Good girl with a gun
Nice so a woman carrying a pistol (which very few people have an issue with) had to save dozens of people from a psycho with an AR-15 (that many people have an issue with).
If only the Police in Uvalde had her courage.

Yes a woman who is legally carrying a pistol raced towards a psycho that has an AR that by every rights had her not only outgunned but also by surprise, managed to stop anyone from dying. The exact thing some here have said wouldn’t help.
I would rather have the option to have something that I pray to never have to need and use in self defense then have to run and hide or try tackling the shooter in between reloads of any capacity magazines.

I'm not against legal ownership of handguns (and hunting rifles) by responsible adults 21 and older that have been subject to an extensive background check. The vast majority of Americans that advocate for gun reform feel the same way. So im not sure how this relates to what happened in Texas since it seems like youre trying to connect some dots there. But ill just say im glad she was there and did what she did and leave it at that.

It was more so along the lines of a good guy with a gun successfully stopping a mass shooting, and a feel good story to try to help cleanse the tension in the thread.

Probably even quicker than that. When Rise opened and boarding groups went live at 7am each morning, they were gone in seconds.

The line to get through security before even getting to Magic Kingdom the other day was like an hour long. I wouldn't want to be anywhere near that place this weekend. Also read that all the park reservations have sold out

No harm. After reading your last post, I think my views on guns fall similarly in line with yours. I see no reason for anyone to own a semi automatic gun with extended clips. Handguns, sure, that's fine, after an extensive background check. Much else, I don't see why.

Alright, I'd say we've taken the gun/shooting/political talk as far as we can. Things are breaking down. Let's move along.

Can I just ask for clarification on what an extensive background check is before we stop?

We're over 1,000. Let's shut it down and start fresh. We can start the new thread by shitting on Disney.

If he wants to do this he can, then as Cody said we start fresh. At some point. I don't know what to title these anymore

Not going to get into a debate but ill just say Australia, Canada, New Zealand are all in the realm of where I think we need to be on background checks.

Take this with a grain of salt, the handful of websites I’ve seen with this story from 2018 has been updated yesterday or today. I was trying to find an original article.

So looking through the list, it seems the common factors are criminal record, medical(not sure why medical history is relevant), and mental health records.Not going to get into a debate but ill just say Australia, Canada, New Zealand are all in the realm of where I think we need to be on background checks.

In the US, we check for the exact same things.
Firearm background checks: Explained - USAFacts
The checks are designed to stop people who aren't legally allowed to buy a gun, but gaps in the laws remain.

This is why I cannot understand why people want enhanced or universal background checks. It’s the same thing as is currently done.

Supposed video of the shooter strolling into the school. Casually walking after a 12ish minutes long confrontation with police outside the school.
The tweet is posing a stupid question, ignore the tweet and anything else in the thread, I’m posting strictly for the 13 second video.
Forgot to add the video.
