    I find it hilarious you just tried to act like you knew what a “mass” shooter thinks.

    Interesting..

    Why do people act is if mass shooters have motives the same as a petty thief?

    This soft targets bullshit precisely that... Bullshit.

    Name one mass school shooter that has escaped. That should be enoigh tonassume that aby future school shooter couldn't give two ***** about the the potential "ressistence". Cruz was one of the very few who actually was captured but again no escape. The vast majoirty are very content in dying in a blaze of "glory". They are attention seekers .they want to get into a massive firefight.

    You act like you know how they think. Their actions suggest they have a plan. These mass shootings occur in places that firearms aren’t. A church outside SA, a hotel high above a concert in Vegas, school zones. They walk in to these scenarios with multiple mags/plan in tact. It isn’t a coincidence that these shootings are occurring in areas guns typically aren’t allowed in. These guys are all cowards.

    This stuff isn’t a typica whim of thought.

    They probably aren’t going to attack areas where they are going to expect immediate return fire and not accomplish what they want.

    You seriously are an idiot. Name one public gathering area where mass shooters usually target where people are routinely packing.

    Why aren't their mass shootings in federal buildings? They all are gun free zones. Gun free zones do not mean law enforcement checks at the front desk and hands over their firearms .

    None of these people had a plan to live out a life after. That is ancommin theme. They are all hyper militarized and fascinated with military equipment such as plate carriers, tactical vests, rifles with attachements. There is a common pattern where 99% of them do not have attentions of living a normal life after.

    You are off your rockers if toy rhink these psychopaths DON'T want to be in a massive firefight .

    Stop treating them like common theives where their intent is to escape without being detected .

    You want America to enforce gun laws that can’t be made at this point. You want a solution that isn’t obtainable quite frankly.

    Yes. The narrative of gun free zones is an idiotic narrative that only idiots believe in.

    The vast majority of massive public gathering areas are gun free zones. To assume that a shooter shot up a massive public area because of "gun free zones" rather than "there are a **** ton of people here" is grasping at straws for a specific agenda.

    Sorry I'm typing on a phone really fast.

    Didn't the parkland shooter escape?

    And before you say it, yes, I know I am an idiot.

    Curious, what gun laws are you suggesting can't be made or can't be enforced?

    Facts suggest you are quite wrong.

    Something tells me you will just believe what makes sense to you.

    It probably wouldn't be bad in some situations, but overall, I don't want teachers having guns at school either, they should be busy teaching. It's the reason why schools need sufficient armed guards to provide adequate security for the teachers and students.

    Here's the scenario

    • 911 call received of possible shooter in school
    • Shooter is moving between floors and hallways firing indiscriminately, pandemonium ensues
    • Coach Strickland, fully trained former SEAL team member, arms himself and secures his students
    • Local police arrive en masse, secure perimeter, and enter school
    • Coach Strickland, gun in hand, heroically sprints towards gunfire
    • Local police heroically sprint towards gunfire, smoke billowing, children screaming
    • Local police and Coach Strickland encounter each other at hallway crossing

    Odds of Coach Strickland receiving friendly fire?

    You just uses a public space in Vegas as a data point for gun free zone.

    It is quite obvious that "public gathering are" is a more important criteria than "gun free zone".

    It’s coming.... Huey Newton was right. Minorities (especially blacks) need to take advantage of the laws and lawfully arm themselves.

    Suddenly the way things are handled will change somewhat.
