their active shooter response, where they take down the shooter. I think the brave, selfless action of these officers is commendable. When you think about what happened in Uvalde and Parkland.....if only officers there had responded like this.........no further commentary needed. NSFW disclaimer this is graphic.

as a gun owner, a CCP holder, and a firm supporter of the second amendment, I do not think the types of weapons used by police and the military should be available to the general public.

If the police and Army have preferential rights to tech, then how does one fight back? In the courtroom? In politics?
LOFL!!!!!
Have you not been listening? They are changing the words you can use, they are censoring your thoughts and right to speak, they are teaching you to self-censor, they are indoctrinating kids to hate Men, and further to hate the generations before them, they are telling you that you cannot work unless you adhere to their medical paradigm, they are categorizing you as a Christian as a person of predetermined hate, they are telling you that your skin color determines whether you are racist or not….. etc. ad nauseam.
Wake the #### up! At some point they will walk in your house and imprison you just because you think differently. I have already seen it happen.
What will you have then: your vote? your children? your job? your house? your self even?
Indeed, in the end, Thomas Jefferson knew that all societies evolve to autocracy, and that your gun was your only defense. Time to wake up, my friend.

If you paid attention to the reckless riots of 2023, siege on the capital, and government overreach with pandemic restrictions it is clear why we the people have the right to bear arms. And yes, more so the need for an AR. Go on and live with the sheeple. But don’t tread on me.

There were like 50 million guns in the US in 1950. There are nearly 500 million guns in the US now.
The population has only doubled since 1950. It isn't an increase in mental illness. It's an increase in access.

Access has never been a problem. Mental illness is the problem. We used to lock nut cases up, we now encourage them.

Why don't we try limiting access first?
Seems like a more cost effective approach than building a more robust mental health system.

Because the government will control us if they disarm us. Our founders saw this. Yes, private citizens could own cannons. In fact, prior to civil war, MOST cannons were owned by private citizens and private businesses.

before the GCA, you didn't even need a background check, you just went to a gun show, store and paid for whatever gun you could get your hands on that wasn't regulated by the NFA. And if it was regulated, you paid your 200 dollars then and still picked it up same day. After Columbine is when things changed.. btw the assault weapons ban was in place during Columbine and several other mass shootings. Let's not forget that gun laws don't do ####..
Classof09, supposedly an Army vet or so you've told some on here, yet can't comprehend our constitution it seems...

Americans have loved guns since its' inception. This problem only started about 15-20 years ago. When I was in high school guys displayed their hunting rifles on a gun rack in their truck. Guns are not the problem. This is a societal problem.

The liberal party isn't the group that decided 10 years ago that elementary school children dying in the classroom is a necessary and unpreventable side effect of freedom^TM

to make stuff up? The last I looked, your party is the party of drag queen story hours and wanting the book "Gender Qu**r" in elementary schools. And you shout "Republicans are banning books!" when you actually know the truth.
And your link (if you find it) better say these words you just used: "elementary school children dying in the classroom is a necessary and unpreventable side effect of freedom"

"Defund the police" is merely a tired political trope used to stir up distrust. Today the actual defund the police movement is a GOP led effort to gut federal law enforcement in order to delegitimize current investigations against some of their own.
You should try thinking for yourself instead of letting others do that for you.

Is someone actively calling for violence, or putting out clear misinformation with intent to cause people harm? We have laws against that. Most social media police that on their own to avoid potentially facilitating a crime.
Is there any example of the FBI working hand-in-hand with Twitter as you say?

Are you living in a bubble? Google the Twitter Files. Start there

And, the investigative journalists of the Twitter Files are all Democrats. They're just honest about uncovering corruption and suppression of free speech.
You want a hoot, listen to the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government.

If so, then you would know that the committee you referenced questioned Twitter personnel who denied accusations that the FBI interfered in content and contributor decisions they made.
I generally look at accusations in general as potential confessions first, especially when they're in the political realm, then allow the light of day found in investigations, questions, and answers under oath, to determine their viability from there.
I'm happy to bounce over to the Politics board from here and give the Mange a break from this. Headed out for an afternoon 9 so it'll be later today.
Go Tigers.

In the video you'll see one of the girls that was killed lying on the floor in the hallway as they move through the building. You'll also see the shooter shot multiple times and then their body, dead on the floor as they stand over her.
With that said, it's an absolutely undeniable first hand look at what police are facing in a dire situation. You almost feel like you're the person going through the building given the footage (which may be another reason not to watch it for some).

is a segment of the population and, in some cases, the media using this tragedy to promote a political ideology and to suggest the shooter was a victim too and her actions were somehow justified/understandable. This was a deliberate, cold, and calculated hate crime perpetrated by a person who was mentally unstable.

largely because the victims represent the kind of worldview that the left believes is backward and hateful, the very existence of which contributes to the suffering of groups they hold dear (i.e., supporters of abortion, the LGBTQ community, and traditional views on sex/marriage, etc.).
I have said it before and I will say it again. Those groups who pretend to promote acceptance, diversity, inclusion and tolerance are some of the least accepting, inclusive, and tolerant people you will ever encounter.

