Far fetched unless the gunman has a car….

They cost thousands, you need a federal stamp to own one. But yes according to Margit and the rules of LT this type of discussion does not belong here. She has made this very clear several times And to add to that this type of discussion would not be welcome on the FB discussion group either. Unless it specifically dealt with Lincoln schools.

Not in the ivory tower of Lincoln or the lush suburbs of Newtown, CT. It would NEVER happen here….

A town message forum focused on hyper-local issues does not seem like the right place for this type of back and forth. Hopefully this thread can end and this discussion can be shifted elsewhere. Plenty of places for this, but this doesn’t seem like the right one to me… On May 25, 2022, at 6:42 PM, Sara Mattes <[email protected]> wrote: Excuse me-hope and prayers have gotten us nowhere!The bloodshed continues. Of course we are distraught and pray that we can move BEYOND hope and prayers to action that might, just might have a chance of stopping the bloodshed. I can balance sorrow and rage at the same time. ------ Sara Mattes On May 25, 2022, at 6:29 PM, john gregg <[email protected]> wrote: On a day of mourning instead of praising the people who saved lives like the border patrol officer who killed the shooter, or security officer on the grounds who also stopped more deaths and praying (we need more praying and faith for good in this world) for those who lost family members, children, to the selfish act of one person it has become an attack on those with whom this community does not like or even heaven forbid disagree with. It has also become a crisis of which people can push their agenda, that is this community, not pray for the lives lost and have silence to remember that any violence should never be tolerated. Nope, as Rahm Emmanuel famously was quoted.....“You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things that you think you could not do before.”― Rahm Emanuel My thoughts go to the survivors and families who lost people they loved to early and that the good people in this country can come together and help to find solutions to the many issues we have in front of us regarding violence and lives lost on a daily basis. This should be a case in point to bring a people together to have civil conversations and not cast stones from Ivory Towers.

They have been stonewalling gun reform legislation because they are beholden to the gun lobby. Power and money is what they are about. This week, the Governor of Texas (Greg Abbot), Ted Cruz, and Trump will be speaking at the National Rifle Association annual conference. How do they get up in the morning and face their conscience. Will they edit their planned remarks I wonder?

The guns in this country have to go. The framers of the Constitution would be horrified if they saw what is happening in this country with gun violence. When the Constitution was written men had muskets that take time to reload. Now everyone can have assault rifles and handguns. What say you Justices of the Supreme Court? What say you original intent proponents? The 2nd Amendment does not say that eveyone can have the guns available today that are bought to kill innocent people. No it says "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." We have gone so far beyond that original intent that we are all complicit at some level for the ongoing violence here. I say, let us protest. Let us march. Let us insist that Congress, state legislatures and the Supreme Court act - now... We must speak out. I pray for the 14 children, their teacher - and all the lives that will be touched by this horrendous tragedy. Thank you. Sarah-- The LincolnTalk mailing list.
