I know about rural areas with drug problems, they aren't even close to as dangerous as the city. The solution is when someone robs a store, or car jacks they must not get out on bail reform. I guess you are blind and don't see what's happening. If you think you will rid all crime and criminals, your as stupid as Mayor Scott. There are bad people and when they steal and rob, they need to be locked up, I know it's sad for them, but there is no other way.
And since you seem to luv democracy so much, I don't what's so great about majority rules? All it takes is 17 million idiots to destroy a good thing.
Fix school shooting = have a classroom of rifles, the old-time rural communities did that, guess what, it worked .

Wrong on all accounts on me. It's not what or who you listen to. It's what you actually believe is true. You dove-tailed right into the Marxist equation and followthe super-partisan road. I am an Independent and I can agree with a democrat and I can agree with a Republican. I have liberal beliefs, as well as conservative beliefs. I have never watched OAN. But, again, it's what I watch. It is what I believe.

Don't be disingenuous then. If you want to point out the problem but not do anything to fix it, then it's all talk.
I'm not too naive to understand that tribes have conflicts and take land from one another. Of course, this has happened throughout history. Colonialism is a different story. Can you name another situation where 1) 90 million natives were killed 2) 50 million slaves died in the slave trade, and those who survived were forced into free labor, and 3) the natives were essentially replaced by colonizers and other immigrants?
India alone claims that over 1.8 billion Indians died due to deprivation, indentured servitude, etc. while they were under the control of the British.Last edited by GrouchyUSMC; 12-08-2021 at 11:22 PM.

I actually listen to a black radio talk station in baltimore, bjizz most likely knows who it is fachi or something like that, the caller base usually points to racists excuses still. Pretty sad when there is black controlled everything and they still cant see the whose stealing all the money. I always get a chuckle from callers who say they will never leave behind their people in the hood.

J, Please take the time to study below.
There is common myth that commie-nism is left while nazi-sim is right. Stalin and Hitler had many things in common. The only difference they had was their economic point-of-view. Otherwise, both were pure authoritarians who killed millions.
The real right wingers are libertarians and anarchists who just want to left alone.
I identify as a right-winger because I am Anarcho / Libertarian.
I do not trust gubmint. I do not trust democrats or republican. Republican are to the 'right' of democrats, but they are far from being right winger, just like hitler was not that far from stalin because he was NOT a right-winger.
The problem with statism is that democrats believe the blue team is the savior while republicans believe the red team is the savior.
Liberalism is often associated with communism. But this is NOT TRUE. Classical liberals and libertarians tend to fall on the right of the spectrum. The Founding Fathers would be considered right-wingers by today's standard because they were classical liberals and libertarian.
In reality, liberalism has morphed into progressivism.
Conservatism is to the right of progressives, but just like leftists, conservatives also support spending and big gubmint.
A liberal is someone who challenges the status quo. A conservative is someone who conserves the status quo. This is why the Founding Fathers were classical liberals, cuz they challenged England's status quo. Fast forward to modern day. A liberal (progressive) is someone who loves to screw things up, while conservatives love to preserve the screw ups. Hope that makes sense.
It's really easy to breakdown. One is either for freedom or for tyranny. Gubmint - no matter what color bandana they wear - is never the solution and always the problem. Gubmint is pure evil. Until Humanity wakes up and realizes that gubmint is a criminal corporation who controls the monopoly of force - both military and police - Humanity will continue to be enslaved.

I see you have a strong understanding of the psychology of school shooters and have put a lot of thought into operational issues involved in mitigating deaths and injuries during a school shooting by giving additional juveniles easy access to firearms they can use in an enclosed area.
On a more serious note, what do you do in the real world Mark? I'm also curious to know what LWW does if he's willing to share. Nothing specific that would identify you, just the field and role you have in that field. Clearly you guys aren't researchers in a STEM field, but knowing a little about you would be interesting to me since I'm involved in a pro 2nd project and your points of view are interesting to me.Could you define ______ for me, please?

