More mass killings, what is the answer?
Dr. Glenn Mollette
Do parents in America want to spend every school day hoping and praying their children will not be heinously murdered? Do children want to spend their days constantly looking up to see who might be entering their room with an assault weapon? Do you want to walk the grocery store aisles wondering if someone has picked your store and this day to shoot at you? Do you enjoy sitting in a house of worship knowing that if a crazed gunman enters your location the exit doors are very few. Movie theatres are anticipating a major boost in attendance this summer. Can you go in peace knowing that your life could be in danger if someone enters with a semi-automatic weapon or an AR-15?
The list of possibilities is almost endless as restaurants, sporting events, concerts, shopping malls and more are targets of those who plot evil rampages against innocent people.
Uvalde, Texas and Buffalo, New York are the recent locations of horrific killings of the very young and elderly American people doing everyday life – going to school and buying groceries.
When will this happen at your school, grocery store, house of worship or any place else? At one time, Americans never imagined such horrors as many of us have lived to see. One mass shooting has led to another and another. Your school or church or whatever the event is must plan for an attack every time you gather. If we do not try to protect the people at such events and gatherings, then we are throwing caution to the wind and subjecting people we love to the possibilities of being killed.
What is the answer? The Buffalo grocery had an armed guard. This was not enough for a gunman who had strategized and outgunned the security guard who gave his life trying to save others. One major problem is such an evil person has the element of surprise. They have surveyed the location. Innocent people are caught off guard. People may even be carrying weapons but might not even have the time to draw their weapon because the rapid fire of the attacker’s weapon takes that person’s life before he or she can reach for their weapon. What is the answer? Do we equip every teacher in America with a semi-automatic weapon? Should teachers and grocery store shoppers and ministers carry assault weapons at all times? Do you want to put on your Sunday dress and then strap on your assault rifle so you might have a chance of defending yourself?
State and federal lawmakers continue to wrestle with what to do. One suggestion is to take away all the guns. This might be okay until Russia or China invades us and we all have to fight.
The local villain may find a way to order all the parts he needs online to assemble an assault weapon and you have no way to defend yourself. This possibility must be made illegal.
Evil finds a way to release hate and fulfill deranged fantasies. This does not mean we give up. Limiting assault weapons to people 25 and older, strict background checks, waiting periods and licenses is possibilities. Limiting all gun purchases to people over 21 is another possibility. Eighteen-year-olds use guns in the military but are trained and strictly supervised.
Do Americans really need assault type weapons? Would we be willing to ban them if it would save an elementary school of children from a murderous rampage?
It’s all too late for Uvalde, Texas families and so many more. State and federal government must make some real decisions. In the meantime, we have to protect ourselves.

Time to bring the Musket back that’s what the founding father’s had and they had no mass shootings.
Good old Joe wants to ban “high powered 9mm” ammunition. He looks more ignorant by the day. He is practically guaranteeing a big red wave. I guess we’ll have to switch to that measly .45 caliber, 44 magnum, or 38 special. Go Joe!
Harry use what the founding fathers used muskets don”t think they had any mass shootings
Your fine with a musket till it’s your life in danger. Then I bet you could do more than 1 shot. Myself, I would be scared, nervous, maybe even shakey. If my life’s in danger I sure would like to have as much fire power and ammo I can stand to eliminate the threat.
This is about mass shootings when the founding fathers wrote the 2nd amendment
“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
All they had was a musket and basically that’s all the army had we didn’t have a air force and a small navy.
It was to protect us from the government but in reality it’s useless against our military today.
Something has to be done about the mass shootings only country that has this problem
Contrary to Dementia’s lies, it was legal to even own a cannon when the 2nd ammendment was written. Even the Washington Post admitted that 22 Caliber Joe is lying when he says Americans couldn’t own cannons at that time.
I didn’t read anywhere in the 2nd amendment where it said musket. It does say “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” The key words in that amendment are: free state, keep and bear, arms, not be infringed. These school shootings are awful and we should do everything constitutionally to stop them. In the end it is better to live in fragile freedom then stable tyranny. See this quote Kag. “The state must declare the child to be the most precious treasure of the people. As long as the government is perceived as working for the benefit of the children, the people will happily endure almost any curtailment of liberty and almost any deprivation.”
Adolf Hitler
This should be enough to show why touching the 2nd amendment in anyway is wrong and not the answer. I don’t want the next Adolf to be here in my beloved country.
Jerry when they wrote the 2nd amendment all they had was muskets don’t believe they knew all the weapons we have today would be available you could even own other humans when they wrote the constitution
It starts at home.
We have a culture problem and a morality problem in this country, and all the gun laws in the world wont change that.
Then you have the riots of 2020 with zero accountability, soft on crime punishment in many cities, and the most divisive president in history falsely spewing the lie that white supremacists are our greatest threat. What could possibly go wrong?
And don’t forget the corrupt newsmedia who are the biggest race hustlers of them all.
1. How about adhering to laws that put people with minor offenses in jail. And not let them out of jail so easily. Before the larger offenses.
2. Stop making a buck by putting everyone on psychiatric medication. Advertising for drug use for every sign of life; then the addiction, withdrawals, and crazy thinking from taking them or coming off of them. Gov’t.
3. Report kids who threaten and talk crazy and screen them, everyone always knows about them. At least the other kids and teachers do. Same with bullying.
4. Put the Bible in schools, they may not get it at home.
5. Keep the doors shut at the schools, buzz people in only. Put some money towards the schools with security measures instead of destroying America and billions to other counties.
6. Vote republican.
7. get rid of crt and the race division, and gender confusion created by the corrupt gov’t.
just to name a few.
8. Get some better teachers! Have some dress policy, no blue hair teachers, no talking to students about their private lives and sex lives and all the other things they do. No tattoos and nose, eyebrow, etc piercings showing! or the type to have them at all! ie be a role model.
Amen
NEWS FLASH : LOCK THE DOORS !
Watch a John Wick movie. No wonder people are so crazy watching this kind of entertainment. BLM was praised for destruction,stealing,anarchy and death during the 2020 riots. 9 billion dollars worth of destruction. Your vice president bailed them out. The main stream media promoted this lawlessness as peaceful as Federal buildings ,private businesses,and churches burned. This promotes lawlessness as a nobel cause. Dont blame guns blame the media and democrates for their desparate means to win an election.
