      The great thing about this is that teachers had guns, but no one at the school knew which teacher had them or if they were even present. Literally just security theater

    The conservative mentality truly is that an average armed white person becomes Robocop in the presence of a mass shooter. They believe it solves the situation 100% of the time, before any violence occurs. They think the situations is always the shooter busts in the room, armed white man fires exactly one round to incapacitate the shooter, the room cheers.

    Thus the more individual armed people, somehow the safer any situation can be, because the world is only split into two camps: good white people who are intrinsically good and sickos who are basically real life jokers.

    I have a coworker who keeps getting caught carrying his firearm into the workplace. He should have been fired the first time, but they let him stay because of nepotism. We work around explosive gasses, but he's still convinced being armed makes us safer by proxy. One time I asked him how he would know the difference between a normal person carrying a gun and a deranged mass shooter who will pop off at any moment, without regard for themselves or others.

    What I've learned is conservative gun people think they have a Dragonball Z ability to read auras, when in reality they're just racist. My coworker basically said he's comfortable with white southern people carrying guns, but would get nervous around Muslims or what he called goths.

          1926.900(b): Smoking, firearms, matches, open flame lamps, and other fires, flame or heat producing devices and sparks shall be prohibited in or near explosive magazines or while explosives are being handled, transported or used.

          This is straight from OSHA's website so I think it does, his firearm is endangering other employees and management has a responsibility to address it

            This reads as strictly in the context of explosive environments (i.e. atomized gas). As I understand it individual employers are allowed to set their own firearm rules, with the exception of state based laws that may supersede some of it.

              Either way I don't think reporting it to OSHA will do anything at all :shrug-outta-hecks:

        Just sent him a text and asked. He seems very confused and basically described men wearing makeup. He said they wear trench coats too. I have a hunch he might mean drag queens from previous experience with this guy. Or he's trying to describe a kind of stereotypical pervert who is naked under a trenchcoat and flashes random people.

        He's way too deep in the sauce of conservative Facebook memes to make sense. I'm also constantly stunned this guy is like 7 years younger than me.

          I think the Colombine kids wore black clothes and trenchcoats? So he might be running on very old stereotypes?

          This sounds like someone who is dumb as a fucking rock and hasn't experienced real life at all outside of his incredibly small bubble

    Maybe if we arm the students then we’d get the shooter next time.

        We got to teach the kids how to use anti tank guns and how to advance under heavy artillery fire.

    What a shocking revelation! One or two people (who may not even be there) carrying for self defense doesn't guarantee the safety of everyone else in the surrounding area. It just gives an individual a fighting chance if caught in the middle of something, like the Indianapolis mall shooting.

      I also want to arm teachers but that's so I can organize them into armed unions demanding better pay

    There was an article where a good guy with a gun stopped a shooting. The cops rolled in and shot him cause he had a gun. Which is better than some other cowboy just doing the same but not by much.

    Leftists on the mass shooting of a Christian school by a trans culprit.

    This is horrible.

    :grillman: on a Buffalo shooting by a chanbrain culprit

    When you troll an SJW epic style!

    We are more concerned for the well-being of white, Christian children than CHUDs.

      Conservatives don’t care about white victims of violence at all. Whenever they get killed by cops, they’ll use that as a gotcha for BLM or something, but they’ll never protest the police or anything. And of course they always care more about the availability of their treats than white students, or even western music fans, killed in mass shootings. Dead white people are just props to conservatives

    Still waiting for The Good Guy With The Gun to magically appear once which will justify every Burgerland belief once and for all. :grillman:
