1. I love that song! Thanks for posting.

2. You don’t suppose the MSM has had any influence on public sentiment about school shootings, do you?

What’s interesting 77 percent focused on mental issues and 47 percent said having schools with armed security needed to be done. So they bury lead the largest complaint 77 vs 57 (who said stricter gun laws) was mental health issues

Since these 'children' are laying this shooting square in the federal governments lap and screaming for federal action. What howls would ensue if the feds went into a 100% protect the chillrens mode ?

The feds would have no choice but to protect the schools as 300 million guns would be impossible to be gathered in even 1 generation. So, a school fortress with TSA type screening access and armed security in every access and hallway. Distinctive student garb/uniform that would making ID of an outsider immediate. No grouping of students allowed and hallway access strictly controlled.

Essentially think penitentiary, prison garb, full access screening ie: xray, strip search. Walk to class on allotted hallway lines. I think the snowflakes would melt, but this is essentially what full time protection would call for.

Probably not what the activists have in mind.

The premise of the poll represents everything wrong with America right now.

Oh save us, mighty government! We can’t help ourselves!

Interesting how the school shooting came along just when Trump’s poll numbers were rising, higher than 0bama’s numbers at exactly the same time in his presidency. Funny how that happened.

The entire thing is being orchestrated by handlers. Cells in every school and faculty lounge form a network able to start a ‘spontaneous’ protest at a moment’s notice.

Silly me. I blame the evil person who pulled the trigger and the TV networks that made him famous.

We need National Constitutional Carry and repeal of the insane “Gun FRee Zone” laws.
