    Politifact rates false senator Cruz's claim that armed guard is the most effective tool to prevent school shootings.  But no scientific evidences show guards prevent mass shooters from targeting schools.  Study from American medical association found schools with guards are 3 times more likely to be at risk than schools without guards.

    Uvalde mass shooter owned two AR15 type assault rifles, he carried seven 30 rounds magazines (mags) in killing 19 children and two teachers. 

    The Uvalde shooter had equipped LEGALLY, yes legally, as the same quantity as seven 30 rounds of mags a U.S. soldier will carry, two more mags than an Australia or German soldier carries*. 18 years old street kid legally buys and owns same fire power as a U.S. solider, only in America, it only happens in America.

    Well, he didn't really have military grade ammo but neither here nor there. The point is taken.

    These numb nuts walk into a class and say, "Call out if you need help!" A kid calls out and that son of a bitch shoots the kid. A good guy with a gun my ass.

    Hyper-negative??? Not at all, it's called the truth. 

    In 2020, African Americans were gunned down at a rate of 26.6 per 100,000 while White Americans saw just 2.2 per 100,000. 

    Whites comprise 60.1% of the 2019 population yet only 21% of homicides by gun.

    African-Americans comprise 12.2% of the population and account for 62% of gun deaths. 

    A sad fact no politician will address because they would be called " hyper-negative racists".

    Hyper-negative??? Not at all, it's called the truth. 

    In 2020, African Americans were gunned down at a rate of 26.6 per 100,000 while White Americans saw just 2.2 per 100,000. 

    Whites comprise 60.1% of the 2019 population yet only 21% of homicides by gun.

    African-Americans comprise 12.2% of the population and account for 62% of gun deaths. 

    A sad fact no politician will address because they would be called " hyper-negative racists".

    There is so much conflicting information right now one can only speculate. It is now said the gunman shot at the school from outside for 12 minutes and then walked through an unlocked back door and then into a classroom. Can see why police arriving did not storm the building. That would likely result in more deaths. Seems they treated it as a hostage situation. And it may have been for awhile, we don't know yet. Maybe the killer held hostages and then later freaked out?

    Read now the killer opened fire the moment he walked in. Those kids were dead before police even arrived it appears. How horrific.

    Doesn't sound like a hostage situation. It sounds like an active shooter situation, involving children. Sounds like police were afraid to risk their own lives to save children, which is literally their job.

    Firemen don't always go charging into a burning building. They have to think about the integrity of s structure. Sometimes they have to knock hole in the building to vent first. And sadly, sometimes they have to stand down and let people die. This is another level though. Many love to talk that, "Good guy with a gun..." bullshit. Many of us think the answer is arming overworked, untrained teachers, making 25K a year. Many of us want to turn elementary schools into prisons, complete with bars and armed guards. Yet her we have many "good guys with guns," trained officers of the law, and they let this kid rampage. They will say it was to mitigate the loss of life. And they'd be telling the truth. The loss of their own lives. Not these kids. Did a "good guy with a gun" even stop this kid or did he kill himself?

    And make no mistake. I'm a gun enthusiast, and former member of the NRA. We need gun law reform. Nothing drastic. I don't want magazine limitations. I don't want the end of gun shows. I love gun shows. We just need comprehensive background checks, including checking social media posts, and character references, and some semblance of psych evaluation.

    Police Departments have been weakened by progressives 

    Now all of a sudden progressives are crying that there weren’t 10 alpha male navy seal like officers ready throw their lives in the barrel to charge in and save the kids and show off their (“toxic”) masculinity

    Your right,once you hear him shooting the weapon in the school,how do they figure that it's a hostage situation.I gotta be honest Stu i don't know much about gun shows besides what I read,but isn't there a way around background checks if you purchase a firearm at a gun show?

    I’m sure they’re well compensated compared to the cost of living in their area.

    Average teacher makes $58,000 in Uvalde. 

    Median household income in Uvalde is $41,000. 

    They’re basically rich. 

    Fuck teachers and their unions. They’re a drain on tax payers and nearly every municipality’s budget. 

    I think I had one decent teacher and I went to private schools in Massachusetts. Judging by most of the posts here it’s easy to see that your teachers all sucked too.

    Did progressives cut the balls off these cops,so they wouldn't try and help these kids?So now your republican theory of 1 good guy with a gun,actually turns into "10 alpha male navy seal like officers",when all the good guys with guns happen to be waiting in the parking lot.

    Who do you think is stopping a bad guy, in an active shooter situation, with a gun? 

    An unarmed drama club pedophile waving a wig? 


    Please tell me who you think is going to stop an active shooter without a gun.

    Oh I ain't disputing that,I'm saying if we didn't give the right for an 18 year old to have these kind of weapons,we don't have to worry if the good guy with the gun,has the balls to try and save the kids.How come other countries don't need the good guy with a gun,to save their kids from getting shot in school.

    The fantasy world that you have created for yourself has brought you very out of touch with the real world.   The one 'decent' teacher you had probably was the one that let you coast while the others actually tried to make you learn and do something.   Unfortunately we have to deal with the end result of their failures.

    @BWS77

     

     He actually gave away tons of info about his upbringing in that post. Which you can kinda see lines up with his viewpoints/opinions

     

    Private schools means he was raised in a fairly well-off house hold, potentially rich house hold. And you can draw tons more from the post but we don't need to go to far into detail
