A student killed his father before gunning down at least 15 others at a Prague university, Czech authorities said, adding the gunman had also been “eliminated”.
Mandatory conscription is probably my most “out there” political belief. I think the benefits would be vast! I don’t think it would prevent mass shootings in America, though.
Conscription doesn’t mean war.
It means being prepared.
And yes maybe we could be more prepared to deal with this stupidity and remove the gun culture if it wasn’t special anymore.
I think one of the benefits would be less war since every citizen would be personally affected by it. Also all the public works and infrastructure. And healthcare. It could be great! Maybe it would help with all the “lonely men” culture that we hear so much about, and likely plays into some of the gun culture. I guess we’ll never know since that won’t happen here, though.
If you follow the constitution, the right to bear arms is for a well regulated militia. Not for a stressed 18 year old buying an AR-15 at Walmart to shoot up rioters from another state.
Hey don’t cry about unborn babies but be pro school shootings there bud. The founders had single shot musket rifles not semi automatic rifles. If you want to be constructionist then ban the sale of anything other than breach loaders with separate shell and powder charge and have a good day.
If people learned how to defend themselves and then also everyone knew how to use them suddenly gun culture changes and it’s like a tool instead of a status symbol. If you don’t want to serve, there are non-combat roles. If you don’t like it then hey maybe you should invent bullet proof kids.
Switzerland does well with guns.
In Switzerland, everyone is trained to use guns
I don’t think lack of training was this guys issue.
Switzerland also has heavily regulated ammunition. You can’t just go to the store and buy some bullets, like in Czechia
Like Chris Rocks stand up. Charge more for the bullets and people will think more about killing. paraphrase
Very true

The Swiss solution really is what should be followed.

The solution to allow gun ownership is conscription?
No thanks.

Yes totally forgot about that the people part…go read some federalist papers and a few history books the 2nd is for the people not the militia.

Isn’t California doing something like that?

The only way someone should be allowed to own a gun is after rigorous training, like in the military.
Only then do you have “good guy with a gun”
So the problem was this guy wasn’t trained enough?
