To Liberal, the truth is what they want it to be.

Liberals are not going to allow a little matter like truth to get in the way of their blaming gun owners for the death of 17 kids.

The 2nd Amendment be damned, too. That says it all.

Israel knows how to deal with shooters and terrorists.

https://townhall.com/columnists/lawrencemeyers/2018/02/15/president-trump-have-education-department-mandate-active-shooter-protocols-n2449726

From the article:

“In 1974, Israel endured the Ma’alot Massacre in which “Palestinian” terrorists took 115 people hostage at Netiv Meir Elementary School. Twenty-two children and three others were killed and 68 injured. Israel now requires schools with 100 or more students to have a guard posted. The civilian police force handles the entire security system of all schools from kindergarten through college. The Ministry of Education funds shelters and fences, reinforces school buses, and hires and trains guards.

Guards don’t just stand around. They check everyone entering, and engage threats.

And yeah, they’ve got guns.The lawful purposes for carrying guns are very clear: protect school personnel and students, create a sense of security, deter the ill-intentioned, and provide self-defense.

Common sense. Except to the illogical dullards who claim that “adding guns to schools won’t fix anything” and are fixated on the NRA and the ridiculous notions that gun laws magically stop criminals and crazy people from obtaining one of the 300 million guns in our country.

But more to the point, Israel’s Police Community & Civil Guard Department have a preventative care program that encourages safe behavior and offers violence protection strategies in normal situations. Yet students are also trained in how to respond to an active shooter situation.

Ben Goldstein, an American who made aliyah to Israel, and now serves as volunteer security and supporter of IDF soldiers, says America is behind the curve. Nevertheless, he says, it doesn’t take much for students and teachers to protect themselves.

“Barricade, barricade. Are desks movable? Is the teacher’s desk movable? Can they barricade inside of 20 seconds? If the shooter gets in, the kids should take whatever they’ve got and attack. They can’t just sit there frozen or they will die. America does earthquake drills, why not active shooter drills? More kids have been killed by shooters than earthquakes.”

The fire alarm evacuation produced a vulnerable target. Fire drills should be evacuations to a different structure.

The Left will do anything to create more hate and more division. It is one of the pillars of the communist plan

🤔. No doubt the NRA gifted him the AR. Just pay your dues and they mail one to you.

Not trying to insult first responders but has anyone questioned this mouthy punk ass polidiot calling hisself sheriff or the local PD Chief as to where the school resource officers were and why they were not able, at the very least, mitigate the death toll ?

...... Pretty sure school taxes PAY for school resource officers to be present during school activities be they classes or extracurricular events, sports etcetera ........

As well multiple entrances were unsecured on a regular basis per students interviewed on the Joe Pag’s AM radio show today.

Yes for fire safety reasons the doors are unlocked from the inside but locked from allowing access from the outside. If it must be opened from the inside it alarms, or should. Daily access should come from no more that 3 or 4 points such as a parking lot, the front door, the sports field and the administrative offices.

Our local school district has armed and trained staff as well as school resource officers. The actual number is considered Essential Elements of Friendly Information (EEFI) so the number of armed staff and cops is confidential need to know only .

“”Failure “” if at least one armed member of the staff or resource officers couldn’t get “in range” of an active shooter in less than 60 seconds.

Serious questions I’ve searched for and missed or just isn’t being discussed yet ?

Grateful for information if anyone has it.

I’m fascinated by the fact that more than twice as many people were killed in the Mandalay Bay shooting in Las Vegas, yet that story went down the memory hole in less than a week.

Guess DIMS figure they can get more mileage out of dead adolescents.

Yes. You are preparing them to shoot “assault rifles”.

Liberals will say anything, do anything to get meet their stated ends. They are horrible people and we must continually fight against them.

The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.

How does that work if the building is a single, contiguous structure, such as the school where my wife teaches?

IF, the NRA offers “training”, I would bet the emphasis and majority of it is on GUN SAFETY.

Any idiot can figure out how to hold, point, and shoot a gun; they come with directions on how to load them (or, you can just watch a Hollywood movie).

SAFETY would be the emphasis of NRA training...not “mass killing”.

Liberals....idiots all.

“...blaming gun owners ...”

They can “blame” all they want.

At the end of the day, we’re still armed, and they still have to take them.

Good luck
