How many UNION MEMBERS would grieve having to work in a school where a shooting took place?

What people need to know is the school violence in China. They have no guns. So they attacked kindergartens with knives. Often they killed 10 to 20 kids in one attack. China could not stop it from reoccurring. So they put guards in all the schools. And they stopped the endless reporting on it. The two acts stopped the attacks. Schools are attacked because it makes the news and its an easy target.

Not just schools. Gun free zones get people and kids killed.

I know something that is apparently very hard to figure out.

If they reduce news coverage of shootings to just a small mention and call the killer "deranged murderer" or something like that the killings would stop.

I don't understand why that is so hard for news media to figure out.

Since we apparently can't have that, the next solution is to arm as many teachers as will volunteer.

“China could not stop it from reoccurring. So they put guards in all the schools. And they stopped the endless reporting on it. The two acts stopped the attacks. Schools are attacked because it makes the news and its an easy target.”

The Columbine outcasts inspired generations of lonely, socially inept losers. There will always be these types. Liberals love it because there is no way to “solve” the problem and they can go after gun owners on a regular basis. The Ministry of Propaganda bureaucrats love it because they can manipulate useful idiots to follow script and protest our rights. All to turn the USA into a third world sh*thole. They used Columbine for social engineering. Millions of libs fell right in line, no questions asked.

If we ban salt weapons and mandate universal background checks, most gun violence in the US would cease.

None when I was growing up. Parents were responsible and accountable for their childrens’ actions.

If large buildings hosting hundreds and sometimes thousands of children under the age of eighteen didn't exist .... there would BE no shootings.

If men's incomes can come up close to what is now a double income family .. (CLOSE, I say, not match), I think the incentive for a mama to stay home would help advance home schooling.

I have been an opponent of government indoctrination centers for many years and shutting them down would serve our nation quite well if we can get the mama's to teach their own kids.


Problem is;
The mama's feel like they are not smart enough to teach their own kids so they send their kids to the same institution that graduated the mama who feels academically inferior.

Why is it always take action now? Why is action better than meaningful accomplishments that address root causes?

And while it’s on the surface a great meme, it doesn’t appear to be true.

That’s what I get for not fact checking. And I don’t mean Snopes.

The system is broken on many levels! HANDS OFF polices put into play, willing administrations wanting to be all inclusive, avoid mental illness issues and don’t report, “we can fix these disturbed children here at school” by being inclusive, continuing the fairy land all is beautiful all is wonderful non threatening atmosphere, paying little or no attention to security, convincing parents that the problem is not the system and how we have to keep our school safe by not bowing to threats like this which means nothing changes. They know who the problem kids are and they refuse to report or those who do or want to are ostracized for doing so

Jeez, I failed the quiz badly. The only question I got right was the question about increased funding. I guessed that 99% of teachers wanted more money, and I was right.

They DON'T WANT shootings to stop. It is obvious that none of the leftists want to do any of the things that would stop school shootings. Their goal is to get rid of all guns so they can turn the USA into Venezuela or North Korea.

School security is still absent in many schools. A kid gets in with a shotgun?
