Abbott: New laws will come from school shooting
The hill ^ | 05/27/2022 | Lexi Lonas

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) on Friday said he expects new laws to be enacted in response the shooting this week that killed 21 people at an elementary school.

“Do we expect any laws to come out of this devastating crime? The answer is yes. Absolutely yes,” Abbott said.

When asked about calling a special session for the legislature in response to the shooting, he said “all options are on the table.”

Since the shooting, Republicans have focused their messaging on school security, while Democrats are advocating for more gun control.

Laws are fine if they required an armed officer at every school. They are fine if they require a single point of entry and safe fencing. If they are more gun laws it’s a total fail.

if teachers and staff were well-trained and allowed to carry, even if none of them did the school shootings would stop because the shooter wouldn’t know what he might encounter ...

“Abbott: New laws will come from school shooting...”

Like what? Murder is outlawed? 1,000 foot gun free school zone?

How about to be a teacher you have to be armed and well trained.

District police chief, Pete Arredondo

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4066723/posts?page=51#51

The incident commander, the chief of police of the Uvalde school district, determined that the situation inside Robb Elementary School had transitioned from an active shooter to a barricaded subject, McCraw said. The district police chief, Pete Arredondo, did not attend Friday's news conference, and McCraw did not refer to him by name, discussing only his title.

Thanks. This is the guy we need to interrogate about his decisions on the scene that day.

Some kind of law making it illegal to kill people may be beneficial

I saw a reworked “blue line flag” that had a yellow stripe instead. Should be sent those cops.

The stupid party just lost the November elections.

You still think that when they do things they swore during campaign season they would never do that it's because they are stupid?

PLENTY of laws are possible that WILL NOT affect legal gun owners, and I’m sure that Abbott will only go there (Cornyn, I don’t trust nearly as much).

Example: Updating state law to override Soros judges and thus putting felons in jail, as we used to do here.

The BIG QUESTION is whether the people who benefit from these shootings (the Democrats and Neocons who support Ukraine) will again be able to stop these reforms.

what law will you enact to keep someone from driving into the kids on the playground? or waiting outside for the bus? hijacking a bus full of kids? Running a bus full of kids off the road? chaining the doors locked and burning down the building from outside? poisoning the koolaid in the cafeteria? starting a fire under the bleachers during a packed football game?

I could go ON and ON

You CAN NOT protect us against every possible way of being attacked. You can ONLY put the evil and crazy people somewhere they can’t harm anyone or themselves. (jail or the insane asylum)

STOP trying to “rehabilitate” the evil and insane!!!

LOCK THEM UP!!! or better yet execute them.

Hopefully this will convince some teachers about the importance of security and that it should NEVER be second to convenience.

Make all the laws you want, ya posers! Criminals and the criminally insane will ignore them.

In fact, they won’t even know they exist! They don’t CARE!

Maybe they can pass a law to require police departments to hire brave men and women who will run TO the sound of the guns to save innocent lives.

How about we REPEAL the Joe Biden “gun free” school zone laws. You know, the ones that are abysmal failures. The ones that have resulted in 3 TIMES the number of school shootings.