Your last paragraph is one of the most truthful statements I have seen in a long time.
I am also a gun owner, hunter and CWP holder and agree with your earlier statement that certain types of weapons used by police and the military should not be available to the general public. I also believe there are a lot of people who are not responsible enough to own guns at all. The problem is identifying them in time.

shid right there and to do it with such a broad brush is so wrong. This is what needs to stop. Quit stoking the fire of they hate us because of who we are, it’s all a bunch of divisive inter/twidder net BS.
God makes straight believers who are profound sinners, just as he makes gay kids who get shunned by their families, and everyone in between. If you want to deny the existence of and demonize what you don’t like, that is your choice. But it would suit this country better if we all put our knives and guns away and figure out how to live together.
What that girl did yesterday was beyond evil and there is no tolerance for that.

The shooter was a victim of mental illness, that's a fact, and I feel terrible for her family. They are victims too.
That in no way, shape or form justifies or excuses her actions. What she did was evil, and thank God these cops did their jobs so effectively, and put and end to this tragic situation. That should be the expectation for anybody who carries out such a horrific, evil act.

Yeah the problem is you're willing to so easily give it to all the people with evil hearts and mental illness.

and has been for decades. The crime rate, gun violence and gang activity have been and continue to be out of control. Rising crime has played a pivotal role in prompting businesses to leave the downtown area, despite the city’s efforts to retain them. The rates remain high with no significant declines in recent years. Violent and property crimes exceed the state and national averages. Homicides nearly doubled in 2022, with similar trends in theft and stolen vehicles. There is a reason why Columbia always ranks at or near the top of the list for cities with the worst crime rates. You should seriously consider moving.

we decide to step over that bridge is the moment we can begin to deal with all this and stop this charade. When we bring up gun control then we are just kicking the can to the next tragedy.
WE need to deal with the deeper problem which is the depression and what causes it (ie everyone is beyond medicated these days from age 6). We might want to encourage a strong nuclear family unit and not encourage single mother-hood and hook up culture as our normal lifestyle. We might want to stop weaponizing these tragedies for political gain and votes. WE might want to hold big pharma accountable for pushing whatever the last mood altering drug is as we have people's brains malfunctioning at alarming rate these days.

It's not worth the argument. They'll just stick their heads in the sand, scream about how it's a "mental illness" problem not a gun problem, and continue to vote for politicians that actively work against improving access to mental healthcare.

It's great this police department in this instance acted appropriately.
It doesn't change that there is an unacceptable prevalence of police abuse of power in this country and an unacceptably low level of accountability for police officers that abuse their power.

I remember a Sheriff a few years ago was asked why his officers shot the perp 67 times, and he looked them dead in the face and said we would have shot him more but the officers ran out of bullets. They deemed him still a threat so continued shooting. That is the mindset you have to have in order to put an end to the threat. If you stop reacting and take time to assess you may not end your shift to go home. GOD bless our first responders, our firemen, our service members and shame on any politician who questions their actions in a active situation!

Completely different vs Uvalde. If they had responded like Uvalde, many more would have died. These guys pushed in on a mission, good job. These guys took out the threat in 14min from first 911 call. The Uvalde shooting was over an hour. 4-5cops sat on one hallway listening to shots killing people, one cop holding everyone back saying they needed to wait on the Sargent or Captain or whoever? But they literally sat inside hearing shots going off and never forged towards the shooting.
These TN cops saved lives by being proactive, no doubt!

My Daughter is 7 and goes to a private school with an armed security guard. The guard was hired at the beginning of this year after the situation in Uvalde last year.
In late January, My wife and I both received text messages from the school that there was no emergency on campus, that a student sent a text to another student saying that there was an active shooter on campus. The text ended with "THERE IS NOT AN ACTIVE SHOOTER".
Even still, seeing those words "ACTIVE SHOOTER" sent chills down my spine and my throat went to my stomach. It sickened me then and it still sickens me. A parent's worst nightmare.

There was a gender ideology therapist on one of Jordan Peterson's podcasts recently that said herself that the dominate amount of global instances of transgender or gender ideology cases are primarily concentrated in the United States and Primarily among white people. Obviously there are cases spread throughout other demographics but the overwhelming majority was among white americans. Chew on that for a bit.
WE have so much excess, opportunity, luxuries in this country yet we are the most dissatisfied and miserable. There's a message in there somewhere.

not the posting of the video. We know it's a terrible, horrific scene. Making things like that available for viewing should be a decision that the parents of victims or survivors get to make. I could never begin to imagine the pain those folks are going through. Having vivid recollections like this bounding all over the world now and going forward can only make that pain worse.

I disagree and here is why: I think it's important that as a society, we SEE this type of thing and take stock of it. It's shocking. It's horrifying. The sheer evil of a deranged individual shooting children and unarmed adults is simply mind-boggling.
Then and only then, IMO, can we even begin to get a grip on the epidemic and culture of violence in this country. How many people are shot and killed in Chicago each week? We never even think about it because we've become de-sensitized to it. We never hear about the PTSD and other psychological trauma that our law enforcement and first responders suffer in having to deal with all of this violence.

I agree with much of that reasoning, but would still say only after victims' families or survivors have okay'd it for release like this. Maybe they have here already. Showing it two days later or two months later would have the same impact you are after I would think. I just say give families time to come to terms with something like this and allow for its release.
