The one thing that is clear is that the Brown Shirt Media will publicize it to the moon which guarantees the next psychopath will be even more motivated to become the NEXT famous school shooter.

Why the talk of gun grabbing?

Doesn’t London’s Islamist mayor say that this sort of thing happens in any big city?

Put retired police and military to work as school security guards who are armed.

From the artilce: “And while everyone agrees mentally ill people shouldn’t be allowed to buy guns, how do we determine that someone is mentally ill until he does something that really proves it?”

According to some, anyone who wants to own a gun is too mentally ill to own one.

The gun grabbers want any new gun control restrictions to go to a fed court challenge.

Actual threats to kill, shoot up a location or victims, or similar threats provable by verifiable evidence such as videos, writings, or recorded statements made by a person should be in background checks as an outright block.

Such threats are ALREADY illegal. I may not be a lawyer but it sounds a lot like the definition of “assault” to me. It only becomes “battery” when you actually do it.

Do not be confused when someone - as happened to me - says there has been 30 ‘mass shooting’ just this year. This is Newspeak. If there are 4 or more shootings during the same general time and in the same general area, you have a ‘mass shooting’.

No longer is a ‘mass shooting’ defined as one crazy guy shooting a bunch of people, but as 4 or more people shooting 4 or more people in the same city and roughly the same time.

MSN Newspeak.

If the news media had not made the Columbine school killers into media sensations, perhaps there would not have been so many that followed, Mr. Goldberg.

Do not further limit the Second Amendment rights without limiting the media’s First Amendment rights. The Left’s argument that no assault weapons be allowed because they didn’t exist when the Bill of Rights was written could also be applied to the First Amendment. Only newspapers and pamphlets would be allowed freedom of the press, because radio, television and computers did not exist at the time.

Echoing what Mark Levin spoke of on his radio show last pm.

Think of the security that our Congresscritters have-both federal and state. Think of the security of the White House and other federal sites.
Think of the security in place at airports.
And on and on. Guards, arms, metal detectors, fences, gates, locks.......

Not 100% secure, but in a free society 100% security is not attainable. Probably not attainable in any scenario.

His statement was, if we meet with our Congresscritters, ask them if our children deserve even a tenth of the security at schools that they do.

I agree. We need to provide security at schools.

All these mass shootings happened after the mental hospitals closed. Just saying.

The next time some wacko drives 90 mph down the wrong way of a street crashing into cars and killing people, lets ignore the crazy and demand stronger traffic laws.

The problem is EXISTING laws are not enforced. The Rats don’t want them enforced on the off chance on might actually work and then there would be no further need for Moore “gun control”. Check on the number of “failed NCIS checks” that were prosecuted. Out of hundreds of thousands, last I heard, the number was single digits. Yet “failing an NCIS check” is a felony in itself. Says so right on the form.

You said it, and it’s high time to reopen them again.

The Only Thing We Know for Sure After a Mass Shooting

One thing lost amongst the barrage of rhetoric - apparently there WAS an armed "School Resource Officer" in the school who claims "he didn't encounter the shooter".

My question is - What precisely was he doing while people were dying?
