ABC News ^ | 2/21/18 | JULIA JACOBO

Broward County sheriff's deputies will now carry AR-15 rifles while on school campuses following the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, last week, Sheriff Scott Israel announced today.

The new policy was implemented Wednesday morning. In lieu of gun lockers, the only time deputies will not be "slinging a rifle" is when the firearm is locked in police vehicles, Israel said.

The rifles will not be fully automatic and will only be handled by deputies who are "trained and qualified" to operate them, Israel said.

I had some butthead slip a submachine gun in my ear at Leorandi Da Vinci airport in the early 80s while sipping a cup of cappuccino

My first thought was not “my don’t I feel all protected?”

Maybe it was the same guy who had a US general's armored Mercedes blown up all to heck when it was illegally parked at the Italian airport. Their EOD team blew open every door, hood, and trunk. The thing was a total mess sitting at the motor pool. Small world. ...

Sounds good in New York, but when you saw it, was it when the city was being run by an adult (Rudy or Bloomberg), or since Delblasio took over?

London - no surprise. The thing is that they’re not fooling anyone. Half of their police force is Muslim (I would guess), and so the status of their guns is no big secret in the ‘sensitive areas’, where all terrorism originates from.

One of my old Marine friends does that gun course where they make you do pistol, rifle and shotgun from a real life scenario.

His knees are shot and they started him in a bunk sleeping... LOL

He said he could barely get them old bones on the ground LOL

He completed the course

Why iot rurn the teachers into armed guards?

Because they're teachers, not armed guards. And if you don't think the students know who among them would and would not shoot, you're the one with stupid dreams.

I always thought it ironic that once I could afford all the kit to shoot competitively I didn’t have the hips, knees, and was down to one lung...

Probably thinks “this’ll show the righties.”

In the meantime the NRA set is like “Cool!”

That is not based on real world experience or reality at all. Where did all the elaborate government solutions only people come from on FR?
