weapons at the same time.

Asking school employees to train with guns on their days off I don't personally feel is going to be able to save us from the fact that Washington's lack of leadership or thoughtful governance. Moreover as I pointed out above- on the issue of gun's and crazy people- is in fact the government is a big part of the problem.

True, and they are all tragic. But these are still a small number of shootings and we still have the second amendment.
In California we have some of the toughest gun laws anywhere. But that didn't stop the terrorists in San Bernardino.
Had the neighbors spoken up prior to the shootings....who knows
What's the % of "assault weapons" used in mass shootings given that there are upwards of 2 million in circulation?
Had the authorities done there job and at the very least removed the guns from Cruz's possession, this would not have occurred.
When was the last hijacking of an airplane in the USA? 9/11/2001. Improve school security & limit access to the schools.
You can't enter many office building without showing ID's, walking through a scanner & announcing who you are there to see.
We need better back ground capabilities and data collection. If the information isn't placed or up to date, what good is it.
We need better enforcement of existing laws...

"Again that's stupid"

We live in a country that has the second amendment.
The school employees would be VOLUNTARY...no one is asking that ALL employees get training and carry weapons.
Washington is one great big cesspool....has been for years.
The SCOTUS has ruled that individual states can utilize background test and waiting periods...California has some of the toughest.

In Florida, there's no waiting period for would-be buyers of rifles or other long guns.
 
Seeing blood, it’s just not my thing.

I’m not good for medical. In other words, if you cut your finger and there’s blood pouring out, I’m gone.

I was at an event during which I looked away when a man fell off the stage and started bleeding.

He was right in front of me and I turned away. I didn’t want to touch him … he’s bleeding all over the place. You know, on a beautiful marble floor, didn’t look like it. It changed color. Became very red.

That's just how I roll.

Geez. Didn't realize you held such a strony negative opinion of Trump. A "FAT COWARDLY SLOB". Indeed. I keep reminding you to fact check my traps before your stepping into them. Nevertheless you persist.

Here's the actual quote I lifted from an actual news organization, not a Russian troll factory.

"Trump has previously expressed disgust for seeing blood, saying that “it’s just not my thing.”

“I’m not good for medical. In other words, if you cut your finger and there’s blood pouring out, I’m gone,” he told radio host Howard Stern in 2008.

In the same interview, he went on to describe a charity event at his Mar-a-Lago resort, during which he looked away when a man fell off the stage and started bleeding.

“He was right in front of me and I turned away. I didn’t want to touch him … he’s bleeding all over the place, I felt terrible,” Trump said. “You know, beautiful marble floor, didn’t look like it. It changed color. Became very red.”
