“[Assault weapons’] menacing looks, coupled with the public’s confusion over fully-automatic machine guns versus semi- automatic assault weapons —anything that looks like a machine gun is assumed to be a machine gun— can only increase the chance of public support for restrictions on these weapons.” Josh Sugarmann, executive director of New Right Watch, spokesman for the National Coalition to Ban Handguns, “Assault Weapons and Accessories in America,” policy report of New Right Watch and the Education Fund to End Handgun Violence, September 1988
“Self-interest has no place in society” Sandy Cuney, Handgun Control Incorporated, 5/6/94
“Our main agenda is to have all guns banned. We must use whatever means possible. It does not matter if you have to distort facts or even lie.” Sarah Brady, Handgun Control, Inc., The National Educator, January, 1994
“If I could have gotten 51 votes in the Senate of the United States for an out right ban, picking up every one of them... ‘Mr. and Mrs. America, turn ‘em all in,’ I would have done it. I could not do that. The votes weren’t here.” Dianne Feinstein, Senator, CBS-TV’s “60 Minutes,” February 5, 1995

“everything that has been going on in our country,”
Oh I know; we’ve been having carpet-bombings all over our cities all week. It’s been terrible.
Hey, what do you know.. The schools become victim of their own refusal to teach children to take ‘responsibility’ for what they say.. Just let them make threat after threat and keep the schools closed all year long. America would be better off with children NOT in the union’s ‘indoctrination farms’ anyway.
I'm beginning to despise my fellow Americans... for real.
When I was in High School (late '60s, early '70s, East Coast) bomb threats were an every other day thing.
For a while, we were assembled outside and the usual suspects slipped off to smoke or go into town. Any time someone wanted a day or half-day off, there'd be another one. Not long after that started, the policy changed. Once the gymnasium was "cleared", we were packed in there until the rest of the building was deemed OK. I'm not sure how safe that would have been in the event there had actually been an explosive device which detonated, but that was the way it was dealt with.
Of course, any terrorist who was aware of that policy could have used it against the students, but since the ongoing unrest was racial, and the student body roughly 50/50, they'd have had both sides to answer to.
Anyhow, the students who wanted to would game the system, and no doubt will be doing so now.
The inherent weakness in that is that the cry of "wolf" will some day be real.
Nothing less than a capable defense against an armed maniac will be effective.
from a friend who works in a gun store, from Thursday post: THERE ARE NO GUNS LEFT TO ORDER FROM MY DISTRIBUTORS!!!!
They are sold out of everything, except for a very few single action revolvers. I even had to order a couple of neutered, emasculated komiefornia versions with bill klinton magazines to get anything. Ammo? none left, not even any .22lr. If the bastard in chief wanted to put more guns in the hands of everyday, normal good Americans, he has succeeded. School teachers, accountants, truck drivers, home makers, doctors, firemen, you name it....they are BUYING guns and ammo in large quantity, and two thirds are first time gun buyers.
Unfortunately, they, probably, won’t be rumors for long, the way that things are, actually, heading throughout the U.S. and throughout the world.
“It’s our duty to have an environment that’s psychologically safe as well as physically safe,” Bauman added.”
And so now the kids know they can’t count on you, Coward.
Once there were Men and they knew enough to rise to the challenges they encountered. A rumor floats by and you abandon your post.
