Not one syllable about hardening the school buildings. Ever wonder why so few shootings take place at banks? Banks are somewhat hardened, often have armed guards and hold things worth protecting.

Why not build schools like banks?

Don’t be so sure.

More and more people are sensing these incidents are orchestrated.

The investigation of where/how the Uvalde shooter got the $1500 to buy the weapons, and chatter says the probes are bearing fruit.

So if that’s a valid thesis, it would follow that horrific incidents might die down.

Let’s pray that SCOTUS kicks these gun grabbers in the teeth before they’re assassinated by the Left’s lunatics.

While I agree with you, this Leftist governance will use any
excuse whatsoever to refuse you ANY gun ownership.

If they catch you in a small infraction, you’ll be looking
at your gun rights in the rear view mirror.

That’s what is so onerous about the move in this direction.

They are looking to force people into breaking small
infractions, so they can accomplish their goals.

There is an observation out there that states and the
federal government are making felons of any sane gun
owner, by continually changing the rules.

You’ll notice the word “civilian” in there?
A reminder for everyone:

“The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms.

History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing.”

Adolph Hitler


“Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe.”

“The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretence, raised in the United States.

Noah Webster

Warden, is your jail secure?

I’m proud to say it is. And I did it without violating Amendment II.
