[QUOTE="die_mole, post: 1089848, member: 73648"] This was about 10 years ago but I remember someone approached our ex-military teachers with the idea of arming them in case of a shooting and they were extremely uncomfortable being put in that situation. Texas, gun sale loophole, or black market. I know that in a lot of states people with mental health history cannot buy firearms. Personally I'm very uncomfortable with a gun in my hands but I understand hunting so I think that appropriate guns should be allowed but we need to be cracking down on other things. As I was going to bed last night all I could think about was how hard it would be for anyone in that community to do the same. That then transitioned to how we will likely do nothing to prevent another community from going through this pain or more families from losing young ones in such a meaningless way. I grew up about an hour away from the Amish school shooting and it happened while I was in sixth grade. Active shooter drills were as common as fire drills. A common fear on my baseball team (myself included) was oncoming cars cause that person might have a gun and you couldn't see it. Our political climate is way too ****** for anything to change now. The window was around Sandy Hook but idk if we are ever getting that time back in America. [/QUOTE]
