I recall early on it was briefly reported the shooter used either 5 round or 10 round mags. Then nothing until now.

Surprised anyone from the NYT would put that out on twitspace......but it is interesting. I don’t believe there would be some national move to arm teachers. The fact they “could be” armed would be enough to drastically reduce school shootings. This is the goal right? So we allow folks who want to exercise their constitutional rights to do so. What a novel idea.

200 of 1032 Texas school districts now have the Marshal system or the Guardian system both of which feature armed teachers and staff. The recent shootings were in a school district that had signed up for the Marshal system training but had not yet implemented it.

The two systems work and they are a direct threat to those who would try to harm our kids.

From the beginning it was fake news lying about “arming teachers.” It was always and only about not disarming the concealed carry people who are on staff at schools.

The gun control democrats were out there framing this as the shooter had a 30 mag and was spraying bullets all over the place. He was using a 5 round mag. how many times did this kid stop and reload? It does not matter because no one including the cop hiding behind the wall with a gun was not inside to confront the shooter. These shooters are not trained combat vets that can shoot under fire and remain claim. The first time someone confronts these people they are not going to remain claim and shoot with any accuracy. In fact the first time he hears a bullet cut through the air by his head if it did not hit him 9 out of 10 they will panic and hit nothing.

Another “bombshell” which isn’t even a Cherry Bomb.

It is all in the past, no one remembers.

So let’s be clear on what this means: the 9th worst mass shooting in US history, with a 17-person fatality count, was carried out using magazines that are half the size the state and federal Assault Weapon Ban bans want us limited to (i.e. 10 rounds).

Magazine capacity limits are just a series of intermediate steps. For pistols, 15 to 10 to 7. And they're not done yet. Remember...the ultimate goal is the prohibition and confiscation of all firearms, period. Every last one of them. Always remember that.

in Israel, there are always staff and teachers on hand with a sidearm, and it is reassuring, not tension raising or threatening, and accidental discharges are unheard of. Five-round magazines, though? Couldn’t somebody have just grabbed the gun out of his hand? And this is the dreaded AR-15? Woooooo!

I don’t know why he would only use 5 an 10 round mags since 30 round mags are readily available in Florida.

People that practice reloading are not slowed by a restriction on magazine size.

Makes for lots of range days with 1 round magazines on your belt.

But, after 3-4 hours of it a week, it doesn’t matter at all.

Still not doing that twitter thing right though. :P
