Good luck getting quality educators at that point.

Because the schools are full of quality educators now?

I can flip your argument and say that perhaps quality educators will come when they feel like they can defend themselves.

Using the word "clip" in reference to various handguns is correct. if I were referring to a shotgun, I would have used shells

Uhhh.. You haven't a clue what you're talking about. Do you fear ghost guns as well?

Pistols and most rifles take magazines. Some rifles take clips. Some shotguns also take magazines.

You should educate yourself before trying to talk in depth.

But we undoubtedly have a problem with mass shootings that needs to be addressed.

We really don't. It's a rare occurrence and happens less frequently today than it used to.

The fact that the killers used guns is an issue.

No it isn't.

The majority of kids who shot up schools didn't purchase the weapons themselves. They stole them from their parents or someone else who legally owned them. I think the Aurora theatre shooting is the only one where the guy actually bought the guns. The Sandy Hook shooter took the guns from his mom for example...what can you do about that?

The issue with your argument is you can implement all these restrictions to make it harder to buy guns, and when someone wants to commit a mass shooting they will go and steal the guns or buy them illegally. So no problems were solved yet people's rights were infringed. Then when the shootings continue, you'll be right back on here arguing how we need to do more until eventually all rights are taken away completely.
