I made no dodge, I stated a fact. It is you who is lying. But I am not surprised when Conservatives lie, it is what they do when have no Cogent/Logical/Substantial/Well Thought Out Argument left to make. The whole principal of Diadactic Exchage escapes them. The training I outline as a Marine Recruit is true, that is training I received (that and training as an 0311 Combat Infantry Rifleman) before being shipped out to Viet Nam. It is also true it took over an hour for Armed Police to enter the school, even as students were calling 911 for very urgent assistance. It is also true that any person over the age of 18 can purchase a semi-automatic weapon in Texas, have be over 21-to buy a revolver or pistol. It is also true that as much Texas ReThugs complain the mental health of shooter, the State of Texas has made very drastic cuts to mental assistance in that state. It is also true the Oranged Faced 5-Deferment Draft Dodging Coward made it a lot easier for with a history of Mental Health Problems and/or Spousal Abuse to have access to firearms. A Universal Background Check would have prevented the shooter from buying his two AR-15 Semi-Automatic Weapons and thoe innocent children would still be alive This what lying Cons do, ignore the facts and instead in engage in sounds bites and lies. Cons do not know how govern, for them it is about the power. Nice try ? epic fail.

Indiana is RED STATE Silly

What you know about the People of My Country would not even fill a thimble.

I will say this but one time and one time ONLY. I AM NOT.....REPEAT NO A "LEFTIST/I AM NOT A MARXIST/I AM NOT A LENINIST/I AM NOT A COMMUNIST!!!! There is no need to insulting. I am pround and Progressive American. I am for very Gun Control Laws. You have already read my post on the Training I received in the United States Marine Corps prior to ordered to Viet Nam. FYI, the NRA did not allow Firearms on the floor of their Convention.....wonder why. Univeral Background Checks would have kept the shooter from having in his possession two semi-automatic weapons, period end of sentence. I will say, no need to insulting. If you want respect, you give respect. If you deal crap you get crap...just saying.

Its called research.

It's called proper training in the safe handling and operation of a live fire weapon. That's why.

Which take 5 - 10 Days to complete. That is wny it is called a Universal Background Check.

As Marine Recruit, I was NOT allowed to even touch my drill rifle (an M-14) until I had gone through a day long class in proper weapons maintence. I had to learn how breakdown my rifle (I still remember the serial as well). Before being allowed to fire a "Live Weapon", I had to go through a week of what was called "Snapping In". Learning weapons safety and handling and hours of praticing the Standing, Sitting, Knelling and Prone firing position. The second week was live fire. Each day, for six days we had practice.....practice.....practice shooting. With a P.M.I. (Primary Marksmanship Instructor) at our side, not to mention our Drill Instructor's. On the last day we went for "Record Fire", or qualfication. I scored 191 out of 250 to become a Sharpshooter (Anything over 200 was an Expert) This kind of training each person who wants to own a firearm should through, and if you do not qualfiy you do not get to own a fireare. An owner of firearm should have to a mandatory gunlock on his/her weapon and/or a gun safe. No person under 21-should be allowed own a fire arm and all firearms should be licenced and registered.

And Actually You Are WRONG. A Universal Background check would take between 5 - 10-Days. Schools would have closed for the Summer and the kids would still be alive. Personally I favor a 10-Waiting Period along with proper training requiring a licence and proper registration.

And your wrong. A Universal Background Check takes at least 5-10 Days. School would have been out and those kids would still be alive.

Be that as it may. A Universal Background Check would have prevented the shooter from obtaining his semi-automatic rifles on the same day as purchase, saving the lives of 21-People.

He has a very shall we say limited view of American History. He's one those Cons who still believes that Paul Revere made that ride he would have shouting, "THE BRITISH ARE COMING!!!" Which would never have happened. Mainly because the Colonists were in British (American Born but British as they were still subjects of the Crown). Anyone hearing that would have yelled back, "Yeah, so what..." Revere would have been shouting, "The Lobsters Are Coming"....their distinctive Red Coats gave them the nick name.

This is the same couch to who took a knee in solidarity with Colin Kapernick after the N.F.L. bounced him because he took knee to protest the killing of African-Americans by police.

San Francisco Giants Coach Gabe Kapler To Skip National Anthem Before Games Following Texas School Massacre. https://www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/news/sf-giants-manager-gabe-kapler-national-anthem-uvalde-texas-mass-shooting/ CINCINNATI (CBS SF) -- San Francisco Giants manager Gabe Kapler will no longer come out for the national anthem before the start of each game following the massacre of schoolchildren and the bungled police response in Uvalde, Texas. Kapler told reporters in Cincinnati ahead of the Giants game against the Reds Friday that he would not participate in the national anthem ceremony "until I feel better about the direction of our country." In a blog post earlier Friday, Kapler described how he felt when a moment of silence was held at Oracle Park and at other sporting events on Tuesday, the day 19 children and two teachers were murdered at Robb Elementary School, "and we went on with our lives."

