A Few Questions Not Asked

The executive order addresses the training of law enforcement… [More]

As long as we’re waxing on about valuing the Constitution, providing for the security of a free State, and the Second Amendment and all, how about the militia? Who will have access to school “annual risk and vulnerability assessments”? What due process protections will keep BTAM from morphing into the Department of PreCrime? And I trust there will be appropriate penalties to keep Rave from being used by triggered leftist indoctrinators to report “microaggressions”?

And forgive me if every time I see government promising to deliver something “at no cost” I check to make sure my wallet’s still there. The school or district may not be charged, but the people paying for them certainly will be.

That none of these were raised in this fawning “report” says much.

More Fuel for the Fire!

Self-described ‘antiracism educator’ Tim Wise recently wrote an opinion piece for Politico about the May shooting in Buffalo, New York. In the article, he blames the incident on the purported lack of anti-racism education, a situation for which he blames conservatives. [More]

So they need more?

As opposed to years of bullying brainwashing causing the weaker links to snap and lash out in revenge at the people and places they see as sources of torment?

“Wise,” huh? What’s the opposite of an aptronym?

Speaking of Better Options

“Arming school personnel is a serious decision that is left up entirely to your school. It is optional,” DeWine wrote. [More]

So in spite of all the hoop-de-doo, the great majority will remain “gun-free zones.” So much for “preemption” when you codify a “patchwork quilt.”

This guy never fails to prove himself a weasel trying to play all sides, does he?

Tangentially related, Pursuit of Patriotism wonders about school district liability in mass shootings. I’ve long maintained the failure is not so much one of unthinking negligence as it is outright hostility and deliberate indifference.

Teach Your Children Well

Some people have been negative online, saying, “Why homeschool your kids when they’ll live in isolation and become the next mass shooter?” [More]

And the body of evidence for that is? And cite someone other than Marxist public teachers unions that have failed everyone except themselves, and that will fight tooth and nail against a tax credit that might diminish the slop in their troughs.

So their solution is to send their children to “gun-free” mass shooter assembly lines.

Ask the Expert

“… 21 of these 160 incidents just like this were disrupted and successfully stopped by unarmed individuals…” [Watch]

I got your “run, hide, fight” right here… Funny, how you have to watch to the very end to get this calculated little factoid.

By “just like this” she means the police were unable/unwilling to get to them in time and they were forbidden by law from having the means of effective defense, making it fair to wonder what the outcome might have been and how many lives might have been saved in the other 139 incidents had that not been the case…

Deliberate Indifference

K-12 Carry In Georgia – Declined By School Districts [More]

And it would appear the most that can be expected from “pro-gun lawmakers” is weasel-wording that avoids actually doing anything.

“Do nothing” is a hell of a response to all the antis screaming “Something must be done!”

All the Right Words

Instead of targeting guns and gun owners, Trump called for a “top to bottom security overhaul at schools across the country” in a variety of ways; single-point entries, security fences, metal detectors, a school resource officer in every school, and yes, arming teachers who volunteer, are vetted, and trained. [More]

Beautiful.

Now if he only takes those words to heart if he’s ever in power again.

Am I so wrong to doubt he will?
