Ok then we will continue to have kids taking parents guns and killing people I guess. You talk about small #’s or small % of improvement if we do XYZ, such and such won’t make a difference etc but what about the tiny tiny % of odds that your wife is going to get attacked?
So incredibly sad, but I must say, this child is extremely smart. In those circumstances I’m not sure many adults would have a quick thinking reaction like that.
"Well-regulated in the 18th century tended to be something like well-organized, well-armed, well-disciplined," says Rakove. "It didn't mean 'regulation' in the sense that we use it now, in that it's not about the regulatory state. There's been nuance there. It means the militia was in an effective shape to fight." In other words, it didn't mean the state was controlling the militia in a certain way, but rather that the militia was prepared to do its duty. https://www.cnn.com/2016/08/10/politics/what-does-the-second-amendment-actually-mean-trnd/index.html That's why it has been determined that the founders wanted the individual people to be free to keep and use weapons comparable to what the standard infantry soldier used.
Press conference right now... The officers on the scene decided this was not an active shooting but instead a barricaded suspect. If they had thought this was an active shooting they would have made entry.
Again, they thought it was a barricaded suspect and they thought there were no kids at risk. A shooting at a fucking school and they thought no kids were at risk?!?
So would preventing anybody who has history of domestic violence or history of abusing animals from legally accessing firearms. And making sure there is only 1 entry point for schools, which is only unlocked to allow people inside when the office approves it (meaning all doors to outside are always locked from the outside). That would eliminate school shootings like this almost entirely. Of course you'll still have illicit activity on school grounds after hours, which is where the vast majority of "school shootings" happen. But we're going to have to get serious about our social policies.
They haven't told a lot of truth yet, and this sounds like another example. It will all come out eventually. They are hiding or covering something up that would reflect poorly on them.
The shooter "barricaded" himself by locking the classroom door. The police were able to "unbarricade" the door by getting keys from a janitor.
And they don't have specific tools to open locked doors? I can't imagine the door was built like Fort Knox. It is a small school in a rural area. You know that shit is cheap.
"Texas embraces and teaches the active shooter doctrine. That you find and stop an active shooter. But it was decided that this was a barricaded subject and not an active shooter."
We could give every school in the country $1 million to fix these kinds of problems over the next year for less than $200 billion. It would be great for the economy.
Disgusting. Every one of those police who didn't act, and anybody who decided the best course of action was not to act need to spend time in jail and lose the ability to every be police again.
From the FBI's website: "An active shooter is an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a populated area, and recent active shooter incidents have underscored the need for a coordinated response by law enforcement and others to save lives. " Seems pretty straight forward. Did they think he was just testing how loud his gun sounded?
Before the shooter made entry into the school he walked outside of the school and fired into classrooms through the windows.
We couldn't even get everyone to vote on whether to fund baby formula for like 30 million dollars. 200 billion is quite the ask.
