A year after she was shot by her 6-year-old student in a Virginia classroom, former teacher Abby Zwerner said she still worries about the other children who saw it happen, and wonders how they’re faring.
Wounded by a bullet that struck her hand and chest and punctured a lung, Zwerner rushed the other first-graders into the hallway before she collapsed in the elementary school’s office.
“I hope that they are enjoying school, enjoying their second-grade year,” Zwerner, 26, told The Virginian-Pilot newspaper. “I hope that they’re still kind to their classmates, kind to teachers. I hope that they still have happiness, and that their happiness wasn’t completely stripped away.”
Punishment for irresponsible gun storage wouldn’t make a dent. All it would achieve is putting more people in jail, not actually preventing mass shootings.
Ban semi auto guns. Bolt / lever / pump / hammer (etc) action weapons only. That is plenty for hunting and defense scenarios.
Realistically, it’d have to be a long, multi phase roll out of voluntary surrenders, followed by crime enhancements, followed by open warrants.
You seem to have dropped this.
And who do you imagine is voluntarily surrendering? Not sure what you propose here.
Doesn’t that contradict your second sentence?
As far as bans go, some people obey the law, some do not. There’s also this.
All of your questions are addressed my first, succinct, comment. There’s no point in arguing with you if you’re going to ignore the points, I know where this goes.
Edit - ok, you had one point that wasn’t addressed. 2A. You have the right to bear arms. Multi action guns are arms. Just like we don’t have a right to full automatic guns, we don’t have a constitutional right to semi automatic guns.
Plenty of people on the left would voluntarily surrender their guns.
under no pretext
