  1.  @justinwebb3311  It's hard to imagine how you fail to grasp this argument so badly. Not a single person in the school was armed, hence why so many kids died. The police stood there and did nothing, thus shirking their duty, which I would hope you'd agree doesn't make them good men. Therefore, it's plainly obvious that a private citizen with a gun inside the school would have done more than the cops did in this scenario. And then, despite this obviously egregious shirking of duty by local law enforcement, you're going to tell me to trust them and give away my guns as a lawful citizen who has never fired them out of anger, trusting that next time, they'll definitely do the right thing. Definitely. Does that make sense to you yet? 'Cause I must admit I'm struggling.

  2.  @tiphotisted  Nah, we Texans are actually saying "The teachers should have been armed." Have been saying it for years, will continue saying it, but the no guns on school campus policy is a federal mandate

  3.  @Buckycarson  Well, things tend to get complicated when your nation is the 3rd largest in the world with the most diverse population, shitty infrastructure and a sectarianism fetish practically written into the Constitution. It's relatively easy to make sure nobody shoots anyone when you're, say, Switzerland for example. Let's not pretend every nation's population is the same. But let's also not pretend that twice as many guns as the nation's population will magically vanish overnight if made illegal, or that the police, who we see here failing to perform, will be able to protect unarmed lawful citizens.

  4.  @unchargedpickles6372  And why weren't the local police able to acquire that same key? Makes no difference that it was a fed.

  5.  @Buckycarson  Are you trying to imply that India is less violent than the US? I don't get what you're trying to say. That example did not help your case at all. Japan is an island nation that restricts immigration very heavily. They don't have, for example, cartel members going in and out of their borders willy-nilly. Nor do they have an intelligence agency that sells so-called assault weapons to criminal organizations in their neighboring countries on the down low, let alone the up-and-up (Fast and Furious). Again, not really fair to compare these nations. Population diversity numbers in almost every nation simply don't compare to the US, whose "white" population is steadily approaching 50%, and the largest ethnic minority has only been an established free community for about 160 years. You simply don't see this combination of cultural clashes and problems anywhere else. Most police departments in the US do in fact have ARs, and there isn't any particular reason to believe the department protecting the Uvalde jurisdiction wouldn't have had them. You can find numerous videos of policemen responding to active shooters using ARs of their own and they are not SWAT team members or feds. I have seen an AR sitting in the back of a college campus police cruiser when I went to college. "2 18 years olds with obvious mental health issues get weapons" I agree this is a problem and I'm wondering if there is more to the story of him buying the AR. According to all his peers, he is obviously disturbed. Kids at his school knew that he tortured animals, tried to pick fights with other kids, mutilated himself for attention, and so on. Yet none of these things were taken into consideration when he bought a gun, although gun stores in the US reserve the right to refuse service to any reason, and most apply that policy without reservation. I find it suspect that this kid who just turned 18 turned up at the store and was sold an AR without any misgivings at all, even though he has a scarred face from mutilating himself and so on. Why were his numerous fights/animal harm incidents not reported and put on his record somewhere? Despite what you may have heard, federal background checks are required for a gun purchase. Nobody in his community seems to think they're accountable for their lack of action despite this kid's obviously destructive behavior. Everyone keeps saying that more needs to be done, but when they're the ones who might be responsible suddenly that crowd goes silent

  6.  @johntatman9168  And yet, a single open carry guy in the class room would have done more than those cops did before the feds showed up. Hard to imagine how you don't see that here. It's hard when your law enforcement agency is bound by bad decisions made by their superiors. Private citizens aren't bound by such a command structure. If anything your statement shows that more private citizens should carry because the police are likely to stand there and do nothing, as they did here. How am I supposed to have enough confidence to give away my peace of mind and protection when the police act like this? Have some awareness for the situation here.

  7.  @flipnotrab  Sadly many cops are former military. Following stupid orders is ingrained into their psyche.
