    I’m not doing ANY shit. I’m asking you to define your position more clearly. And what I’m saying is that while you two had your little slap fight, neither of you stopped for a moment to consider that you’re talking about burdens of children’s lives here.

    Emotional legislation is shit legislation. Again, that’s how we got the patriot act…

    If we only had ONE SCHOOL SHOOTING PER YEAR WITH ONE FATALITY PER YEAR ITS ONE SHOOTING AND ONE FATALITY TOO MANY.

    Again, you only seem to give a shit if the child dies via firearm.

    but you go ahead and have your little squabble over what counts as a school shooting and what doesn’t. Because there will always be parents who are having to bury their children, right?

    Again emotionally driven legislation is not good legislation. You’re applying the “think of the children logic”.

    Do me a favor by doing them a kindness and have it resolved as soon as possible so they can rest at ease knowing there’s some random guy on the internet vetting the bad ones from the good ones so that the can be confident in knowing that their child did in fact- die in a proper and official school shooting.

    So the parents burying their child that died in a car wreck going to school doesn’t count? Again, you seem to not give a crap about how they died unless it’s via firearm.
