By FortuneFaded Go To PostDoesn't this shooting shit on all the theories that teachers should be armed? The gunman killed a 29-year veteran of the police force. I'm sure Susan, the 25 year-old English teacher would do a much better job.
The solution is to arm everybody, silly.

You’re gonna have to ask those that think their owning 15 firearms is worth the deaths of 20 little kids in Connecticut because I sure as hell cant tell you
Gun ownership is too ingrained in certain states, thats why second amendment (and contributions towards it) wont change any time soon. Saw some interview with a Texan that said if they take away our guns he straight up confessed that they will riot.

Oh Bernie.
I get it if a white person feels uncomfortable to vote for someone black but that really is racist, as soft as it is.
Don't get why he's making that into a big point, when from what I've seen gerrymandering and making voting hard for non-white people looks like the biggest reason why US elections will be a shitshow for the next few years.

I see he learned nothing about primaries and votes in the south from 2016. HE did follow up with an apology and said Gillum etc faces racist candidates and campaigns, but it's kinda meh.

He argued that Mr. Mueller was a principal officer because he is exercising significant law enforcement authority and that since he has not been confirmed by the Senate, his appointment was unconstitutional. As one of us argued at the time, he was wrong. What makes an officer a principal officer is that he or she reports only to the president. No one else in government is that person’s boss. But Mr. Mueller reports to Rod Rosenstein, the deputy attorney general. So, Mr. Mueller is what is known as an inferior officer, not a principal one, and his appointment without Senate approval was valid.
But Professor Calabresi and the president were right about the core principle. A principal officer must be confirmed by the Senate. And that has a very, very significant consequence today.
It means that President Trump’s installation of Matthew Whitaker as acting attorney general of the United States after forcing the resignation of Jeff Sessions is unconstitutional. It’s illegal. And it means that anything Mr. Whitaker does, or tries to do, in that position is invalid.
Much of the commentary about Mr. Whitaker’s appointment has focused on all sorts of technical points about the Vacancies Reform Act and Justice Department succession statutes. But the flaw in the appointment of Mr. Whitaker, who was Mr. Sessions’s chief of staff at the Justice Department, runs much deeper. It defies one of the explicit checks and balances set out in the Constitution, a provision designed to protect us all against the centralization of government power.
If you don’t believe us, then take it from Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, whom President Trump once called his “favorite” sitting justice. Last year, the Supreme Court examined the question of whether the general counsel of the National Labor Relations Board had been lawfully appointed to his job without Senate confirmation. The Supreme Court held the appointment invalid on a statutory ground.
Justice Thomas agreed with the judgment, but wrote separately to emphasize that even if the statute had allowed the appointment, the Constitution’s Appointments Clause would not have. The officer in question was a principal officer, he concluded. And the public interest protected by the Appointments Clause was a critical one: The Constitution’s drafters, Justice Thomas argued, “recognized the serious risk for abuse and corruption posed by permitting one person to fill every office in the government.” Which is why, he pointed out, the framers provided for advice and consent of the Senate.
We cannot tolerate such an evasion of the Constitution’s very explicit, textually precise design. Senate confirmation exists for a simple, and good, reason. Constitutionally, Matthew Whitaker is a nobody. His job as Mr. Sessions’s chief of staff did not require Senate confirmation. (Yes, he was confirmed as a federal prosecutor in Iowa, in 2004, but President Trump can’t cut and paste that old, lapsed confirmation to today.) For the president to install Mr. Whitaker as our chief law enforcement officer is to betray the entire structure of our charter document.
As we wrote last week, the Constitution is a bipartisan document, written for the ages to guard against wrongdoing by officials of any party. Mr. Whitaker’s installation makes a mockery of our Constitution and our founders’ ideals. As Justice Thomas’s opinion in the N.L.R.B. case reminds us, the Constitution’s framers “had lived under a form of government that permitted arbitrary governmental acts to go unchecked.” He added “they knew that liberty could be preserved only by ensuring that the powers of government would never be consolidated in one body.”

Dean said that investigators were seeking a search warrant to look through Long's house, where he lived with his mother.Yikes.
A neighbor told CNN that Long's mother "lived in fear" of what her son might do, saying when police were called to the house earlier this year "it took them about a half a day to get him out of the house."
Neighbor Richard Berge said Long's mother told him she was concerned about her son, though not worried about her own safety, and that "she was ... kind of beside herself, she didn't know what to do because he wouldn't get help."
Berge said that when he saw police activity at the house Thursday morning, "I knew what it was."

just telling a friend that, yes, vet care is ass as fuck but it used to be worse. deployed or not, just being introduced to the life makes you more dangerous than most. california's got the strictest gun laws in the country too.
i'm still saying that gun laws don't mean that much when accessibility is the bigger issue. mental health is a huge thing too but institutionalizing people off of a few complaints is.... not something people are trying to incorporate into normal practice.
