You all want to argue about what to do and how to do it
Well the place to start is with your state rep. Set up a town hall meeting, and get a bill proposal together.
Blaster it on every social media outlet known to man. Force the elected officials of your state to take action.
We elected them let them know we can unelect them if proper action is not taken, and soon!
We need to keep big government out of it,they take to long and spend to much money getting nothing done. Just my 2 cents

Just what do you expect them to do? You cant legislate morality. If there was an obvious fix, it would have been done a long time ago.

You want to keep big gov out of it but you say to go to your state rep. State gov isnt big?

I'm not one to decide that,hence the reason to get the reps involved. There is many things that can be done
Most of us joined this forum for our love of the outdoors. But I see all the bickering and finger pointing and it makes me realize the media and big gov have decided us as well.
I can't even enjoy popcorn when a topic like this is all there is. And it makes me sad for our country, our families and our furture

Give me a break, “a topic like this is all there is” ?? You could read about anything you want on this forum from trapping, hunting, fishing, finishing fur and everything in between for a year straight. You just like to complain!!

I think a better idea, would be to go to your schools next board meeting, and ask what measures they already have, or will be taking, to make the school as secure as possible.... whether that be locked doors, metal detectors, armed guards, armed teachers, etc.

For the left, taking action is to try to ban guns. Is that what you want?

There’s one and only one solution. Stop making it illegal to defend yourself with unarmed victims zones. Period. When law makers start allowing OUR kids to be protected the way their kids are protected, then that’s when we’ll have a solution.



You’re right. Lawmakers need to hear from us, because violence isn’t going anywhere.

Start locally. Be involved. Perhaps even bypass waiting for the state to wade through the red tape and see what members of the community are willing to do on their own.

It's how we used to do things in this country.

This is a local school board issue only. The school board is ultimately responsible for the children's safety, you are ultimately responsible for who is on the school board. The Feds can stay in Washington.

I must have missed something again. When did the collective ownership of children begin? I own my children. Nobody else does. Their safety and education is my responsibility, not the guberments.

I live in a small Village, I will be going to our local school board meeting to see what there plan is on this issue, then to the village council to see IF there have directed our police to have a action plan. All so contact the fire department along with our 911 system and emergency manager to see if they have a action plan in place. I will be setting in the front row and the next meeting. That is where I am going to start. I am not going to wait for someone else. By the way I do not have any kids in school.

I believe there can be some things done to protect our kids and all Americans from a person who have chosen to take evil actions to kill others. We have solved many issues in the past in the history of our country. I feel it could be done (protecting lives) again, but the first thing we need to resolve is that the 2nd amendment stays. If we could get the liberals convinced that taking away the 2nd amendment would surly lead to the end of our freedom as we know it, then all could sit down and figure out what needs to be done. But I am afraid all that will be accomplished will be bickering ... for now. Evil in the hearts of man has been around from the start of mankind. Who here can look at 100 people in a row and predict when or if a person from that group will cross the line and do an evil act in 1 hour.... tomorrow.... next month... No one can with certainty. And in a free society where man has free choice..... perfection will never happen. But we can lessen the occurrence of evil by being prepared. Just my 2 cents worth.

That cats been out of the bag for at least 20 years

If they are home schooled , fine, If they are entrusted to the school district then they are the responsible party.
