If the good kids don’t have guns who’s going to stop the bad kids?

[–] [email protected] 39 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Heavily militarized police once the bad kids run out of ammo.

Only after 1.5 hours waiting outside though!!

can't get the heroes to risk their lives

We don’t need to arm the teachers - just the Hall Monitors!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Hell, that hall monitor would probably do more than the police

The students should just protest the genocide in elementary, the police will never be allowed to leave. Bob’s your uncle.

I am blinded by your brilliance. Well done!

[–] TokenBoomer 1 points 4 months ago

Thanks. Early onset dementia tends to focus the mind. /s

Not the police, they only stop the good kids.

From what I’ve seen there’s a good chance they’ll hide outside while the situation unfolds.

I remember the Daniel Defense (gun maker) ad with a toddler.

[–] Maggoty 22 points 4 months ago (1 children)

That's hilarious though. I grew up with guns, was in the Army, did the whole combat thing, and now I don't think we get any peace from gun violence until we return to lower power ammunition and bolt action/revolver/lever action weapons as the cap on civilian firepower. (Basically take the spring out from behind the bolt. So you have to manually chamber the next round.)

And if anyone wants to wield something heavier they need to show up for drill and annual training. But they don't get to take those weapons home.

That way we have our well regulated militia, and legitimate hunting/self defense weapons without also arming every murder-suicide mental health case with enough firepower to make an entire police department stare at their shoes and pretend they don't have a duty to kick that door.

But what happens when I need to fight the army with my assault rifle in conventional warfare? What am I gonna do, wage guerilla warfare and mind my ammo like some fucking communist?

Guess you'd have to manually rack that next shot while they aim their tanks and missiles at you. Good luck ig.

There it is again, that funny feeling

[–] PolyLlamaRous 3 points 4 months ago

I can't view the web page in my country... But It's not real... Right? Right? It can't be real...

[–] TheDannysaur 0 points 4 months ago

I mean let's be real. There's a difference between Walmart making this a campaign and some kids or crafty adults stealing a sign from one part of the store and putting it in another.

It's almost certainly the second. Executives can be tone deaf, but that assumes large groups of people all giving this the ok, whereas the other solution is one person acting alone.

It's a good statement, but we should pretend that Walmart intended this to happen. I know everyone comes in here with "I wouldn't put it past them", but let's use some common sense here. It's much more likely a non employee put it there as a joke or statement.

Sick fucks and their twisted sense of humor.

I wish I knew who they were so I could thank them for the laugh.

[–] ParabolicMotion 7 points 4 months ago

It’s like I’m looking at a line from a Pretty Reckless song, but it’s not about a party.

[–] Anticorp 3 points 4 months ago

Most of those rifles are banned in Washington State now. There's an open lawsuit against the State to determine the legality of the ban.
