You should start thinking for youself instead of regurgitating the misinformation continually being spewed out by the progressive media. The AR-15 is NOT a weapon of war. It is a semi-automatic rifle that functions in the same way as any semi-automatic rifle or pistol. Military rifles can be fired in fully automatic configuration, an AR-15 CAN NOT. The AR does not stand for automatic rifle. It represents the name of the company initially designed it, Armalite, hence the designation AR. Guns don’t fire themselves. The evil/demented individual is responsible for all murders and will use whatever means is available to accomplish their goal. Take the time to check actual FBI murder statistics and ypu will find that guns are not the top weapon used in murders and semi-automatic rifles are way down the list in firearms used in murders. People who murder should never be released from prison, no matter what type of weapon is used. Unfortunately, our progressive legal system allows killers to be released from prison sometimes after they have only served a few years of their sentence.
You, like many others, refuses to recognize that our governmemt has been taken over by tyrants who want to strip us of not only our 2nd amendment rights but also to destroy our consitutional republic in it’s entireity.

Erik, thank you for your comment. You made some great points full of logic and sound reasoning. Keep asking the questions, my brother.

Hello Fran,
I very much appreciate you taking the time to voice your dissent of my opinion. If the people do not actually sit down and start discussing their differences in a reasonable way, we will continue to see this chasm of hostility grow deeper and wider between our people.

Like all Americans, I’m sickened and completely heartbroken whenever kids are killed anywhere. School shootings are a serious problem that needs to be immediately remedied. Taking away or infringing upon the right to bear arms from honest, free Americans is not the solution. First of all, it doesn’t work. Chicago and New York City(for example) have some of the strictest gun laws in the nation, and yet murder and gun crimes are completely out of control. Innocent families who obey the laws can not walk the streets at night because it is so dangerous in these “Gun-Free cities “. Thanks to the anti-gun legislation passed by democrats in these specific regions- fathers have completely lost their right to strap a 9mm to their backs and protect their family. Yet criminals are armed to the teeth because they do not adhere to the law. Only the good and reasonable citizens follow the law. Criminals will always find a way to commit crimes and crazy people will always do crazy things.
But, yes, we must be proactive here. I kind of like your idea about gun manufacturers and gun organizations sponsoring armed guards at schools.
Here’s another idea: how about all of the police departments move their precincts into the schools?
That’s two pragmatic solutions that some “nobody” from Pequea, Pennsylvania was able to come up with. Why can’t the politicians find a pragmatic solution to directly protect our kids? Writing words on bills and hanging “gun free zone” signs around schools isn’t doing anything.

My whole point was that these democrat(and some republican) policies are aimed at a larger ideological strategy of disarming the population or at least those who stand in their way of promoting a Marxist-style society.
The kids and tragic events are being used by these corrupt politicians as tools, political pawns- amplified by your favorite cable news station, to emotionally manipulate the populace into disarming honest Americans.

In a perfect world where politicians were honest, the FBI wasn’t transformed into a political secret police, and justice was blind- red flag laws may be useful and practical. Unfortunately, Fran, this isn’t the reality of the world we are faced with.

By the way, if you sent an army into war with AR15s- they would be completely annihilated within minutes.
