NEWPORT NEWS — The Newport News Education Association President condemned the premise of the school division’s motion to dismiss Abigail Zwerner’s pending $40 million lawsuit.

The motion was filed last week by attorneys representing the School Board and argues that Zwerner, who was shot in her classroom at Richneck Elementary in January by a 6-year-old student, is only entitled to file a worker’s compensation claim because the injury she sustained from the shooting is a “workplace injury,” and that the shooting was a hazard of the job.

I think you need to go re-read and do some research. I never suggested a solution to school shootings at all. If you want one it's simple: better quality of life overall, better quality education, and guaranteed social services of various kinds. This is quite straightforward.

Now, if you'll stop putting words in my mouth I'll give you one more try. Otherwise, it seems like it's you that's sticking to the talking points and not at all paying attention.

Bruh. You're talking to an atheist socialist. I don't know how to be any more clear: your generic talking points literally don't make sense in any context, and certainly aren't a coherent response to anything I'm saying.

Many other modernized countries have the basic components that create a functional society. I'm not suggesting someone invent Star Trek replicators and magically solve all the problems. I'm saying the basic psychology that leads someone to commit atrocities almost always leads to a root cause that can be addressed at a macro level with the resources already available right now. We simply choose not to and allow the ultra wealthy to create an environment more and more conducive to enriching themselves further. This includes just about every piece of legislation that passes anywhere in the country - both for limiting and expanding firearm rights.

More guns surely isn't the answer either, they are already prolific. You couldn't get more even if you wanted. If you want to talk about realistic legislation a competence-based graduated ownership (or use, depending on how you define legal terms) permit addresses the vast majority of issues that both colors of koolaide drinkers ramble on about. In fact, we already do this with cars and motorcycless and airplanes and mining equipment and dangerous chemicals. It's not a difficult problem to solve. And yet, the actual legislation that is created to placate moderate liberals is always feature bans, and almost always only applies to new purchases instead of ownership or use.

You'd have to be an actual crypt dwelling sould eating ghoul to not acknowledge a realistic solution to the problem you are actively crying about, because that would mean you don't actually care at all and are just here for the drama and churn.
