Guns are not the problem. Humans are the problem.

We lose a lot of people everyday to accidents around the home, suicide, the Flu, Pneumonia, AIDS, Hepatitis, Cancer,
Animal attacks, malnutrition, etc.
More people are killed everyday by: Knives, forks, broken glass bottles, rocks, baseball bats and similar things than by guns.
Drunk driving and even worse yet, texting and driving are very dangerous and they both kill more people than guns every day. Why aren't people complaining about rocks, baseball bats and texting while driving as much as they complain about guns? Those things pose a much bigger problem!

Also, video games don't kill people. Violent movies don't kill people either. They also don't encourage people to kill people. Psychotic people are responsible for their own actions.
There is no such thing as an "Assault Rifle". The term doesn't make sense.
Assault is a threat.
Battery is an act.
If you tell someone you are going to punch or shoot them, that is assault. Also, if you shake your fist at someone or point a gun at them, even if the gun only holds one bullet or a realistic looking toy gun, it is still legally considered: Assault!
If you carry out the threat and either punch or shoot someone, that is legally considered: Battery.
You can shoot the same amount of people with a pump action shotgun as you can with a semi automatic AK-47.
Guns are not the problem! The problems are the people who own the guns. Or people who have mental problems and shouldn't have a gun, but, they steal one.
Another big problem is bullies, kids that have bad parents and bad Teachers. Or even grown adults that have problems with other people. It's been proven time and time again that kids under 18 are not always the problem. Half the time it's adults committing crimes!
Hitler, Manson, Hussein, Bin Laden, Capone, Bonnie and Clyde and Bundy just to name a few.
A lot of shootings are gang related.
Most murders are not planned out. They are committed in the heat of the moment. Two people arguing, one gets mad enough at the other person, he grabs a pool stick, hits the other person then stabs him in the head with a pencil! (This is Second Degree Murder, not First Degree Murder.)
Most murders are drug and alcohol related.
You cannot take away people's right to own guns or drink alcohol. Those are both protected by the Constitution.
The 2nd Amendment gives people the right to own a gun.
21st Amendment gives people the right to drink alcohol.
Changing the laws on guns, banning certain types of guns, taking peoples guns away and all that is not solving the problem! Every time someone gets shot, people complain and tell the government to ban more types of guns and pass more gun laws. Then people go out in the street and protest against guns. PEOPLE NEED TO LEARN: NONE OF THAT WORKS TO STOP PEOPLE FROM SHOOTING OTHER PEOPLE!
GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE! PEOPLE KILL PEOPLE!
A gun is just a tool. It takes a person to fire a gun. If you set a wrench on the hood of a car, it will not get up on its own and fix the car. Same concept with a gun.
 I was in the Army and I've been to Iraq and I've never seen a gun get up on its own and shoot someone! That's physically impossible!
My point is: Guns are not the problem at all! Humans are the problem!

For anyone asking: Why does the US need to have a SPACE FORCE?

FOR ANYONE WHO IS WONDERING WHY WE NEED A SPACE FORCE:

    I'm pretty sure there was a time when people said: "Why do we need a Navy? Why do we need an Air Force? What good are those going to do? That's a waste of money!
Why are they spending Billions of dollars creating Navy SEALs, Army Special Forces, Army Rangers, Delta Force and similar things? That's a waste of money! They are wasting my tax dollars on this!
Why are they spending so much money on building nuclear weapons? That could destroy the whole world in just a few minutes!
The enemy can and does attack the US and other countries from the air and water. That's why we need Air Force and Navy.
There's things going on in the world everyday that you and I will never know about. We have enemies all over the world. People are constantly thinking of things they can do to attack another country. Delta Force is a top secret military organization that, up until Clinton was in office, we weren't even supposed to know about. The government denied its existence completely. Bill Clinton hinted that there might be an organization like that, but that's all I'm going to say.
They are constantly protecting the world from terrorists.
Navy Seals and Special Forces take most of the missions that are way too difficult, dangerous and top secret for any other military units to take on.
SEALS killed Bin Laden, for instance.
The reason we have nukes is to PREVENT nuclear wars from ever happening in the first place. How? N. Korea, Russia, Iran and all other countries that don't like the US, they all know that the US invented both Atomic and Nuclear weapons. They also know that the US has more of them than most other countries. I'm sure there's probably a country somewhere in the world that probably has more than we do, but, the US has more than 99.999% of other countries in the world. They know better than to launch a nuke at the US or our allies. Because, the US can and will track their missiles coming in from tracking devices in space and on the ground. If they launch ONE single nuke at us, the President will first, launch about 20, multiwarhead missiles on their country and turn them into a pile of rubble!
Technology is changing really fast all over the world and we need a new way to fight crime, terror, illegal immigration, drugs, nuclear war, the list goes on and on.
Just like Science Fiction movies from the 1980's and even ling before that predicted, we would be in space by the year 2000. Well, we're late getting into space! 18 years late, but, it was inevitably going to happen.
Not only should we have a military presence in space, but also, a lot more Scientists should be up there studying the Earth and it's atmosphere.
As soon as the US gets a military presence in space, other countries will do the same. Our enemies will be up there to.
From outer space, you can see an entire continent, so, instead of an airplane flying over the ground between 300 feet to 5 miles off the ground, they have satellites and troops 20,000 miles or more above the ground. They will be able to look down and see everything. The enemy won't be able to hide very easily on the ground anymore.
The US and rest of the world will be forced to invent new technologies to keep up with the Space Force. When a Scientist tries to invent something specific, they will have to work on it for a long time. In the process, they will accidentally discover and invent other things. That is how we got the Lazer and the Microwave along with Millions of other things.
There is a lot of "Space Junk" flying around in space. It's all over up there. A lot is in orbit around Earth. That could crash in on us and cause a lot of problems. Space Force can protect us from that and try to find a way to clean it up.
They will watch for Metiors and yes, even UFOs!
Space Force will be above the atmosphere of Earth, so, they will have a better, much clearer view of outer space. That will help us study Astronomy, Physics, Chemistry and other things.
They can even send FBI agents up to watch down on the ground, not just in the US, but, in other countries to, and they can track criminals before they run too far away. Then, hopefully, it won't take 10 years to find them, like it did to get Bin Laden!
There's probably a Million other good reasons to have a Space Force.

