    Do courts always find the truth? Is the judiciary above reproach?

    When everything the American people believe is false, we will know the success of our misinformation efforts.

    Another head shaking comment.
    Rational thinkers know how to work around lies.

    At my daughter's school - and I believe this is typical for the vast majority on-campus armed response programs - volunteers are vetted extensively. They all submit to criminal background checks & psych evals. At my daughter's school, they undergo 2 of the latter. One by a shrink who works for the supervising Sheriff's Dept, and another by the school shrink with no connection to law enforcement. Those who clear those initial hurdles may still not make the cut. One of my daughter's colleagues washed out when the live fire CQC training persuaded him he wasn't cut out for it.

    In this case, it seems you have failed in that regard. If you actually believe SH narrative is true and accurate, you have bought into yet another government lie.

    Your example is complete nonsense since it was people with guns who stopped the shooter. They may have been incompetent in doing so, but people with guns are still what stopped the shooter.

    And even if you're under some delusional opinion that your example is valid here.....it's ONE EXAMPLE and it PROVES nothing.

    Facts win this argument, not your feelings.

    Well, duh...investigate the hours and days and months that law enforcement is mandated for training.
    And the solution, giving educators a license to carry a weapon with minimal training is the fix all.
    It is nothing putting a band-aid to try and cure the illness.
    Please, continue to ignore the real cancer.

    Do not ever think that spreading the lies and propaganda surrounding said event will ever become reality.
    What has failed is your propaganda!

    NO, they stood by because they didn't want to get killed. You act as tho having a gun is some SHIELD against other guns, and its not. The police will NOT put themselves in harms way unless they are fully protected, and a gun is not a shield.

    If the gun was the answer, they would have charged the room and saved those CHILDRENS lives, instead, they knew that they could be hurt/killed so they waited until they would could "safely extract the children" (per the police reports).

    Tell that to Ruben Ruiz. Ye gods, I've never before encountered such an apologist for cowardice.

    What "facts" ?

    The FACT that officers, WITH GUNS, spent 2 hours before doing anything, while 21 CHILDREN were being killed literally obliterates your gun argument. Not only did they have guns, but that had 200 guns vs 1 gun, and still more children were killed after they arrived att the school.

    A GUN didnt protect anyone, A GUN KILLED those children, even when there were 199 MORE guns on the good guys side. Stop claiming that the good guy with a gun is the savior when we have a real life example where 200 guns failed to save those children

    You make a good case for arming teachers. The police have no obligation to put themselves in danger to save you. Killers seek gun free zones for a reason. Do you know why mass killers don’t target police state or gun stores!

    AGAIN, you want guns in a CLASSROOM......

    You always claim its the gun, and Uvalde literally proves that the gun doesn't save anyone. Say they had 25 teachers in that school, thats 25 vs 1.

    Yet at Uvalde there were 376 guns vs 1, and the 1 still killed for an hour after those 376 were in the building.

    So lets debate THAT. Please explain why 376 couldn't stop 1 for over 2 hours

    Absolutely. Tennessee makes 34 states that have approved armed faculty and staff, and hundreds of schools nationwide - including my daughter's - have pulled the trigger (pun intended). In your opinion, why haven't any of those schools been targeted by homicidal dou¢hebags?

    Like I said, despite their incompetence, it was still PEOPLE WITH GUNS who stopped the killer. People without guns didn't stop the mass shooter now did they?

    And STOP acting like this ONE story proves anything. It proves nothing, it actually further proves MY POINT, not yours. That even incompetent people with guns are what it took to stop a mass shooter.

    You don't even have a point to make here. You're trying to use a story that PROVES YOU WRONG as your argument.

    People with guns are needed to stop other people with guns. That is a FACT that even UVALDE demonstrates.

    You can cry all you want about how incompetent they were, which is all true, but it has NOTHING to do with the point that you're trying to make, in fact it further proves MY POINT....which is still correct, that it takes people with guns to stop other people with guns. You can't prove it wrong because it's true. Get over it.

    This is probably a good thing the more schools harden up the less likely they'll be targeted by mass shooters.

    Well training is required so that's a check. And the only reason you'd ever have clips is if you haven't revolver why would you want to limit someone to 18 rounds in a revolver so they're disadvantaged?

    why wouldn't you think teachers are interested in shooting and carrying guns? My spouse is a teacher, he has colleagues and once they got wind that I did some training as a teacher for firearms by all the sudden had a bunch of teachers that wanted to know about guns.

    So called the nuts or people that have an interest in self-defense come from all walks of life it is the US
    who?
