The border city of Uvalde, Texas is mourning. Salvador Ramos, 18, shot and killed 19 fourth-grade students and two teachers at Robb Elementary School. They were all in one classroom. It’s a heinous crime. It’s a Sandy Hook-like situation. Ramos shot his grandmother before this rampage. The grandmother is said to have survived. We’re going to hear an earful about gun control, so-called assault weapons bans, and other anti-gun talking points from Democrats. And the result will always be the same—Americans will not torch their rights to appease a political class lusting for more power and control, especially after the COVID lockdown fiasco. NONE of the COVID protocols were effective. The lockdowns did next to nothing to reduce the mortality rate. The one policy that has been effective is having police officers at schools.
School resource officers is not a new policy. Sandy Hook adopted it after Adam Lanza’s equally evil shooting in Newtown back in 2012. It’s backed by the National Rifle Association. It has a proven track record. For years, we’ve had stories of these brave officers stopping would-be school shooters. Does it stop all of them? No, some manage to pop off a few shots but the level of carnage is not catastrophic when SROs are present.

Here’s a better three word policy: Our teachers carry.
I forgot to mention there was a school resource officer at Uvalde. It didn’t stop that shooter.
However, armed teachers would have stood a better chance.
I’ll take it.
I’d do a psych profile on teachers before arming them. I wouldn’t arm all teachers because not all of them are stable.
But there should be multiple armed teachers with training in each school.
It’s doubtful that those two women would have stood a better chance. Reality is that most teachers are not the so called sheepdogs. They are typically mommy age women who do not have a combat mentality.
And the SRO is typically sitting in a office somewhere near the Principals office, chatting up the secretary, doing paperwork, dealing with two students fighting, or little Johnny got caught with weed in his locker.
We need two men with a cop or military combat arms background, with slung rifles, walking their post. They do nothing but watch for attacks. No directing traffic at mommy pick up time, no boo boos, no kid won’t mind the teacher.
Just literally guard duty. Combine this with controlled locking doors and strong glass and we’ll make headway.
Leave
Public
Schools
Thou shalt not kill worked really well when I was growing up but then the child molesters, homos, lesbos and trannies down at the NEA and “Teacher’s Unions” decided they needed to toss God from the classroom if they are going to molest and groom the little kids. As a result, the kids decided to pick up guns and started blasting their classmates. It’s time to knock off blaming the NRA and blame the real culprits, THE NEA! Our publik screwls suck.
” It’s time to knock off blaming the NRA and blame the real culprits, THE NEA!”
Nailed it. They have to be kicked to the curb in the solution here. The educators must lose ALL authority for the physical security of the school and be relegated to teaching only.
BANG!
I’m more partial to riot shotguns, especially in urban environs but , yeah, Port arms!
During the War of 1812, near Saratoga, NY, schoolmarms armed with muskets held off a band of Algonkin Indians, British allies, until the militia arrived. You can check the Saratoga, NY area archives. It`s a famous battle. Teachers have total amnesia concerning how to protect children from predators 2 legged or 4 legged.
Schools had armed teachers already here 200 years ago- nuthin` new.
SCHOOLS ARE GUN ZONES in 1800
“Children of the present day would be somewhat startled to go to school attended by large dogs, to keep off the bears and other wild animals, to study all day by the crackle of the great fire and back logs, to hear the howling of wolves at rollcall, and see the teacher take from its resting place over the door, a trusty rifle to guard the way home. Such were the first schools in 1800.”

My cat has more common sense and instincts on how to protect her young kittens than these educators do to protect children.
I guess these educators don`t read newspaper headlines neither. They do not even know that 2+2’= 4 police + dogs in schools = no shootings
Oakland CA public schools has had armed sheriff deputies in their schools for 40 years
I’m fine with this if there’s an option to open carry. Anyone who’s had to carry for a long day, and keep it concealed, could tell you that it’s wears and weighs on you as time goes on. Plus it keeps the teachers from being thrown in jail for printing or accidental exposure in the classroom.
DITTOS: “Leave Public Schools”
First thing my wife said after hearing of this shooting.
It doesn’t hurt to lock the door also.
If the intruder is near your location, you get kids out of sight in the room (the rooms don’t have windows facing the hallway). If there is time, desks, furniture is placed in the doorway.
If the intruder is in another part of the school, the teacher gets the kids out of the room and into a nearby treelike, out of sight.
If the intruder is forcing his way into the room the teachers and kids take anything to hand to throw at the intruder; desks, books, whatever. At this point you are facing kill or be killed.
These scenarios are practiced along with fire, tornado, and earthquake drills. I imagine there will be more drills next year.
Most people of prominent status, hire security guards with lethal weapons and martial arts training. How is it that our children, most vulnerable in a classroom, are nothing but raw meat and no worth, except as the servant of the state?
It has become ingrained into the mindset of the Left to use their freedom of speech to indoctrinate their fellow citizens to what they want them to believe and limit the freedom of speech that says otherwise. The freedoms enjoyed by generations of Americans have degenerated into a tyranny that scorns America’s legacy of freedom to pave the way for the political oppression of the individual. We are becoming an Oligarchy where a small group control America. This collective social model, that opposes our Constitutional heritage, is the way of the Marxist. For them, any excuse to
infringe on the Second Amendment, is their objective.
It is time to take action and put the Marxist Oligarchs, whether they sit on a school board or in a high government office, on the ejection seat.
Technology is being used to monitor everything we see, do, say. FBI, and law enforcement wasting all their resources with this technology to go after political opponents instead of training it on evil doers.
I can easily compromise with you ref your riot gun suggestion. Good point, and a powerful tool.
Remember those rolly carts the maintenance/sweeperupper guys push around? I always thot they should have rifle/shotgun scabbards bolted to them. At a minimum many neighborhoods have un-friendly varmits about. Some have edible varmits around. In my high school years we all had rifles/shotguns in the trunks because sometimes something needed killing on the way home.
In the case of Uvalde it’s still a mystery how the punk got inside with so many armed people OUTSIDE. Didn’t want to hurt his feelings? Maybe he had a note from Modern Milley?
Where I live they are locked. You have to buzz the door, show ID, and tell them why you are there.
