Active shooter situation at school in Parkland, FL; reports of victims

[thunderchicken]

But they will jump right on a 7 year old the chews his poptart into the shape of a pistol.

I have been concerned this could happen with my nephews. 9 & 7yo, constantly watching hunting shows with grandaddy and playing with nerf guns.

There in is the problem.

Yet we used to have a whole raft of classifications for the mentally ill that we were allowed to identify and keep them off the streets as a hazard to themselves and others. As it is now we just await their fatal meltdown. People may call it what they will, not calling it the spade it is is just awaiting the next shooting and engaging in handwringing saying we can't call it that spade.

When that is brought up the conversation goes to..
But if they couldn't get a gun..
Oh, you mean like no one gets drugs anymore cause they're illegal?..
Oh, so we should get rid of all laws?..
Let me explain malum prohibitum vs. malum in se.


I'm getting worn out from these knuckleheads.

You will not sway them. They are incapable of much independent thought. Hive minds are impenetrable.

While the cost of armed security in schools would be an issue, I bet there are plenty of old farts like me who are retired and would volunteer to be a school guard for free. Also, I believe in Israel the teachers are armed and trained. I would be 100% for that and frankly, can't see why we as a country would not pursue such an obvious solution.

Having met so many of my kids and their kids teachers there is no way they should ever own a gun.

 

[thunderchicken]

That would be a bad bad bad idea. Think about this.

Potentially a bad idea. But reality is there are only so many options for medical treatment. And with mass casualties going to all the area hospitals it has to happen

So, what your saying is we need shooting ed in school?

Absolutely right. And yes teachers should be trained. Problem is too many are serious lib's who can't bring themselves to even think about handling an evil, threatening, sickening gun

Yet I so love to state the obvious that some would ignore...

The denial is strong with them.

Putting the victims and shooter, and therefore their families together.
Oh yeah, nothing can go wrong.

This crap gets so old so fast. Lets for once leave this and the other POTUS out of this one. If you want to do that feel free to start a thread. Please. This is not the time or place.

How about from here on out? Because, obviously, my comment isn't (by far) the first time such a sentiment as been relayed. I, at least, added purple to indicate the ridiculousness of the idea.

False Flag to take pressure off the president?

What the hell are you on about? This is way out of bounds.

Apparently now it is.

I saw and get that Kut but not here. Please. Just for once lets leave that dog outside. Kids are hurt. The gun community will again be in a bad light. We can and will discuss all of this in another thread.

Thanks.

ESPECIALLY this soon. This could be really bad and regardless of the text color that comment was in very poor taste.

 

[churchmouse]

OK guys........Please.
