Anyone who looks at things through a "more government bad" perspective like that has a childish understanding of nuanced issues.

That’s not a bullet proof back pack. http://americanblastsystems.com/bullet-resistant-backpack-1/

The fucks a transparent backpack gonna do? "Oh fooey! Guess I can't go gun down the school becuase they'll see the guns in my pack!"

Remember when Imgur didn’t have a bunch of shitty political posts? Can we please get back to the memes?

That school is near my hometown. This is exactly what I'd expect from places near my hometown.

The print is this backpack wouldn't stop the type of school shooting that is prevalent.
My phone corrected irony to print.

The kids don't want schools alone to be safer. They want everywhere safer. They see gun control as a part of achieving that.

Shit welcomed to life. Everyone wants to be safe.

It’s a respectable goal. It’s just their plan to achieve it is proven ineffective (Aus/Ireland/Jamaica) and imho morally reprehensible.
I await the Republican plan to address gun violence in all its forms. They've got control of the entire Federal legislative process.
You and me both. L is competent implementation of incompetent evil R is incompetent implementation of competent evil.
Lets go team Libertarian! Incompetent good FTW!
I like a good Libertarian joke, and anytime I hear "Democratic Competence" I think of.

Because they are I'll-informed on the subject.
And you're free to think that, I also haven't seen a statement from either of the activists shown here about the backpack policy
I have seen no evidence that they are informed on the issue whatsoever. Here's a statement from Hogg: https://youtu.be/dEQbjUGEyGc
There are others out on the twittersphere, Google "parkland clear backpacks". CNN has a few.

So how do we solve this school shooting thing?
Well, the overwhelming majority of mass shootings are in gun free zones. Can't remember the last time a police station was shot up. 1

I can. But generally those idiots are looking for suicide by cop.
Note that I mean that a PS in question was massacred, not 'a perp got a couple shots off and was summarily executed'
Could have an armed presence at schools for starters. We definitely need more funding to research mental illness. Find it's root causes... 2
...and find ways to remedy those afflictions. It isn't a gun problem it's a people problem.

More security = less freedom & privacy. Patriot Act is a good example.
There's a balance to strike. No one is less free because cockpit doors are bulletproof. No one is less free because I can't buy a nuke.
I’m less free when the gov’t bans kinder eggs because not everyone can safely handle them.
This is true. I miss Kinder Eggs from when I lived in Germany. There are plenty of examples of good regulations & bad regulations.

When the right to arms is infringing on my right to live, I think more security would mean more freedom.

Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a littletemporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety
That's the dumbest fucking quote. People living in houses gave up freedom of walking willy nilly, people living with police gave up...
The freedom of committing crimes with impunity. It is worth giving up some freedom for security! Just make sure you get a good exchange rate
Prob is lacking that right infringes on folks right to live. Gun=Equal ability to defend regardless of size/strength/disability of user.
Not really? Guns overwhelmingly favor the attacker.
Only if the victim doesn’t have one too...
