They've been doing it for a while now anyways. While I do support this, I'd like to see more training. More training than the Military. What makes this hard to swallow, it that you have 1 active shooter, and 100-200 ankle biters running rampant ... you almost have to be a sharp shooter to hit your target. Then you have to be aware of what's behind the target. I can't see this scenario being to the teachers advantage that much. A better idea would be to hire trained security.

I would be more inclined to go to the root of the problem but that would require gun and ammo regulations.

Had to look it up. Mine is an ordinary liner lock type. The alloy (ATS-6?) is a tough chewy beast on the stones.

My impossible dream knife is a Carter FS1. This one has a handle that is dog butt ugly. But I have kitchen knives in blue steel (hand forged by grumpy old Japanese guys), and they take an edge so much better than stainless.

@cannabineer ... Here's a perfect example to your response. I have guns just about anywhere within reach. I train when the weather is nice, and I have plenty of that caliber of ammo. But one day, me and the Mrs. were coming back from out of town, and she needed to stop at the Dollar Store for something. I waited in the car for her. This truck pulls up beside me (pass side) gets out like he's going in the store and suddenly, he's in my front pass seat.... I wasn't ready. I had a gun in the console, but it happened so fast. ... Im ashamed to say I locked up. He looked at me and said "sorry, I thought this was my brothers car"... I just said "That's a good way to get shot". You almost have to have your head on a swivel ... which is no way to live. It all happened in about 7 seconds.

If you had more majority rule in America, do you think there would be sensible gun laws and a government strategy to reduce their numbers? 70%+ people support sensible gun laws, but the question is what is sensible and can that evolve over time. Just liability insurance on gun owners and sellers would slow it down a lot with a few simple changes to federal law. Make it like owning a car, some kinds of cars you can't own, in many places there are HP limits and they have to meet standards. You have a driver' license that proves you are competent and fucking sane, register your car with plates and are required to have insurance to drive it on the road, nobody loses their fucking minds over it and ya need a car!

We have guns in Canada, we still have occasional mass shootings, using illegal American smuggled guns for the most part, but the gun violence and homicide rate is a fraction of the American per capita rate. We are more relaxed and laid back (I'm not a good example :lol: ), not as paranoid, to us it seems like being in a prison, the first thing ya do is try to make a shive outta yer toothbrush for self-defense!

Up until the 70's-gun ownership rates were comparable, but then began to diverge after the government responded to mass shootings with restrictions on handguns and mag capacity for long guns, 5 rounds max. Handguns are hard to get, it requires a chat with a Mountie and self-defense is not a valid reason, being a target shooter or a collector is though, all guns must be properly stored and secured and buying a gun or ammo requires an FAC, Fire Arms Aquisition Certificate.

why ask them to do that? why not hire real guards? why not get rid of the bought off politicians who allow the gun industry to flood the market with advertising that scares the fuck out of people to get them to buy more guns...the statistics on which are then used by the same fucking corrupt industry to scare more people into buying more fucking guns...

I’m not asking them to do that. It interferes with the teacher job. I think I made it pretty clear that I consider it, or trained security present, a bad idea. Keep guns out of schools, period.

specifically Federal ones. We have a “states’ rights” culture standing in the way, and it is a darling of Republicans.

all states should be required to follow the same federal guidelines, to simplify and streamline the laws, and people's understanding of them. they have way too much independence now, and it's causing nothing but trouble and confusion, and dissension..

which is the intent of the small-gov’t crowd. It lowers their overhead when pursuing minority-rule advantage.

Let's wait until the new year to see about Trump's future, I think he will be in prison and so do the experts and even republicans know it, and some are counting on it. When Donald is tucked away and muzzled, they will try to put lipstick on the pig.

If Garland wants to destroy the GOP, then he'll let Donald run around loose and if he goes to prison or house arrest and he doesn't muzzle him, he will still run the GOP house and destroy all challengers.


Where will the Republicans go from here? Interview with Rick Wilson | DW News

2,096 views Nov 18, 2022
Rick Wilson is co-Founder of the Lincoln Project, which was started to defeat Donald Trump in the 2016 elections. The former member of the Republican Party is convinced that Donald Trump still has a strong enough support base to be the next Republican Presidential candidate. Wilson tells DW’s Ines Pohl that Trump with his “animal sense of weakness” is able to destroy possible opponents like Ron DeSantis and Glenn Youngkin. He has no doubts that the Republican Party will fall back to support him the moment he gains momentum

Turkeys and food prices in general are up all over the globe, Putin and corporate greed are the cause and lack of ability to regulate them or tax them. That problem was caused by decades of lobbying, and they too feel above the law, or their lobbyist help write it, above taxes too, because the most profitable of them pay none, lobbying and bribes. In the EU inflation is less, because of regulation, the UK's inflation rate in nearly double that of France and America's is higher still. I include Canada too, because most of our groceries come from America or American controlled companies and there is a free market between us.

I'm sure tax breaks for billionaires and less regulation will solve the problems, ya don't need no guberment when ya got them thar international corporations to take care of ya! As long as it triggers the libs, they are all for offering an unconditional surrender to Putin now that he's on the ropes and investigating Hunter, who really should move to Canada for a spell until it all dies down.
