The teachers and staff at the school were being applauded as the “real” first responders.
If only some of them had been armed...
It is disgusting.
To Hell with these useless as$hole politicians.
You are not going to take them.
American women need guns to protect themselves from being beaten and raped as happens in Europe.
I can hear the hoplophobes now:
“How DARE you politicize this tragedy after we’ve just politicized it!”
The standard mantra of the gun grabbers is quickly becoming "If you're not in favor of gun control, SHUT UP!".
Proofreading is hard...
<sigh>
“affected,” not “effected.”
Should be a federal law each classroom must have a safety locker of at least one set of body armor, a shield, tasers and imho at least a bean bag device or simply a shotgun.
Nutcases like this usually turn tail against return fire.
Heck, just give the teachers a flare gun!
Or a non-fatal self-defense weapon such as a 'stun gun', or pepper spray
This whole reaction is disgusting to me and I don’t even own a gun. There has been no real discussion about the environment these killers grow up in, the role of social media, the impact of medication, the role of schools and any number of societal reasons that may be contributing to these killings. Just getting rid of a certain type of gun is only a feel-good measure for liberals who dare not really address the real issues that are causing these youths to turn into murderers. I suspect because it would reflect terribly on their mores and beliefs.

That’s the Liberal/Progressive attitude on most issues.

BINGO!
I am amazed by people who place their “valuables” in safe places protected by firearms and then send their children to school in “gun free zones”.
I disagree. the guns carried by teachers should be their own and ones with which they are familiar and practiced and which are on their person for immediate use in an emergency.
The first seconds are very important. If the shooter is opposed, immediately his plans change.
Put signs out front of the school that “Employees are armed. CCW license holders are welcome to carry.
That will keep the creeps out of your school.
This system of MORONS can’t enforce existing laws and ignore warnings.
Problem i see is the majority of teachers are liberal and won’t even touch a gun.
To my surprise I have not found the aversion of guns to be a problem with teachers. Most of them would prefer to carry whatever their politics.
The trustworthy ones can qualify for a CCW without any problems. The others aren’t going to be able to qualify.
It might be helpful too to state in your recruitment ads that you must be willing to get your CCW. Build the marketing.
“Gun-Free School Zones Act”
Signed into law by none other then the esteemed George H. W. XYZ Bush. Thanks a rot.
