No there aren't. There aren't Federal requirements and most freedom-loving states don't have state requirements. Hawkeye is right and you're wrong.

You're the one who started talking about it. More regulations aren't going to help. More police aren't going to help. People are already fed up with paying for both more stuff in the public schools and more law enforcement. I wasn't the one who started talking regs and personnel on this thread. You were and are. If you really think your kids aren't safe at school, it's your responsibility to keep them away from it. Screw what the law says. If they won't keep the kids safe or can't, you are the last one with responsibility to your kids. I mean ultimately.

This stuff is most common in the states that are already overregulated and underfreedomed. Personally, we don't need you telling us how to run our states and localities.

Y'all have my sympathy for what happened today. Prayers sent to everybody involved.

The country is out of money. The government is corrupt and pushing people. Look for more of this stuff as people get crazier and crazier especially in the liberal states. The government will react with further regulations and laws and less freedom for you to protect yourself and your family. Those who agree with the government are just assisting the problems. Everybody is responsible for first themselves and secondly their loved ones. If I don't think it's safe in a certain area of Kansas City, I don't go there and I damned sure don't take my family there. If I didn't think school was safe for my wife or kids, they wouldn't be there regardless of truancy laws or employment.

Ethan,

You are FOS...

You guys have been bitching about regulations for pages before I mentioned anything about keeping kids safe...

I'd burn every AR15 tomorrow if it meant not one more child would suffer.

My only legitimate comment was about how to make schools more safe. A concept you are failing to recognize. If the Country is broke, I did'nt break it. I don't give a rats azz about politics right now, is it legal or whatever your gripe is about private sales.

The Sate of CT and the Nation are on their knees right now over this tragedy. Excuse me for asking you to take your rediculous banter elsewhere...

I'm not the most religious person, but today I pray there really is a heaven and a hell.

You don't know jack from shixt dumbasss. This thread was 23 pages long before I ever commented. I've worked in the schools from the top to the bottom. I've been an FFL holder. I don't need somebody in a state whose laws contribute to this sort of thing preaching to me about making the schools safer. I have two kids in Grade School in a public school where my wife teaches. Running down AR's in the way you are doing just exacerbates an already grim situation. I feel for everybody involved in this terrible situation but wringing one's hands and searching for a "solution" is exactly what the bad guy's want. That's why the [bleep] NRA has supported almost every gun law to ever come down the pike. You get caught up in "solutions" and lose sight of the fact that keeping weapons for defense is an inalienable right. It can only be taken away by God Himself. Can it be usurped? Certainly. But the right is something recognized by the Constitution, the very law of our land, as being above it, itself.

You want to help out by seeking a solution to this? Work with every iota of your strength to allow good people to carry guns in the schools and protect our kids. Work for gun safety and other firearms training at school and at the earliest levels.

At one time I actually thought that guns in schools were a bad idea, but now is the time to do just that. Our country evidently is becoming violent enough that we have to protect our kids with guns at school. The very idea of them there may have prevented this. If not, there is an excellent possibility that it would have cut down on the casualties. And finally, if not, it wouldn't have been for lack of trying. Right now schools are a very visible pool of helpless victims. We don't need more silliness like all sorts of stupid asssed security measures that can be bypassed and take up the teachers' day [bleep] with them instead of teaching. We don't need more expensive guards taking up money that could be used to educate. What we need is to make the people who want to do this know that they are going to pay to do it.

If our natural right to self defense is infringed it won't be by the anti-gunners, it will be by gun owners who wring their hands and collaborate to work for some silly solution while the big boys [bleep] them. Our biggest threat to our way of life are people who are just [bleep] stupid and confused, not to mention easily lead by the bad guys. Mourn the fact that these precious, poor little ones could have been saved by one, cheap, underpowered, ILLEGAL GUN in the school.

Then, as suspected, you are a typical loopy leftist. By that sort of short-sighted societal reaction to tragedy you'd damn every American to slavery, and countless millions to the chambers and the incinerators, many of whom will be children, YOU IGNORANT PIECE OF CRAP!

I am.

PORTLAND, Ore ... Nick Meli is emotionally drained. The 22-year-old was at Clackamas Town Center with a friend and her baby when a masked man opened fire.
"I heard three shots and turned and looked at Casey and said, 'are you serious?'"
The friend and baby hit the floor. Meli, who has a concealed carry permit, positioned himself behind a pillar.
"He was working on his rifle," said Meli. "He kept pulling the charging handle and hitting the side."
The break in gunfire allowed Meli to pull out his own gun, but he never took his eyes off the shooter.
"As I was going down to pull I saw someone in the back of the charlotte move and I knew if I fired and missed I could hit them."
Meli took cover inside a nearby store. He never pulled the trigger. He stands by that decision.
"I'm not beating myself up cause I didn't shoot him," said Meli. "I know after he saw me I think the last shot he fired was the one he used on himself."
The gunman was dead, but not before taking two innocent lives with him and taking the innocence of everyone else.
"I don't ever want to see anyone that way ever," said Meli. "It just bothers me."

Hey, dumbphuck! Firearms regulations (which don't apply to the majority of private firearms transactions) and transactional laws in general are too distinct subjects.

And you are a teacher? Poor kids...

Clearly he needs to be n center stage as this thread was NEVER supposed to be about regs.

I'm not the most religious person, but today I pray there really is a heaven and a hell.

I know, but sometime after TRH interjected the point had to be made that the regs exist, and in this case they have been broken and bent so badly that any additional regs or laws Federal or State would not have made a difference. They too would have been broken.