It's easy to blame guns. But everybody ignores the fact that many violent criminals / school shooters grew up WITHOUT A FATHER FIGURE.
There is strong correlation.
Gubmint destroyed the family unit by design. Family is the most important form of gubmint. Manhood is not toxic, feminism is.
Further, welfarism encouraged single motherhood. And the current evil justice system is designed to fail the father. Just look at cases where courts almost always side with moms. No wonder male have a much higher suicide rate.
We're so addicted to blaming tools like guns. But we are too lazy to get to the root cause because the truth is scary.Last edited by NorwichGrad; 12-09-2021 at 09:09 AM.

My comment was with sarcasm, as it is never a good idea to arm students. I did not and would not suggest that. I merely said that it would give a shooter second thoughts, but not a realistic solution.
I do not know the first thing to do in the real world. Not what I do.Helping one person may not change the world, but it could change the world for one person.

Well... I've had 2 shots of AZ and today a PZ booster.
So far - I can't feel the difference in quality, but it I come in contact with Omicron and I feel it working I'll let you know which one is doing its thing between the AZ and PZ.
Did the CEO also clarify if it also protects you from Unicron, the evil transformer because that would be really good too in case of Alien transformer invasion, presumably to happen in January

Nothing prestigious like your University NG, but my high school still had an armoury and a range while I was there, the only remaining teacher range qualified retired just after I left and it all went, plus a historical link to a local(ish) army regiment, but they were pathetic .22 rifles, actual antiques, most were bolt but one was a BSA Martini which means it can't have been made after the late 1930s!! actually Martini Action is quite fun, if you really crank it you can ping the spent cartridge flying well behind you. Nothing as modern and effective as an M14 though, that's a serious bit of kit. With a better sight and only slight modifications you could have a cheap-rent sniper setup there.

You had me at guns. That's all that matters in the free world. LOL..
The M14 were nice rifles. When I left the army and became a civilian I loved the M14 so much I bought the civilian version Springfield M1A Match, which I used in competition. Easily grouped less than 1-inch shots at 100-yards.This above all..

To be fair, some evidence supports by knowing there is an armed person there can dissuade trouble.
There is circumstantial evidence Adam Lanza was actually intending to shoot up his high school, but the presence of a school resource officer's vehicle in the front lot may have made him leave and go to Sandy Hook instead.

Dad, I will have a Master's degree in the coming year, much of my research and work is actually in security.
When it comes to finding the solutions to these problems unfortunately there are others things that are involved that we as a free nation can't do much about. The gang banger culture is huge in the youth, it's worse in kids from suburbs, they don't live the thug life for the same reasons as the real poor kids from bad areas and whom are around the life. The kids from suburbs are looking to be "hard", it's in their gangster rap music, and the other loner kids are hooked on violent video games.
I grew up obsessed with Rambo and I played Contra, and listened to NWA but I knew it was fake, money making BS (except NWA street life, I was more of a GodFather gangster fan, over the rap chit) and not to be acted out.
I'm a fan of youth strength training programs and sports to save these kids without fathers and wanting to live destructive lives. When I was finishing my undergrad as an adult, I was looking a new school, the campus didn't have a gym, the dean snickered and said "this is an educational institution, we don't need a gym". I said, I don't care how smart you are, your health don't care about that, plus many young people need it. In school I always included strength training in every topic, because they didn't, it's the key to many problems.
But then again I've seen some strong mofos who use their power for bad, like gang activity, intimidation, you name it. It helps, but it don't help the true evil in the world.

Congrats though on being almost done with your MS.
I was curious about the firearms in schools statement which I don't think I could have disagreed with more. GrouchyUSMC made a very valid point and I'll agree with you both that in many cases the threat of retaliation can be a deterrent to an attack. Obviously firearms have a roll in some types of security and personal defense, but I'll always argue that more firearms in student hands isn't an effective way to intervene. Not unless those students are taking up a firearms related sport, making friends, and learning proper respect and handling habits. When you realize 40% of school or "mass casualty" shooters kill themselves, you have to wonder if some of them would be happy to have a bunch of other students grabbing rifles and possibly firing off rounds inside the building. What a catastrophe we could create...
I do agree there's no single cause or obvious solution, and I appreciate you letting me know about the security work and your thoughts. Fits some for me with what I suspect was a reflex response to JBC's posts. I can also see your thoughts on this issue aren't nearly summarized by that one line, so thanks for the reply.
And now, back to our regularly scheduled programming.
