I'm as anti-gun as the next guy if not more so, but god damn if I had to live in a country with so many fucking sub-human idiots I'd probably ne armed to the teeth too.

- That arming teachers is seriously being discussed, shows how broken the society is.PhanLo

- Didn't the man who is seemingly in charge of the country not mention more than a few times as a solution?PhanLo
- he did, but since he's fucking retard, it's not "seriously" being discussed ... I thought that was clear to anyone who isn't retardedmonospaced
- the point is, if you're suggesting arming teachers or guards at schools, you've already excused yourself from a serious discussionmonospaced
- There's already armed guards in some schools. But you're right Mono, nothing will happen, nothing will change. Next week there will be a new one.PhanLo

Friend of a friend posted this. Felt worth sharing here.
—————
I almost shot my classmates when I was fourteen years old.
I was not mentally ill. I had no juvenile criminal record. I'd never been suspended from school. I was a straight-A student.
I almost shot my classmates, because I experienced a moment of powerlessness and rage—like many teenagers do—and I had access to firearms.
The problem started when I was in ninth-grade. I took advanced foreign language classes, which meant I attended high school for first period and then took a separate bus from high school to my junior high. I was the youngest kid on the high school bus, and I had no friends in high school. That made me an easy target for a bully named Kyle.
Ninth grade was already a bad year for me, because my parents were getting divorced. Kyle turned it into a living fucking Hell. He incessantly teased me, slapped the back of my head, shoved me out of my seat, and made me into a spectacle for everyone's amusement and derision.
One day, I'd finally had enough. I can't remember what Kyle did or said, but I couldn't take it any more. I grabbed him by his throat and lifted him out of his seat and shook him like a rag doll while seething through clenched teeth: "STOP. FUCKING. WITH. ME." Then I tossed him back into his seat.
I thought that had ended it. I thought he'd stop bullying me after that.
I was wrong.
After school, a bunch of older kids who I didn't recognize started boarding my bus. Just before the bus pulled away from my junior high, Kyle waltzed up the steps, grinning. He pointed directly at me and said, "That's him."
It turns out Kyle and his friends had driven from the high school to the junior high, so they could ride my bus home with me and beat my ass. The entire trip, they laughed and bragged about how they were going to kick the shit out of me when we got to my bus-stop.
I had a long time to think about what I was going to do, and I decided that even though I was going to get a beatdown, I wasn't going to run, and I wasn't going to cry. I was just going to calmly get off the bus and start walking home. I figured they'd jump me as soon as the bus had pulled around the corner and was out of sight.
My hands are shaking as I write this. It's been over twenty years, and I still feel a sense of helplessness and rage when I think about that day.
The bus pulled up to my stop, and I got off. The swarm of high school kids piled off the bus behind me. As the bus pulled away, one of them shoved me from behind. I kept walking. They circled me, yelling and making threats.
But something strange happened. None of them took a swing at me.
I got to my house, put my key in the door as they stood behind me laughing, and I walked right in. When they realized there were no adults in the house, they started circling the building, banging on the doors and walls, and yelling at me to come out and fight them.
So I went upstairs, and I got a shotgun. I checked to make sure it was loaded. Then I released the safety and chambered a shell.
I walked back downstairs and held the barrel against the front door as some of these kids stood on the porch, pounding and yelling at me to let them in. I began to squeeze the trigger, anticipating the blast would penetrate the door and knock these kids to the ground. Then I'd fling the door open and start shooting everyone as they ran away in terror.
I wanted them to feel the same fear they'd inflicted on me. I wanted to hurt them like they'd hurt me. But most of all, I wanted them to feel powerless like I’d felt. I wanted to feel control over just one thing in my life.
As I started to squeeze the trigger, someone yelled that a car was coming, and the kids bolted from the porch and scattered. I was one second away—maybe even less than a second—from shooting my classmates.
Meanwhile, they've gone about their lives. They're in their late 30s and early 40s now. They probably have kids of their own, and they have no idea they almost died that day. They have no idea that behind that door, a scared and angry fourteen-year-old pointed a gun at them and was only a moment away from pulling the trigger.
I'm not proud of any of this. I am not typing any of this to glorify my behavior. I'm explaining what I did, so you will understand that the gun problem in America is not a mental health problem. I was not mentally ill. The problem is access to firearms.
If I'd had access to an AR-15 instead of a shotgun, I would have been quicker to pull the trigger. To my teenage mind, an AR-15 would have felt like the pinnacle of power. I would have felt like a bad-ass; like the characters I envied on TV and in video games. I would have felt like an Old Testament deity.
And I would have used that power to kill my classmates.
I have absolutely no doubt about this.
- that's pretty fucked up, although you can't really blame him, at that point they were intruders and he was protecting himself and his home, not quite the same_niko
- as shooting up a school, but yeah still pretty crazy. Thank for sharing._niko
- He wasn’t scared for his life, it was not defense in any way, and those weren’t intruders.monospaced
- So this story does point out, locked up gun might have deterred him. A person in good metal health could purchase and one bad day use it on someone.BabySnakes
- Nothing better for defense than having a gun locked up.monospaced
- Yup.maquito
- a brave confessionmugwart
- I was bullied to shit over in the UK. tormented, beaten to the point my mother didn't recognise. When Columbine happened I was given two weeks off bullying.mugwart
- this sickened me as the best weeks of school is when I was assisted with those murderers. It also sickened me that these bullies know the impact on lives theymugwart
- are inflicting. For me though these deaths are gun related the situation prior to the break down of minds is what caused thismugwart
- we live in a time of great injustices. We need to look as much into the WHY as the violence it self. We have to look within not through media.mugwart

