Get Opp my rawn, Plick!
If given the chance. I would volunteer to work school security. I would really make time for that.
Nuff talk and let's protect our children and schools.

I joined the NRA recently because I completed training to be an instructor. I thought it wouldn't look good to not be a member if they where going to back me as an instructor. However I am questioning my decision lately about membership. A lots of politics flying around.

NRA is political. That surprises you? What exactly are you questioning?

I will be renewing my NRA membership, seriously considering becoming a life member.
In public I will certainly be wearing my NRA hat from now on.

Sure, then they need to grow up and get out of the house.
And then buy their own computers/consoles and games.
In all seriousness though, the games themselves aren't the problem. Parents need to be involved in their kids' lives instead of sticking them in front of the TV with a video game controller.

This. So much this. Thisthisthisthis. Parents need to raise kids rather than just spawning them.
After reading this and thinking you're right, the NRA fights for our gun rights and as a new member I should support them. I think the beverages ha e had an effect, no more posting tonight TD

I like the school security idea. I called in to a local radio talk show the other day and made the point that most people believe there could be another school shooting someday and IF one believes that events like Sandy Hook could happen again THEN it makes perfect sense to have a defensive measure within the school.
After 9/11, a plan to stop terrorists from boarding planes was enacted AND they worked on providing a line of defense within the plane with stronger cockpit doors and more Air Martials. The thought being IF a terrorist boards a plane THEN there should be a line of defense on the plane.
Believing that you can legislate the end of evil is unrealistic.

I got laughed at again the other day for suggesting the idea that teachers be allowed to conceal carry at school, if they are up for it, and trained. Another guy said it's just a way to give guns to students, because the students will overpower the teachers and take the guns. I think that he gives our students in general less credit than he ought to, and that he has no idea how concealed carry works-- if you're carrying concealed, you don't banter on about the weapon you're carrying. It is silently there, and does not come out to play unless needed.
It's definitely a pipe dream... only one other guy backed me up and he is 40 year veteran of teaching who is also a big time hunter and gun enthusiast. Everyone else pretty much thinks I am crazy now.
I just got an email with a replay link (and no, I didn't scroll all the way back to check for dup)

There weren't any calls to ban or restrict video games. It was a preemptive strike to undercut the *entertainment* portion of mainstream media from any moral high ground.

If Mortal Kombat had a part of this, people wouldn't be shooting anyone because of the game. Last I recall, I haven't seen anyone walk down the street and rip someones spine out. How bout we place the blame where it should be. If people have mental conditions, why aren't they getting treated for it? Oh that's right, our wonderful healthcare system. The parents of these people that commit these crimes obviously did not bring their kids up correctly. I watch little kids wander up and down the roads all hours of the days and nights in my neighborhood because their parents don't give a rats ass about them, but I digress. Time to re-up with the NRA, I am getting a gun safe for Christmas, can't have her empty!!!

The violent video games argument is bogus, but it does feed into what he said about the mass media as a whole.
Mass shootings are like plane crashes; lots of people die in a sudden, unusual way, and, in spite of the fact that they rarely happen, the media reports them with incredible detail because they're so "interesting".
I'd say this is a symptom of some much deeper problems, but I'll stop here...
