You mean no guns are allowed in the room while a former president of the United States is speaking? What cowards, eh?

There is no such free and perfect utopia. There's always some risk. That's why you gotta wear seat belts. It's for your protection.

Question is what good does it really do. If that's all they can do, it doesn't achieve much. Some of these ideas people try against Iran, like sanctions, may actually achieve the opposite. They might only hurt the people of Iran, not the theocratic regime. Plus they are allied with other "rogue" nations who are in the same boat, and so it's obvious they will make alliances with them, creating a new axis.

Guns are for sale through organized crime in US, and Canada. The only way it could work is if all guns in the US were confiscated, including the black market. I don’t see it as possible. There may not be a solution here, short term anyways. Living in the Land of the Free comes with a price.

Proving that registration, permits, training requirements did not stop him, As long as there is a plethora of guns readily available...

We differ on what flying a flag represents. It flies overhead, always a reminder. Do children need to be reminded in such a way about their sexuality? Yes, the flag introduces sexuality into their daily discourse. I prefer that it be taught by professional educators, and where children are concerned should be more low-key, than flying a flag on high. However, I do think the idea of inclusivity is important. If they really want to run it up the flagpole then use it equally for all. Groups can apply to have their flags raised, pay a fee for the ad-space. Then let the fun begin. Kooky...

This does not counter what I said. I did not take an emotional or “anti-empathy” position, as your rebuttal implies. I’m all for encouraging lovey-dovey group hugs. I’m saying the need for flag raising is out of scope for the services that I as parent and taxpayer expect schools to provide. The issue is political poison in today’s dialogue. Keep politics out of school.

Type of gun, hmm. I dont think this is the main issue. I can blow you away with a .22, for example. Especially, the .22-250. Who is Wortman. Why did the shooter snap. What can be done to prevent copy-cat killers. The need for security at these places seems obvious and can be done right away. It just costs money. And we know the US government has lots of that to give away.

Far as I know sex with or among minors is a crime. Although it’s good to teach, shouldn’t be encouraged. Flying a flag, that’s encouraging. Personally I’m not agin it, it’s just a question of priorities. Put up the hetero flag then. And the black, indian flags. Dont forget the white flag. Little Johnny should not feel guilt for past crimes by Canada, because of his skin. Sometimes the message is misunderstood.

School is a place for the three R’s Readin’, ritin’ and ‘rithmetic not rump rangerin

In other news, today was a beautiful day, weather fine. I got up feeling well. My loved ones greeted me good morning. I had a fulfilling day. Came home and ate a fine meal. Spent some family time. Watched television, drank an ale and conversed with my good lady-wife. Yes... so much evil. I have no idea what the hell you’re talking about...

You’ve expressed your angst over the good guy with a gun narrative a number of times now, as if this is a systemic problem. Expect to hear you calling for defunding the police soon.

See title of your linky-dink. Everything but that. Which I provided for our forum members here so they could see your deceptive ways and lies. Ok maybe not lies. Maybe you’re just very sadly mistaken.

Was it a conscious decision, or driven by other factors like greed for media air time. Dumbing down the news, and entertainment in general, gives it a much wider appeal. More ad money. Competition for viewership becomes a race for the bottom. Because dipsticks outnumber intelligent people. By about 4:1 I would estimate.

Sure, as long as they also fly the hetero flag.

I read your link, dated May 16. This is only a minor step away from being locked down. They are transitioning. Titled “Masks no longer required for public servants at desks and in meetings with distancing.” In other circumstances they still are. So at this time many are stating home and emergency measures are still in effect. Even the unions would like to drop masking, distancing and other, but the havent done so, just starting to now. Why is that? Federalis. You could also change your name to “often liar”.

Trudeau does not understand Canada and is himself most un-Canadian. That is why he’s comfortable with annihilating our culture.

Trudeau is the veritable emperor’s son, having lived too pampered a life to care or understand what it means to be Canadian. That is why he has no problem annihilating our legacy. He however was democratically elected by the masses, for the masses. We own the choices we make.

Federal mandates have not been dropped. If you work in any capacity for the Govt of Canada, you’re still working from home. Hard to figure anything out with the federalis, of course but I found this.- https://ottawa.ctvnews.ca/no-timeline-for-when-public-servants-will-be-back-to-the-office-in-downtown-ottawa-1.5831997 Not allowed back to the office even quadruple vaccinated and/or already had Covid and didn’t die. Counts for shit. Despite the prolonged stay at home orders, they let go of all those employees who refused the jab. .... Mr. Trudeau loves the power Covid gives him. He wants to show China he can be strong as well. He admires their basic dictatorship.

Alcohol is a known killer.

I hope you virtue signallers get your emotional purging with more soothing words and empty gestures. Let’s all do the group hug thing. There there. And now the bickering over what to do. Bills proposed, counter-bills produced, bills shot down. Complete deadlock. Western politics, full of sound and fury. A wonderous thing to behold. Demockracy

I see. So you have no problem with the very rotten core that is at the foundation of a civilization... banks. Banks is where you put the filthy money You want to know the heart of corruption, see Vatican Bank. Did you get that one? ... Vatican... Bank. As in, hassenfeffer incorporated, do you get that? Check it out my friend and you will know. But be ye forewarned For with great knowledge also comes great sorrow...

What bearing does that have on this case? Do you think regulating guns would stop this person? Clearly he was mentally ill and wanted to die and kill in the most shocking and horrific fashion, knowing full well the impact it would have and the use of readily available media. So that you people can get some kind of sick catharsis from knowing all the minutia of these events. Exactly what the psycho wants, and you all fell for it. Hook, line and sinker. That’s why I say, you want to do something for real about it? Ban the goddam internet

So has this shit killed anyone yet? No. Just a bad rash. Get some Aveeno. But nah... Shut ‘er down, shut it all down. Limited numbers indoors Lineups outside Essential services only Schools shuttered, teacher’s unions will see to it. Mandatory masking. Although not a respiratory virus, you never know. Tell the kids just stay home and wait for the vaccines

You are quoting from almost a year ago. However, upon review I agree with what I wrote there. Especially the first part, which you did not address. I guess because there are certain, universal truths... perhaps in a way they unite us. Me, I hate totalitarianism. Pardon me if I say we may be on the road to it. Just cause shit is cool in your little district don’t mean everyone’s is cool. You gotta look at the big picture, where are we heading as a society, nation and world. You know where, fella. See 1. Flushhh...
