That would only work if EVERY teacher is armed.


I do get your point, but if/when it becomes common knowledge that several teachers are, in fact, armed it might well concentrate the minds of would-be kid-killers. The first goal in this situation is to keep the kids safe and that means not letting the killer get in amongst them. Classrooms with locked doors is a low-tech way to keep the bad guy out. While trying to get in, even an unarmed teacher can shout, “I’ve got a gun and I’ll shoot!” At that point, what does he or she have to lose?

But teachers and kids huddled in their classroom should not have to wait over an hour for the threat to be neutralized once the threat is known to the police. If the stories are true that dozens of police were waiting outside the school for ‘backup’ then someone is going to have a lot of explaining to do.

There is also the uncertainty factor. If you’re a gunman and you know you’re not going to meet any resistance you have a different mindset than one who knows there are some armed school personnel in the building, but you don’t who and where they are. It changes the dynamics. Most of these killers are not heroes. They’re cowards that attack unarmed people in gun free zones like schools and shopping malls where they feel pretty secure they aren’t in danger.

11:28 crashed
11:44 first LEOs arrive

The kid got a 26 minute lead on the cops during a 5 mile high speed chase? If they were chasing him they would have been on top of him at 11:29!

Flush, his full name is Iron Jack Roberts and he thinks he's a pirate in the same way you believe you were a Cold warrior in Berlin staring down Soviet tanks.

What's wrong with you Neocons?

I have not seen any confirmation that there was a chase. There was a BOLO alert. After leaving vehicle, he shot at a couple people at a funeral home near the school. They called 911. Seems like that was first confirmation of his location.

Of course, Texas DPS could change the story again.

“I don’t understand how one can think that the trained, armed police all too often can’t handle these situations, but an elementary school teacher can.”

Simple, at least in this case. The teacher is already where the action is happening and his/her own neck is also on the line. The police just waited outside and attacked parents, so the POS had an hour and a half to slaughter children.

But here's the thing....having a CPL is like the rules of "Fight Club"....you don't talk about it. (except here...if you're me, LOL!)

What do the Democrats have that we need, that we would give up our firearms for?

They have nothing. Except the threat of legislation made up out of thin air.
And WE still have the guns. End of subject.

You must be right. That whole 85 mile (or mph chase) was fake news. Wasn’t that from Daily Mail?

Stoneman Douglas High School

Something I just learned about that shooter. He used only ten round magazines in his rifle.
Same for the Virginia Tech shooter.

Yet one of the things the Dems demand is a ten round limit on magazines.

Yeah and the 2 officers arrived and they got shot at. They had to know if they ran he would get inside. I guess one could have dropped to prone and made himself a small target and returned fire. Easy to say when someone is not shooting a AR at you. But I wonder if he knew that door was locked and why was it open. Aren’t those supposed to be locked.

Might not have been exactly fake, just mistaken as apparently fleeing illegals come through Uvalde and put schools in lockdown pretty frequently. The mayor has complained loudly about the open border.

Texas Department Public Safety spokesman Lt. Christopher Olivarez confirmed to a reporter during a live shot that police officers went into Robb Elementary School to get their own children during the massacre.

the minute he put on a dress, he should of been committed to the insane asylum, and then this wouldn’t have happened.
