Lindsey Graham Preparing Bill to Mobilize Trained Military Veterans as School Security Officers

At the source...I agree...The source of our violence is not holding the perpetrators accountable. When you remove the consequences for these acts you only encourage those who are so inclined. Our nation, our way of governance and life is under attack by the socialists and liberals who hate America and what she stands for. The justice system is broken by the liberal polices in effect and the Soros supported DAs who are not enforcing the laws "as they are written."

The Second Amendment is there for several reasons; chief among them is the right for us to defend ourselves as we see fit. And yes the Buffalo retired police officer did die after unloading his gun center of mass on the perp. At some point he should have tried for head shots.

LTC Thomas Tennant - How do you hold a perpetrator accountable when they are dead?
This problem cannot be solved by law enforcement alone. It cannot be solved by more guns.
These are mental health issues, societal issues, and easy access to firearms.
Thank you.

First of all...access to firearms are not that easy. Here in KY we have to go thru the normal background checks. I do agree that mental health support is an issue, but you can point to the liberal policies that cut that support in half over the years since 1970's and the Carter administration. As to societal issues, again look to the liberal polices stating as far back as the 1950s that has given us the welfare system, encouraged single mom families, and basically eroded our foundational values. Finally, 2+1 does hold the perpetrator accountable....it is the ultimate accountability statement. it also mitigates the human loss of this individual's actions.

LTC Thomas Tennant - Not easy? An 18 year old in Uvalde, TX bought his easy enough. We know the results of that.
The shooter killing himself (which you label as accountability) does absolutely nothing to curb these actions.
And other that that, you posted the same old claptrap the conservatives have been spouting for years; if it is a problem, blame it on the liberals.

By the way, welfare started in 1935, not the 50's.
Now, how about subsidies to big Oil?
Or farm subsidies?

We could go on and on, but I would prefer to stay on 1 topic at a time.

Thank you.

I really should encourage you to rethink your question, but the Second Amendment is there for several reasons; chief among them is the right for us to defend ourselves as we see fit. But the AF really doesn't train marksmanship so I can not fault you for your mistaken belief.

LTC Thomas Tennant - Please, just what does the AF have to do with this discussion?

Colonel, you obviously have been blinded by your right-wing bias. The Air Force, just like every other service, trains their personnel in firearms. Some jobs, such as Security Police, carry weapons daily. I was qualified on the M-16, M-9 and M-60. So my belief is not, as you put it, mistaken. As for the 2nd, it clearly states "A well regulated militia". The very first words of the amendment. It is not there for "several reasons".