Oregon Father Decides The Safety of His Children Than The Guns In His House. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/oregon-man-tiktok-destroys-guns_n_6291cf7be4b0cda85dbf009f Thank You. I am sorry if I was inpatient with what you wrote. I've been called a "Marxist"....."Leninist" and "Communist" more times than I care to count. It is especially galling to me as I humped a AN/PRC-6 in Viet Nam. Heavy bugger to.

What's so damn funny there mkey? I made a simple request. I see you choose to ignore it....ok It is the Fascist ReThugs and GroppenFuhrer Orange Faced Traitor that love their damn guns. Screw them.

One more time. I AM NOT.....NOT.....NOT A FRACKING MARXIST. No Democrat that I have worked with, campaigned with or help get elected to office is a Marxist. Please resist the name calling. If you do not want me to name call, then please respect my request.

The Rifle(s) purchased were an AR-15. an Amalite Rifle model 15. A semi-automatic weapon, the weapon would continue to fire until the magazine was emptied. The AR-15 is a Military Grade Assault Weapon. Purchased by the shooter with no questions asked on his 18th. Birthday. A Universal Background, which takes several days, would have prevented the shooter from obtainibg those weapons on the same day . Which would saved the lives 19-Children an 2-Adults. No needs to own such weapon, they are match rifles and they sure as hell ain't a hunting rifle. Mass Shootings are a uniquely American Event. I do not for one second the mental illness crap. The Orange Faced 5-Deferment Draft Dodging Coward Trump signed legislation giving access to firearms individual a history mental illness and individuals with a history of spousal abuse. This tragedy could have been easily avoided, except the ReThugs and love anything related to firearms. Giving access to firearms to people mental illness was allowed the Traitor and his ReThug Cabal. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/president-trump-made-it-easier-mentally-ill-get-guns-when-n1039301 Giving access assault weapons to with mental illness was done by ReThugs ;the Traitor. Get off that hobby horse, it ain't rocking.

I will preface what I am about to write with the two statements from the Constitution of The United States of America: ARTICLE VI - "But No Religious Test Shall Ever Be Required As A Qualification To Any Office orPpublic Trust Under The United States." AMENDMENT I - Congress Shall Make No Law Respecting An Establishment, Or Prohibiting Exercise Thereof....." There are only TWO (2) TIMES Religion is discussed in our Constition. Corlieone has no riight to dictate to Speaker Pelosi her political beliefs or dictate her politcal actions. There is no State Condoned/State Endorsed/State Mandated/State Supported church or churches in the United States. One thing I learned as an employee of St. Antony Foudation in San Francisco (a non-proft operated by the O.F.M. (Order of Friars Minor....The Francscans Order of Monks) is the Roman Churches Social Teaching around Catholic belief of "The Seamless Cloth". A over arching belief, in this case The Right To Life...which is what has Cordlieone's black lacies in twist. IF a person, in case Ms. Pelosi believes in the RIght To Life then that encompasses the belief as a whole. No Abortion.....No Capital Punishment.....No Torture....No War. Ms. Pelosi has stated publically and for the record that she personally opposes Abortion, she does not let her religious belief dictate politics. Speaker Pelosi opposes Capital Punishment/Torture/War. Cordlieone has yet to state those Catholics within the confines of his Archdiocese who while opposing Pro-Choice individuals, but at the same supporting Capital Punishment/Torture/War. IF Cordlieone is going to deny the Sacrament of Communion because she does not politically oppose Abortion, he therefore deny that same Sacrament of Communion to Catholics within his Archdiocese who pulically support and condone Capital Punishment. I should say California Governor Gavin Newsom is Catholic as well, and as his home of resident is in Mill Valley, Cordlieone should act to deny Mr. Newsom the Sacrament of Communion as well...to date Cordlieone HAS NOT. Cordlieone over stepped the bounds of his office. He has no right to dictate Speaker Pelosi's personal political beliefs or how she should speak publically or privately about her political beliefs. Ms. Pelosi does let her personal religious practice dictate her poltics. Ms. Pelosi respects the Separation of Church and State. Cordlieone does not. His office has no right to dictate to any person their personal political beliefs There is clear Separation of Church and State for several reasons, this is one them. I on the hand only have one reason for NOT believing in some Magica/Mystical/Mythical Skyman. Because asshats like Cordlieone who believe they and they alone have the right to dictate religious practices of others.

Massive Voter Signature Fraud Scandal Upends Michigan GOP Gubernatorial Race. https://michiganadvance.com/2022/05/24/massive-signature-fraud-scandal-upends-michigan-gop-gubernatorial-race/. The state Bureau of Elections has recommended that five of the 10 Republican candidates hoping to oust Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer should be kicked off the ballot prior to the Aug. 2 primary due to tens of thousands of forged signatures. In total, elections staff identified 36 individual petition circulators who submitted fraudulent petition sheets with invalid signatures in at least 10 petition drives — submitting at least 68,000 invalid signatures total. Those petition drives included those for governor, circuit judge and district judge. Staff are working to refer incidents of apparent fraud to law enforcement for criminal investigation. OK ReThugs, here is some Voter Fraud for ya, I mean it is ReThug Voter Fraud, but still.....
