Depends on the definition the government uses for "anti aircraft missile defense system."
You can buy and build model rockets. You can buy and use drones. You can buy and use radar systems. You can go to school and learn computer programming and engineering. You can build drones and rockets and guidance systems.

You could probably get away with having a system that "accidentally" happens to act as an anti aircraft missile defense system.
It's going to take a lot of money.
If it is reactively triggered you will most likely face murder charges for killing pilots and passengers and/or damaging property.

You can't legally buy a "patriot anti aircraft missile defense system" from Raytheon without special permission from the government.


Many schools have limited students leaving campus on their free periods, they have strict dress code/uniform policies (e.g. uniforms, can't have swear words, no Trump support hats), they've funneled access points for entrance or egress, locking doors, can't leave class, visitors have to sign in and out, can't just hang around, they've put up metal detectors, done random locker searches, brought in drug sniffing dogs and police, some can do random drug tests, and now you want to put (maybe armed?) guards in the schools.

Kids can't vote until they're 18, so their rights aren't all that recognized until then.

Maybe we should just let the people running private prisons run the school system?
Schools are effectively affecting the same safeguards.

And as we all know, nothing bad ever happens in prisons because they are under constant monitoring, control who comes in and leaves, there are armed guards, guards control everything that comes in and out of prisons, and most money goes to prisoner reform/education, right?
But will yield the point, there are no mass shootings in prisons.


How does this look from the students perspective, rather than the parents/random adult civilians perspective for what they want to do to their children and how they want children to perceive it.

REally?

Las vegs -Paddock had LEGALLY OBTAINED AR-10 and AR-15 rifles.

florida nightclub -Mateen had LEGALLY OBTAINED Sig rifle and Glock

Virginia tech killer had LEGALLY OBTAINED Glock

Adam Lanza DID TAKE parents weapons

The church shooter DEVIN was sold an AR 556 from a licensed dealer/store

Nikolas Cruz used an AR 15 that he bought LEGALLY from a gun shop

The AR15 used by Malik and Farook were LEGALLY PURCHSED

the AR15 and the Glock that Holmes used to shoot up the theater were LEGALLY PURCHASED


the list goes on and on

when it comes to these MASS SHOOTINGS the weapons have not usually been 'stolen by criminals' but obtained by citizens who had not yet been considered 'criminals' and therefore permitted these types of weapons with no consideration of their history of illness or violence.


And I have conceded I in no way believe any law STOPS any type of crime completely, but may make it less simple for such crimes to be committed

but many homicides have been, just because they haven't made the national news doesn't mean it doesnt exists.

Mass shootings by strangers makes up the least % in gun homicides and since you mentioned those killers what do they all have in common?

In case you are wondering? mental health issues.
Normal people don't go around killing people for the sake of killing me people.

ask your friend Igor since he is the self proclaimed historian, how many mass shootings have there in America since her birth?

will he include the The 1873 Colfax Massacre, 1903 in Winfield Kansas a gun man named Gilbert Twigg opened fire during a concert killing 9 people.

America has a history of mass killings, whether by gun, bombs,racially motivated like the The Ocoee massacre in 1920.

So the question is how do we stop the violence? or can you?

So the question is how do we stop the violence? or can you?

And the 700 or so people murdered in Chicago each year by criminals using guns... were they legal guns?. would some sort of law.. actually any sort of law, stop that from happening.

The lawless do not care about laws. neither do the psychopaths.

And you are missing the point. more laws will stop nothing, the mass shooters had little or no intension of actually living thru the carnage they created, They knew full well they would be caught or killed. They wanted to be known for what they did. so you really think that having laws in place to identify them is some sort of deterrent...after the fact... really?

How so?

ms.harmony,

except the existing laws are not deterring the violence in Chicago is it?

Chicago has some of the strictest gun laws in the nation, how is that working for them?

which laws on the books deter criminal activity that uses violence?
which laws deters the mentally unstable from getting weapons and killing innocent people?

I have to bring up Olivers post again
'You can't change human behavior by regulating mechanical devices. . .

what makes you think adding new laws will deter the gun violence we see today,provide some evidence please.

ahhh so you want laws that turn guns that fire lead bullets into guns that fire corks. i see now

tht's the only way regulating the device is going to stop deaths

really. murder and mass murder are already codified and thus provide the means for prosecution and yet murder and mass murder are not deterred

well that is wonderful Ms.Harmony that and 7 dollars will get you a grande frappuccino at starbucks.

Look, the reality most people are law abiding citizens, that isnt the problem, the problem is the small percentage who are not and do the most damage.

Stricter gun laws federal, municipal or state will not prevent people from getting guns.

Actually let me take that back, It will prevent some people from getting guns, so they will improvise and use other devices like a rented Van, like what happened in my city last year and up in Toronto earlier this year.

Or they will methods like Mcvie and those scumbag Boston marathon bombers.

but since this about Guns, why dont you be honest and put your cards on the table, you want to eliminate certain types of weapons period.

Yes. I do believe the purpose and location of use should be a part of the regulations for gun sales.

I believe those who have them should have the documented purpose of how they will be used (like car insurance) and then regulated by the stated specs of the weapon being used.

just like a Car that goes three hundred miles an hour has no business on the roads in the US where that is not the speed limit anywhere. There are weapons that have no business in civilian communities where there is no rational legal use for them.

I also want to see guns not placed so easily in the hands of the unstable, regardless of type.


My brothers have guns and my mother. I am not against guns AT ALL, I do not support BANNING any and all guns or even most guns, Im for honesty and common sense use and regulations.
