In reply to the discussion: NRA: If only a teacher had had a gun ... Well, asswipes, one of the teachers had SEVERAL guns ... [View all]Iris
(15,936 posts)36. Today is the day I decided I'm just not going to listen to this crap anymore.
I actually replied to a friend's FB post b/c I'm SICK of this issue getting swept under the rug.
The argument the friend of a friend made was we don't need gun control, we need to make prisons a living hell.
WTF? How will that help?
And this was in response to my pointing out that there have been SEVEN massacres like this in 2012. SEVEN!!!!!!
And guess what? Prison won't mean a damn thing to at least 6 of the 7 BECAUSE THEY ARE ALSO DEAD!!!!!!

That's so stupid. In a situation like today, the teacher is the first one they would shoot n/t
