Anybody’s sick old granny could’ve stopped the gunman if she had a gun...but because liberals make the rules that we live by, nobody but the insane killer had a gun.

“How soon will this student be suspended and his family harassed?”

I saw him being interviewed by Fox News. I think this kid will be ok. Appears to have the right stuff to me. Back to his contention; agree that if the coach had been packing he might have stopped the shooter. I think the sooner legislation to allow teachers and administrators who are willing to go through the training to pack the better. One essential legislation that needs to passed is a Good Samaritan law exempting those who use their weapon in defense of school kids from civil or criminal prosecution. Schools also need to be hardened as well.

The guy did not provide much security, did he?

This would have been a non issue if this kid knew there was an armed guard in the school. This crap doesn’t happen in city schools because there are cops at those schools.

Agreed. Looking at his court appearance picture, he looked like he just came off a severe drug high and IMHO, no doubt that he was “on something”. Looking at him, there is really nothing to the SOB. Anyone could have easily taken him out with the right “tool”. Libs won’t rest till they get everyone killed. They’re moronically insane.

on the local radio station here in Fl, the host of a RKBA show was livid about this. He said the coach had a Concealed Carry Permit!

How many school attacks have happened in Israel since the Ma’alot massacre in 1974?

What has caused the change? ARMED TEACHERS.

Thanks Joe Biden for your ‘Gun Free School Zones’ law suggestion to stir up the loonies. It was one of the goofiest things I’ve seen in years. And this liberal is talking about running in 2020.
