Similar situation happened with the Parkland shooting. So it definitely won't be an issue finding good security for 90,000 schools. 

What if they replaced the guards they have now with guys who have ptsd ? Big ideas to consider.

They simply need to increase the towns police budget so it consumes 60% of the budget instead of 40%

Moat needs sharks with lasers.  Or replace the guards with robots.

Plenty of people will volunteer.

That picture reminded of when Blarg was going to handle the riots in Portland but was too busy.

I just got off the firing range up here in Montana honing my skills. Unfortunately we don't have time to stop by Portland to fix that clusterfuck.

Or guys who were "retired" from the police with full pension for shooting unarmed Black men.

Wow, the Republicans are apparently really gonna try to push this "one door"/reduced doors solution, huh?  Crazy.

 

Yep, this is gonna be his thing.  Here's another mention of an "unlocked back door":

Ted Cruz is such a fucking worm.  And that rep they have for this town might be even worse.

He’s such a bad ass he reported my post this morning.  That’s a true American hero.

I think we need to have a real discussion about why (mostly) white guys feel the need to be armed.  All little dick jokes aside, how fucked up is an existence where you need to bring a gun every time you go buy bananas?  The act itself has to just poison the psyche of the gun wearer.  For a person with obvious self-esteem issues the act of arming oneself constantly has to have a contradictory effect from a feeling of safety and self-worth.  Rather it’s a reminder, a false reminder, that this trip to Albertsons is not safe.  That has to fuck a person up even if they’re not aware of the damage.

They should ask him what happened with his fucking twink son.  Who’s just as loony but doesn’t have brain damage from playing football.

My father carried his whole life - mainly due to a fear of black people. My wife and I went to the grocery store with him once when I visited him in Florida. I'm not sure that she believed me when I told her how extreme that he was when it came to that. He told us, "Don't get very far away from me", because the 70 year old black woman on the drink aisle was going to throw down that two liter bottle of Sprite and kill whitey, just because.

My sister said that he once got incredibly pissed at her because she asked him to leave the handgun in the car at Toys R Us.

I’m not one to go off on how they didn’t charge in to engage the shooter because frankly I wouldn’t do it either.  But I think maybe people should stop pretending these guys are the answer to everything.  Maybe spend more money on social workers or something.

Dude, more guns are the only answer. Just roll with it.

To me that’s sad.  And he didn’t have to be that way.  Like most things people do he probably got it from listening to fucked up people that couldn’t give 2 shits about him.

Also, maybe, just having a gun doesn’t make you tough.  When faced with real threats of injury do we think our AW brute squad would rush in? Or panic and find excuses?

And again, all we are doing is venting.  All anyone can do is vent. If Sandy Hook didn’t alter our national course on this issue, nothing will.  At this point it’s fingers crossed your kid’s school doesn’t get shot up.  Fingers crossed your church doesn’t get shot up.  Fingers crossed you aren’t buying groceries and the lights go out forever.  

Men, usually less than average intelligence, but not always, and usually white, but not always, and always with self-esteem issues need their security blanket.  So fingers crossed it isn’t you or your family.  Their right to be cowards is stronger than your right not to get blown away.

Apparently they’ve reposted like 25 of these same ones they’ve done I’ve the last decade.

I'd rather look at this from the angle of securing the school. The answer, at least to me, is absolutely not to have an all out gun battle on the school grounds. I don't have a solution in front of me but if this was a priority for people who all work in secure areas and send their kids to secure private schools (Hint: it's not) then I'm sure we'd come up with something better than sending a glorified security guard in to shoot it out with a lunatic while our kids hide under the desk.

It doesn’t matter because then so and so would remember he’s the dumbest one in his family, but gun control has worked.  I assume all the low self-esteem guys just leaned to knit or some shit.
