There is camera/AI technology that has been around for a while that can easily identify that a person is carrying a long arm. Such technology could have automatically locked the door if it was closed and pinged the proper people.

Putting that aside, the whole notion that hardening school buildings will save kids from lunatics is an absurd notion in the first place. Pretend that we eradicated firearms in the whole country and that nobody has them. That would not protect kids from devoids. There are still hammers, knives and cans of gasoline and with those no school building is needed, just one of the 500,000 plus school buses on the streets in the US every day. Evil will find a way.

Hey Steny, how’s that Gun Free Zone sign working out for you?
Ain’t stopped anything yet. Steny you are a Grade A, Class I ASSHOLE. GFY you old dirt bag!

[joma89]

Again, all democrat party voters are the enemy, folks.

So Steny, does arming capitol police to guard your sorry asses in Congre$$ make you all safer?

[kenmcg]

Just more proof that the RATS want school massacres to continue.

[lgjhn23]

Ummm...Steny, old boy, I got some really sad news for ya: Yes, it does...a lot safer.
He’s lying thru his nasty teeth to the public...whadda jerk.
These RAT/UniParty hacks are a real piece of work.
Steny, let’s see you cancel your own security detail and see how that works out for ya...

“Cause only cops should have guns. And when the shooting starts, the on scene cops wait for braver cops.”

No, they wait for the BORDER PATROL!

Hi, my name is Nancy Pelosi. My husband Paul is a drunk, who recently caused an accident by blowing through a stop sign. He was arrested, but because of our standing in the community, and the money we can afford to press into the hands of the police, and politicians, Paul got preferential treatment. The DUI charges were dropped, no evidence from the accident exists, he will continue to be able to drink, and drive whenever he wants, and the best part is, all of you will never have that level of preferential treatment in your life. You will pay the price for your actions. Paul actually killed his older brother as a teenager, while he was driving fast, and crashed the car, but like this recent event, he wasn’t held accountable then either. It’s good to be the Queen.

"In other words, we’re not really interested in the safety of your children, we just use that as an excuse."

If they actually cared about the safety of children, they wouldn't support murdering them in the womb.

[1Old Pro]

He decried the arming of teachers, saying it would not make schools safer.What empirical evidence did he present to support this irrational statement?

[lgjhn23]

“..If they actually cared about the safety of children, they wouldn’t support murdering them in the womb....”

Exactly. These RAT/UniParty hacks are devil worshippers. They ALL bow their knee to their mighty abortion god, Molech.
They could care less about you, me, our children, grandchildren, etc. Most of em are pedophiles to begin with...just look at the squinty-eyed, pig-face, pedoJoe.

[mass55th]

Well said! 👍🏻

[Dr. Franklin]

You know this how you old dirt bag?

The Dem leadership reminds me of the old Bolsheviks running the Soviet Union in the 1980's. The are all ancient, behind the times, and tenaciously holding on to power to preserve the status quo. When they drop dead, I won't weep for them.

[ThePatriotsFlag]

No? Well then disarm Washington, DC...it will save us a lot of money. Thank you.

[chopperk]

Steny is an absolute genius who doesn’t have a brain in his head.

[cranked]

The continued infringement of law abiding citizens right to bear arms will NOT make schools safer either, HoyerIdiot!!
GTFO.

[DoodleBob]

Steny's detestable, but he's right.

But for the wrong reasons. And, candidly, Deplorables should be against arming teachers on empirical grounds.

As I wrote earlier, who gets to pick the teachers that'll pack heat?

Will it be some school board-designated committee (because we know how they LOVE justice)?

Will it be union goons?

Maybe it'll be the librarian who just added a bunch of Antifa books to the catalog.

Maybe it'll be this Fearless Lady.

Or that collection of sex ed specialists pushing the latest claptrap on children.

It sure won't be the parents, who are "domestic terrorists" in the eyes of the DOJ.

I'll go a few steps further....let's say some leftist agitator-teacher who did 4 years in the Army's is deemed "competent." He sees a bunch of conservative students and monitors their online activity, decides they're a threat because they wrote "Let's Go Brandon" and FJB and posted pictures of them at gun shows on Instagram, and draws his weapon on them in class and calls the cops.

He will argue (and, I submit to you, be supported in the press and by the school board vociferously) that he stopped a possible disaster. The parents of these students will sue, the NEA will protect the teacher at all costs, the parents will spend thousands on legal fees and their kids will be doxxed and have a hard time getting in to college or trade school.

The teacher will keep his job and become a celebrity for 20% of this nation, and be loathed by 30-40% of the Deplorables. The remainder/ballast will waffle. Meanwhile, another school shooting will happen because that's part of the systematic risk in a free nation.

For a nation like Israel where the citizenry has experienced this palpably, and where the threat is probabilistically high (way higher than in America), it seems to work. I also suspect "competence" isn't as politically defined in Israel. Israel isn't America, and America isn't Israel, just like adopting the gun control policies of Europe won't work here.

In contemporary America, this is a nice idea on paper. In practice it'll fail, because the local government and DOJ will make the call on "competency." And then this guy will carry...

Viable options include Homeschooling and private schools. But as long as in loco parentis reigns supreme, this is a futile situation.

[GailA]

It works in Israel, but then Mandarort Military traininng is a 2-3 year, requirement.

[GailA]

Their next Propaganda tool, SEL Socialize, Emotional Learning.

I think we did that playing with cousins, neighbors kids, and siblings, before we even went to school.

[GailA]

NICE.
