AR-15 rifles
Before the 2nd Amendment advocates jump all over me for this, please hear me out and give it consideration. I think AR-15 and other "military like" rifles that resemble assault rifles should be allowed but only at licensed shooting ranges. They cannot be removed from the range. Owners should be required to store the rifles *at* the range when not using them. I realize other types of guns, cars, trucks, knives, etc. can also be used in these mass killings in schools but for some reason the people that do this seem to have a fascination with military type assault weapons. It's not a 2nd Amendment thing. It's a mental attitude and perception thing and it needs to be addressed. As a country, we need to do something, not just talk about it like a bunch of politicians. And contrary to Harry's claims, mental health professionals need to pay closer attention to their patients and not hesitate to report anyone who even remotely appears to be a potential threat. The mental health people at the out-patient facility who treated Cruz reported him to be of "no danger to himself or others." He then went out with an AR-15 and killed 17 people, most of them children. |

If folks want to shoot them, rent them from the range and shoot the hell out of them. The range I use will rent any rifle or pistol in their rental selection, and it's a good selection, for $10. And, the weapons can be exchanged for other weapons at no extra charge. I don't think that will stop the shootings as about 8 million of them have already been sold. But, it would make the anti-gun crowd happy. I would even go along with raising the buying age of the 'assault style' firearms to 30 years old. |

I was really impressed watching the meeting Trump had with kids who were in the school when the shooting occurred and some parents of those killed. Nobody was crying out to ban guns. Many ideas were presented and discussed. The only person I disagreed with was the mental health professional who ignored the reality of the situations and promoted more "help" (funding) for those with issues. Other ideas ranged from training and arming volunteer teachers and administrators who could respond quickly while waiting the typical 5 to 7 minutes for the police to arrive. (all the killing in Florida took place in 7 minutes). Others, like me, think a ban or semi-ban on military type rifles should be considered. But the most impressive thing was it was a civil discussion with respect for those with different views. Oh ... and Trump himself did an outstanding job. I don't recall any previous president taking the time as he did to listen, ask questions and solicit their ideas and views. He was visibly moved by some of the comments. The jerks we have in Congress could learn something by seeing how these young people handled themselves. |

I'm serious about my comments above. I'd have no problem with stopping the sale of them, especially to youngsters - anyone under about 30. |

Did you see the story about the high school in Indiana that is actually taking real defensive precautions. They have marked out the safe zones on the floor where you are safe from someone shooting from the hall, the doors can be locked remotely, there is a **** load of surveillance, linked to the cops, the teachers carry panic fobs and they have smoke cannons in the hall that the cops can control for a dynamic entry. |
