I'm fortunate enough to go through active shooter training every yr and I always learn some interesting stuff. During training I often think "that's not what I thought it was". I'm curious as to what your guy's perspective is on some things based on media. No cheating! give answers that are in your head, not after a google search.  1. What type of gun is used the most in school shootings. Give the model if you think you know it... 2. Why did the Newtown shooter choose the school he did for his crime? (this is kind of a loaded question as he didn't state his motives, but there is evidence that you can make an inference from). 3. The Aurora CO theater shooter had theaters closer to him than the one he chose. What did they have in common? Remember... I'm curious as to what the media has lead you to believe and not what you can research. |

1. I would think semi-auto pistols, Glock would be my guess
2. Not sure on that one
3. It was a gun-free zone. All random mass shootings happen in "resistance-free" zones.

Total guesses.
1. Semi auto pistol
2. He attended that school.
3. They weren't showing the same movie that played when he shot the place up. I think he shot during a batman movie.
Once I saw SD's answer to #3 I think it makes more sense than mine.
I don't watch much news on TV. (Regardless of what Lovin says). So I may not have been swayed much by media reports.
I swore off most news after Newtown.

Number 1 9mm glock.
Number 2 because he knew it was a gun free zone and had no resource officer
Number 3 they had more exits?

1 - 82% of shots fired in school shootings are from handguns. I don't know the most common brand or model, I figured the media slant would have most people saying "assault rifle", specifically an AR-15.
2. He drove past several schools who had resource officer cars in the parking lot. He stopped at the first on e that didn't have a cop car...
3. "No carry" signs. The theater shooter also drove past several possible targets but stopped at the first one that prohibited guns on premises.
You guys are good! I really thought the media had slanted the facts towards their agendas but you guys nailed them!

I think most of the folks here, understand the media is a propaganda machine not factual. Ya, I should have known that this group would be on top of things. That's why I prefaced it with "based on media". I'm continually surprised at the things I see in the news that I know is different. Makes you wonder how much of the crap that you don't know about is wrong too (which I pretty much assume is all of it). |

Just read a response to a possible Al Franken run for president in 2020....and I was looking for a place to post this:. Funny stuff....and likely true of the democrats problems......
Every time Kaepernick kneels, Trump gets more votes. Every time a Confederate statue is taken down, Trump gets more votes. Every time an illegal commits a crime. Every time tranny bathrooms become a huge issue. The Dems are boxed in by their Political Correctness. As Bill Maher said, they're like a guy whose nuts are in his wife's purse.

This was being circulated by some of my OZ friends..............not sure about the facts......
UNDERSTANDING THE REAL PROBLEM HERE IN AMERICA WHICH OUR 'GLORIOUS LEADERS' AT ALL LEVELS' REFUSE TO ADDRESS!
If this is true, God help our children & grandchildren survive.....
PRESIDENT’S CABINET
These numbers help explain why these last eight years were disastrous for the USA. I read the last item and then look at Trump's Cabinet. No wonder Washington, DC is in a turmoil.
Trump's picks are bosses who expect their employees to work.
This is what bothers a lot of people about Trump. He won't accept a can't do attitude, or inexperienced, incompetent performance. He will get results; it just might not be smooth or pretty.
Here are some amazing stats: Make sure you read to the bottom. An eye opener!
I. These 10 States now have more people on welfare than they do employed!
1. California
2. New Mexico
3. Mississippi
4. Alabama
5. Illinois
6. Kentucky
7. Ohio
8. New York
9. Maine
10.South Carolina
II. Last month, the Senate Budget Committee reports that in fiscal year
2012, between food stamps, housing support, child care, Medicaid and other benefits, the average U.S. Household below the poverty line received $168.00 a day in government support.
What's the problem with that much support? Well, the median household income in America is just over $50,000,which averages out to $137.13 a day.
To put it another way, being on welfare now pays the equivalent of
$30.00 an hour for 40 hour week, while the average job pays $24.00 an
hour.
III. Check the last set of statistics!!
The percentage of each past president's cabinet who had worked in the
private business sector prior to their appointment to the cabinet. You
know what the private business sector is: A real-life business not a
government job.
Here are the percentages:
38% T. Roosevelt
40% Taft
52% Wilson
49% Harding
48% Coolidge
42% Hoover
50% F. D. Roosevelt
50% Truman
57% Eisenhower
30% Kennedy
47% Johnson
53% Nixon
42% Ford
32% Carter
56% Reagan
51% GH Bush
39% Clinton
55% GW Bush
8% Obama
90% Trump
This helps explain the bias, if not the incompetence, of the last administration: ONLY 8% of them have ever worked in private business!
That's right! Only eight percent - the least, by far of the last 19 presidents! And these people tried to tell our corporations how to run their businesses?
How could Obama, president of a major nation and society, the one with the most successful economic system in world history, stand and talk about business when he's never worked for one?
Or about jobs when he has never really had one? And, when it's the same for 92% of his senior staff and closest advisers? They've spent most of their time in academia, government, and/or non-profit jobs or as "community organizers."
Probably a good idea to pass this on, because we'll NEVER see these facts in the main stream media, or from the alphabet networks.