This is why Teachers should be allowed to carry guns to school.

I've seen soldiers,police officers, security guards, corrections officers, firearms instructors, regular citizens who carry concealed weapons, people out hinting, people working in pawn shops and gun shops and other people who have guns, in fact, literally, more thanhalf the people in the US who are over 21 have a concealed weapons permit and own at least one gun.
You look around and see people walking down the street, half of them in the US are probably carrying a gun and know how and when to use it. They are also responsible enough and have enough self control to never use it unless someones life was in danger.
Some of those people have mental illness or anger issues. Some are taking medications prescribed by a Doctor or illegal drugs.
The population of China: 1.3 Billion. India: 1.2 Billion. USA: About 330 Million. Out of those countries, the USA has the most guns and gun owners.
My point is: I've seen so many people who carry guns lose their temper while they had a gun with them (including me), but, not once have I ever seen someone pull their gun out or even threaten to do so because they were pissed off! Yes, it could happen,  not very likely, but it's possible. Yes, it would be tragic if a Teacher lost their temper and shot a student, but, it would be worse if someone else walked into a school and shot a bunch of innocent people again. You know, if we don't do something drastic NOW to fix the problem, there is more than a 99.9999% chance that it will happen again! That is a guarantee! It is going to happen again if teachers don't start carrying guns in the US.  Teachers carry guns in some other countries and they almost never have any mass school shootings.
It will take the police at least  about 10 minutes to get even one or two officers to the school to respond to an incident like this. More than likely, they would send the SWAT team, not just regular officers, that takes even longer! But, Teachers with guns and the proper training are already there. They would call the police, but, the Teachers don't have to wait 10 minutes or, more than likely, longer, for the police to show up, because they can respond instantly! In those 10 minutes- minimum- that you have to wait for police, that psycho, gunman or woman, could potentially shoot and kill over 100 students and employees at the school! One of them might be your kid or you if you work in the school!
Why is everybody so scared of the 1% chance that an armed Teacher might shoot a student, but, they're not worried that somebody working elsewhere could go to work and kill grown adults (and kids) where they work, shoot people while walking down the street, at the post office, get on the roof of their house and shoot random cars that drive by, have a shoot out with a rival gang or get caught in the cross fire. All of the above have happened and will happen again! But, nobody ever says anything about any of that! Your kids or you are 1 Million times more likely to be shot in one of those situations than by an armed Teacher with a gun who is trying to protect your child's life.
99% of people who carry guns in the United States and other countries know right from wrong. We all realize that if you shoot somebody, you will go to jail. In some cases, you could get the death penalty. Nobody wants that, so nobody shoots anybody else, unless they are psychotic or if it is self defense.
Even if you shoot somebody in self defense and that person was breaking into your house at the time or if it was clearly an accident, more than likely, in most situations, YOU WILL BE ARRESTED! They can hold you in jail for a few days, with no warrant or anything else. It's legal and you should expect cor the police to arrest you after you shoot somebody in self defense. They can hold you in jail, in FL, for up to 3 days, while they do their investigation. After that, they have to either release you or take you to see the judge. Then the Judge will decide what to do with you next.
Why are people so worried about Teachers carrying guns to school to protect their kids, but, they're not worried about anybody else carrying guns? They're afraid of situations that are possible, but not going to happen!  There is a much greater chance of a psycho breaking into the school harming your kid, someone shooting you at work, wherever you work or you getting injured or killed almost any other time or place than a kid getting shot during school by an armed Teacher who is trying to protect your children in school!
Teachers wouldn't be working in school if they didn't love and care about kids and they also understand them and how children act. They are not likely to harm kids.
Pencils and school books can be used as weapons, but, how often do you hear about Teachers or anybody killing kids with a pencil?
People are much less likely to attack another person or place if they know the other person has a gun or there's a gun or person with a gun inside the building.

TOM DULA (Pronounced: Dooly) The true story behind the song.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BtSzcKZGzDs&sns=fb

Tom Dula was a former Confederate soldier (1845-1868).
After the war, Tom resumed a relationship with Ann Foster. He eventually slept with Ann's sister Laura Foster. She became pregnant. Tom and Laura decided to elope.
Laura left home one morning on her dad's horse intending to run away and marry Tom and she was never seen alive again.
Laura's body was eventually found in a shallow grave in the woods. She had been stabbed in the chest.
Tom claimed he was innocent, However, he was convicted of her murder and hanged.
Somebody eventually wrote a song about the murder of Laura and execution of Tom. Nobody knows who originally wrote the song, however, in 1958, a band called: The Kingston Trio recorded the song and it became one of their most famous songs.
Until recently, I never knew that the song was based on a true story or even that Tom Dula was a real person. I always thought it was just an old song.
