No. Not just no, HELL NO! That is exactly the kind of thinking the founding fathers were protecting us from with the Bill of Rights. Not a {expletive} chance. That is a hill I'm ready to die on.
“some freedoms are going to have to be given up”
Funny how politicians and bureaucrats are always saying this.
Oh crap. He’s my congressman. I retired down here from Jersey two years ago because it was conservative. I voted for that jerk.
Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.
I’m sure I read that somewhere.
So the FBI gets the blame ? That schools security system failure should be brought to public scrutiny . That kid got on the grounds and entered the system when he should have been prevented from doing so . Because of the policies employed. For starters this school has a so called “gun free zone”. It does have a parking lot officer who may be armed assigned to patrol the multi acre site in a golf cart , but bans guns from the rest of its internal security .
Because of these Ding Bat liberal policies he’s unable to question he avoids other issues. Just how safe and secure are those kids ? There’s a lot of krap that happens in such institutions; Assaults, fights, thefts, books and items stolen, teachers accosted, kids intimidated....
He should have been also calling for examining how student vs student, and student vs teacher altercations, vandalism, and thefts, which are bound to occur were being dealt with.
Because in an educational unit this size it’s pretty clear their security system failed . In a secure system Cruz would have never gotten inside.
Hope any pray “Fhoney Runey” gets primaried away.
EVERY time one of these idiots starts spouting this $hiite, WE should be demanding that ALL weapons be banned from ALL public buildings INCLUDING, courthouse, jail, Senate/Congressional Offices, etc etc
At least then we will be ‘forcing’ them to say THEY are actually better than You & I, Kids in school etc.
NO SPECIAL EXEMPTION for guards with guns, let the guards guard the idiots the same we they expect YOU & I to guard/protect our family.
If they really want to get serious start with the DEATH PENALTY for ANY CRIME committed with a gun or fake gun.
Make it easier for the idiots that want ‘death by cop’.
WE have to start playing these idiotic games like ‘they’ do.
How about when people see something AND say something, then the entities given the authority to enforce the rule of law should DO something.
Of course, they are currently and they will in the future, do less to enforce the laws since they have been politicized by the obama administrative. This reason is exactly why we have the 2nd amendment and it is exactly why it must stay.
I will not give up my God given right to self-defense from horrible liberals.

Those who would give up liberty for security deserve neither.
Shot my Colt LE 6920 this morning. Man, that gun is fun to shoot. When I got home found out police had stopped a car at the end of my street and an occupant had made a run for it, right into my neighborhood which is a few houses in the middle of a very wooded area. Since my Colt was handy I used it to clear 4 outbuildings on my property. They used dogs to find the guy laying in the swamp. So there are two good reasons to own an AR style rifle.
Mr. Rooney has no right to decide which rights I have and which I do not.
I do not recognize his right to abrogate mine.
Whenever you give up freedoms, the blood spilled to get them back always costs more.
Who can stop that destruction except a vigorous, alarmed, and armed populace fighting for it as a last resort?
Our Founding Fathers knew it. That is why they put it in there and let it stand alone on it's own.
Because Prohibition and the War on Drugs were so successful. For the cartels it’s just one more thing to smuggle across our porous borders. And the customers won’t be law abiding Americans. They’ll just be the hapless victims.
