Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
^This. I couldn't agree more that is society helping to create these crazy fuckers. I'm 25 and can't believe how people in my age bracket act.He addressed the real issue. The issue of crazy fuckers.
Hearing about this was truly a mindnumbing and motivation-draining way to wake up. My prayers go out to the families who lost children or loved ones, to the students who will forever be scarred by this event, and to everyone else who is affected one way or another.
It is truly sickening to see this type of event happen so frequently. I believe that stricter gun laws will not help the situation, as criminals will always be criminals, but if there was a way to prevent this (mandatory CCW), I would be all for it.
I used to carry my CCW only when it was convenient, or when I would be out of my house all day. No more. I will be carrying 24/7 now (because simply having a pistol out in the house may not be enough if someone kicks in the front door and grabs me), even at home. And yes, I will be carrying while sleeping. I will be urging my fiancee to get her CCL and may even gift her the class for Christmas (or a crudely photoshopped coupon for the class date of her choosing). Then, the second part of that gift will be a CCW of her choosing, and the proper ammo for it. I found out recently both of my Uncles have their CCWs, my mom just got hers a few months ago (and carries everywhere), and I'm trying to convince my sister to get hers as well (she even gets discounts on guns being a Paramedic Firefighter).
Back to the point at hand though, I am interested, like others, to hear what the President will consider as "taking meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this". And as others have said, I wish I had the cash to go out and stock up on more ammo and guns right now, but I don't.
eta: I too am 27 and am often appalled at how people my age (in their 20's) act. I have always been very mature for my age, and was raised with proper values. Acting out in violence was NEVER allowed and dealt with extremely harshly. While I don't have any kids right now (we plan to have our first within 2-3yrs), I have seen how many people my age deal with their parenting, and they are simply too immature to be put in that role and it's disheartening. I fear for the future of America because children are no longer being raised with the ideals, values and morals to keep people acting kindly towards another human being.

Meanwhile at a school in Israel:
What is my joy if all hands, even the unclean, can reach into it? What is my wisdom, if even the fools can dictate to me? What is my freedom, if all creatures, even the botched and impotent, are my masters? What is my life, if I am but to bow, to agree and to obey?
-- Ayn Rand, Anthem (Chapter 11)
I cannot say much about this as I just feel sick about the loss of life that should have never happened and could have been prevented. When will our Government wise up and make it a requirement for school employee's to carry guns. The answer is not what all the Libtards are going to say which is gun control, the answer is real simple. Allow school employee's to carry a firearm and give them the proper training to use it. This could have been avoided by any number of people with the proper training and tools to stop this sick twisted worthless piece of crap.
President Carter and President Reagan deinstitutionalized the insane in the 70's and 80's. The shooters in the past several years have had a mental illness of some sort. Look it up. Look this up also, violent crimes, guns knives assults rapes have gone up since the 70's when the peanut farmer and the actor started their nonsense. I work in this field by accident, it was not my intention to get into the mental health field and what I see daily sickens me but I am not going out to shoot someone. I will not give up my rights for junkies, crackheads, meth freeks, perverts, child molesters etc. Just think., all these presidents and govenors can say all this shit because they have armed body guards to protect them. The common law abiding citizens has to protect himself, because there ain't enough police ain't enough prisons and aint enough officials or citizens with balls enough to say this is enough....
The reports keep saying this shooter was a young man... He ain't a man, a man would not have taken on poor little children. He is a rabid animal and need to be dealt wih accordingly.
^^^^ I have to agree, and doing so also means your country! And to the flip side you can't protect your family by yourself, it will take me and others banned together. So yes you need to look out for my family and others too! Pray for the families that lost there's today! Try not to be so self centered we all need to be together in this..............Originally Posted by PugnacAutMortem

AMEN...
They said "the gun was legally purchased and registered." I hate that line, basically the Anti's fueling what they believe is "see even guns legally purchased and owned still causes tragic events" NO, these guns were legally purchased and owned by his mom. He stole the guns. That just goes to show you if a dumbass/nut job wants he will still do.
"I have a very strict gun control policy: if there's a gun around, I want to be in control of it."
- Clint Eastwood
And can you imagine being the shooters brother? Living your life and having your name associated with such a tragic event. Not only that, having been accused that you were the shooter because your brother allegedly took your ID. Changing his name and moving to another part of the country will not be enough to escape this.
Couldn't agree more, my heart breaks for these families...
