According to this article from NBC News, a good guy with a gun just stopped a bad guy with a gun in Oregon.
And this happened at a school.
In a hallway full of students.
And the bad guy was carrying a backpack full of ammunition.
Who knows how many innocent people would have been killed if there had not been a good guy with a gun at the school.
If you get any more local information, please tell us about it.
I think legally armed parents should be allowed in schools as exercising their Second Amendment rights.
My feelings as well, and am disgusted by all these "We don't want to offend you" wimpy warnings.
The flip side is that a snowflake successfully sued someone who scared them, so the media puts a one-size-fits-all disclaimer on everything - like warning labels that enforce common sense on many items. (The classic being on auto sunscreens "Do not drive with screen in place.")
That is a questionable model of reality.
The more that is posted on freerepublic, the more hits freerepublic will get.
Limiting what is posted limits hits.
How does donating prevent people with blogs from posting on freerepublic?
I do not see any logical connection, please explain the thinking.
Here is a link to Eugene Weekly. It’s a very liberal publication, but the article is pretty good.

Thanks.
This is why we need to prevent liberals from access to guns.
Besides, schools are a gun free zone!!
What was he doing there with a gun?
That sign alone should have been enough for the gun to not be there.
Can’t the gun read?
Been a Loooong time since I suggested limiting participation for those who don’t ante up....most FReepers use FR as their main source for news...having bloggers weighing in with inf o that is mainly cribbed from other sources anyway doesn’t help FR but it benefits them if they get enough of us to hit their sites...they get more hits and FR gets the same hits...not that hits have a lot to do with keeping FR financially healthy - we have no advertisers like the bloggers do.
When I said “more tolerable” I meant for FReepers who pay their, and a LOT of others’ way with the donations that keep FR on-line. If it doesn’t irk one to see others tapping into their hard earned money, then perhaps when those who don’t get irked about a lot of FReeloaders aren’t really irked about the drain the illegal invaders cause....same principle of some paying for the convenience of those who think they’re entitled to free stuff.
Why encourage an entitlement mentality on FR when supposedly espousing a personal responsibility mentality for the rest of America?