- only thoughts, because they were already praying.
#thoughtsmoldero - Oh yeah that's right...
#Thoughtskona - I'm sure #mockingdeadpeople is helpingIRNlun6
- can we #hashtag our way out of this issue?dorf
- He's not mocking dead people. He's mocking the morons who think more guns make people safer, and that believe prayer actually works.monospaced
- And of course the mocking doesn't help. But maybe it starts to get the point across that something can and should be done at some point.monospaced
- Kona's right -- the people saying that more guns would have helped are delusionalGnash
- would a security guard with a gun have helped?IRNlun6
- the security guard would just have been shot firstGuyFawkes
- I guess it may have in this case, IRN. it's a shame that a church would need securityGnash
- I'm not even surprised media is stirring people up, but I'm reading some pretty important lib/dems going with the same line of attack.IRNlun6
- If the goal is to persuade people for more laws, perhaps this route is a bit counter-productive.IRNlun6
- apparently he didn't get the guns legally -- so if the current laws were enforced he wouldn't have had the weapon he usedGnash
- it's not only about laws, as we know those only function to be broken ... it's about a kind of top-down reform that doesn't infringe on american rightsmonospaced
- to some, interpretation of that 'right' is to be able to have the firepower to bring down the gov't if needed.Gnash
- as long as that's is the thinking I don't see how any reform will not infringe on that right.Gnash
- That kind of thinking isn't helping anyone. It's beyond irrational.monospaced

At least 10 people are dead and another 10 hospitalized after a mass shooting in Monterey Park, California, Saturday night, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
The suspect in the shooting fled the scene and "remains outstanding," the department said.
The shooting happened near a Lunar New Year festival celebration.- Say bye to guns Gringos, now... Otherwise, there will be no one left to tell :(OBBTKN

- this is insane. those eggs can make kids fat and kill a dog if the stupid fucking mutt eats one. the defense rifle is obvi protecting that girl.kona
- ^ Great new name for assault rifles. Defense rifle....or freedom rifle......kirshar12
- Gnash, the AR15 is not an automatic. the Automatic version is the M16 (I know semantics) But it's an important distinction.GM278
- and Kirshar12, AR stands for Armalie - the company that developed it. By definition an "Assault rifle" is full automaticGM278
- NOT that I'm suggesting ppl should have AR15's either. Just clarifying.GM278
- ^sorry Armalite not armalie (typo)GM278
- Oh i know, GM. I actually meant assault rifles. I lean toward fully automatic weaponry not being available to the general public.kirshar12
- I have a cousin who owned an AR15 for a while until he realized he had no real reason to own it other than to say he owned an AR15, then he sold it....kirshar12
- RIght on. Just wanted to make the distinction because an AR15 is not full auto and making it so is illegal. Which is how the bump stock loophole came to be.GM278
- like I said in my post below this one I own firearms but no reason to justify an AR15 let alone any military grade weapons.GM278

Why are mass shooters nearly always men?
It's more than a basic mental health narrative
- for the same reason why vast majority of geniuses in history were men too.pr2
- and trolls.fadein11
- also, between 1982 and 2017 more than 54% of mass shooters were white males, next largest group was black people at 16%lowimpakt
- Is it because a lot of them are privileged snowflakes that can't handle rejection, disappointment or 'disrespect'?monoboy
- If Dads spent less time lecturing their sons on how to be 'strong' and more more giving them hugs and support, guns probably wouldn't be an issue.monoboy
- Maybe we could teach boxing and martial arts in schools as a way to understand dominance, strength and respect? Just my opinion but it helps in deprived areas.monoboy
- Also, western society is very competitive. Inequality and a lack of a safety net or empathy makes for a lot of unhappy disgruntled people.monoboy
- Staggeringly, some of whom have access to military grade weapons.monoboy
- whereas in non-western society -- where cooperation, equality and security are the anchors of life -- people live with respect and tolerance of one anotherGnash

Peter Arredondo, the commanding officer who made the fatal decision not to go into the classroom for 77 minutes and who has been hiding from investigators questions the last few days has not only not been fired or forced to resign but has gotten a promotion. He was sworn into Uvalde Council last night.
Arredondo, 61, won a seat on Uvalde’s city council on May 7th, 17 days before 19 students and two teachers were shot dead at Robb’s campus.
