@BookDeath I would. PM sent.

There were marches in other countries, which surprised me but as so glad to see. London marched near the U.S. Embassy, I think I read

I'm disabled and don't live near London either and I didn't know that.

Yeah the marches aren't very well publicised here but I think it's far to say that most of the UK would be in support of or at worst neutral to your cause. The shootings often get reported over here,.

I am not a "Distractors, trolls, and bots"... I remember several attacks that happened using other means to harm and kill, two come to mind.

Please research Anton Lundin Pettersson and the Beslan school hostage crisis

@Potsandpans Well, here we go with posts of how many different ways people might be harmed and killed. It has nothing to do with the recent school shootings, Nothing to do with the NRA, and isn't going to stop the problem of our children being killed in their classrooms. With this being said, please tell me why you want to debate this? Am I supposed to tell you it is OK to kill our
children? Maybe instead you want me to say it's OK for you to own your damned rifle. IDK, but no debate here. Protest is a statement and not a debate.

@DenoPenno I might be mistaken, but I thought that we are trying to achieve the same thing: To stop people, school kids in this case, from being killed. My response was from your statement that "So far our school children have not been killled by these other things." but they have and at a larger number than by an AR. If you're wanting to stop kids from being killed, then I am not your enemy and no hostility is needed. As I have said more than once, children should be safe. I want to fix the problem by stopping the why people are killing each other.

Also, I am willing to bet that the protests are doing more to promote sales of these guns better than any ads from the NRA or the gun makers.

@Potsandpans I'm not willing to bet or debate, and I'm not going in for changing the subject. You win. We will simply blame the gun for the shooting.

@DenoPenno I am not in this to win, I am here to learn and to help others. I learn nothing from people who say what I already know, nor do I help anyone who won't look at things from a different point of view. If stopping criminals from hurting and killing is your intentions, I am on your side.

No one wins until we get the violence to stop.

I think Ozzie said it best.

@Blindbird I see the point, but it's flawed. Before guns, warriors were sent into battle with other tools to kill. It's went from seeing the color of the eyes of the opponent to flying drones to hurt and kill other humans. I am SO against most wars.

@Potsandpans thats disingenious AF. You can take out 50 people with semi-automatic weapons in same time it would take to kill one person with a sword or staff. There is no reason anyone needs those kinds of weapons. If the government wants you dead,they'll just bomb you. Practically that is a completely nonsensical argument.

@Blindbird By definition of disingenuous, it is not. Governments have sent more into battle using clubs, knives and such that sent into battle with guns. If there were no guns, they would be sent to battle with other tools. And, although the fact is if the government wanted me dead, they could, I doubt that they would use bombs...agree?

@Potsandpans no I do not in fact. The fact that you are actually arguing that swords or clubs are as destructive as semi automatic weapons tells me you're either entirely full of shit,a complete idiot or both. Either way,talking to you is an utter waste of time.Buh bye

@Blindbird First, I won't resort to name calling or hate words. Second, I never said anything like that. Your meme of Ozzie is what i commented on. If bare hands were all they had, the government would send troops in without food or water of they could win a war without the expense.

At a guess? 40 years of GOP policy,insanely high stress levels and parents who work 50-70 hours a week just to pay bills and don't have the time and energy to care for their kids. We live in a society that is toxic to us, in so many ways.

@Blindbird How are you putting this on the GOP? The rules have changed to where no one can have a butter knife at school, say the word gun and if someone even thinks of looking cross eyed at someone else, they are called a hater and every one gets a trophy for playing. With all of that, things are still getting worse.

@Potsandpans I am laying the extreme economic pressure, the hysteria over the "collapse of the social order" brought about by right wing scare tactics, the continued easy access to weapons meant for killing numerous people quickly and the paucity of our public education SQUARELY at the foot of the GOP and the Democrats who followed along for campaign funds.

I think something must be done
