“It’s Time to Do Something!”
Crisis Magazine ^ | Feb 26, 2018 | REGIS NICOLL

Posted on 02/27/2018 5:55:18 AM PST by aj2me

In the wake of the recent Florida school shooting, a chorus of well-meaning folks is demanding, “Enough—it’s time to do something!” As usual that “something” includes tougher gun controls and universal background checks—technocratic “solutions” that are ineffective at best and detrimental at worst (continued at link)

Why was nothing done?

Why did the “student” know the shooter’s name
from the closet BEFORE anyone else did?

Why was the stand-down orders given?

Why has the coverup lasted more than 1 week?

How many more have been killed/taken/raped/assaulted
by the same cowardly procurers?

How many witnesses have been silenced or killed so
far in this county?

“It’s time to do something”

Something was done when the Bill of Rights was created that guaranteed we can all “do something” to keep our kids and community safe.

I wish those “well-meaning folks” would say that “it’s time to do something” about illegal immigration. A lot of them have but those protests go unnoticed by the extreme left, “mainstream media”.

Yep. And then came “gun free zones”. And here we are...

It appears that none of the idiots will acknowledge that the only solution is access control. If a shooter can't get in, he can't shoot anyone in school. The drawback is money.

If we got rid of the B.S. courses, it would free up some funding. If we decertified unions, teachers would have more take home pay and that would mean fewer demands for pay raises.

These are not PC solutions but ones that would work.

No gun law has ever stopped a shooting

I'm not even going to read this thread because the ONE thing NO ONE is saying is"

LET JESUS AND PRAYER BACK IN

And everyone KNOWS that (the elimination of prayer in schools) was when the trouble started and it is at least the effort to correct a very serious wrong in American culture.

When you say access control, you mean locked doors and security systems that require positive identification and preparation for a visitor ?

Because Sandy Hook El had that.

A psychopath can sweet talk his way through one of those. When I do penetration tests on systems for my clients, I can sweet talk anything from just about anyone in the building. People are like that.

The solution is clear, and it doesn’t matter which party you are in or how you vote. From almost day 1.

All creatures on God’s green earth can defend themselves. Be it with antlers, hooves, teeth, claws or even speed and camouflage. Human’s natural defense is a brain that can invent and use tools. We invented the sword, the battle axe, the cannon and yes - the gun. And it is our natural right to be able to use these things in defense of ourselves and those around us.

When it comes to the actual law, the real “law of the land” this right is re-affirmed. And things were going along just fine until people started to be abused to a point of no longer being people. Through chemical exercises (Such as psych-prescriptions) or behavioral (Abusive families or situations that they should and could be removed from).

Now these people are out there in droves and we need the first group of people to be on the lookout for the second group of people.

To tie these together with the gun we examine the life and work of John Moses Browning. ‘The great equalizer” gives small, weaker people the ability to defend themselves and others against superior physical threats.

Anything else.. and I mean ANYTHING ELSE (Such as banning bump stocks) changes this balance and more people will get hurt... Because that’s how the balance is changed. That side of the equation will always take the hit.

Oh, I didn’t know about this one.

Too bad more people don’t have the...intestinal fortutude to ask these questions, especially in the media.

I understand this morning Pam Bondi, the Fla AG was specifically asked if there was a stand down order. Her answer: “I can’t talk about that”.

Wait a minute.

Weren't we told by femanists that women having and raising children by themselves was the best way to raise children? And, that men were worthless....especially, White men.

Yep. On my facebook feed this meme was illustrated in a graphic. Bottom line is that this is what you get when you kick God out of schools.

This whole brouhaha turns on two words: "Allahu Ackbar".

If the shooter had been shouting these two words, liberals would be screaming "Don't blame and punish all Muslims for the actions of one crazed individual."

Since the shooter did not shout these words, liberals are screaming "Blame and punish all gun owners for the actions of this one typical individual".

“When I do penetration tests on systems for my clients, I can sweet talk anything from just about anyone in the building. People are like that.”

I have a business associate who does that for a living. He’s walked into telecom closets at banks with nothing but a fake badge, shirt, and a spray tank full of water presenting himself as The Orkin Man.

He successfully penetrated half a dozen branches before someone stopped him.

If he ran down and killed those Kids using a Car or Truck, the only sensible solution would be banning Cars and Trucks, right?

They should ban the combination of Evil and Human Ingenuity. I’m sure that will be as effective as making Murder Illegal.

I meant the whole property, but I didn’t that there should not be armed personnel inside. Even individuals who have proper id to enter should go through scanner. Policy of no “sweet-talks” should be strictly enforced. Personnel who have no ID should be escorted by security personnel AND the individual who is be be contacted.
