We’re the Only Ones Schooling Enough

West Virginia Senate OKs bill to allow veterans, retired police to provide armed security in schools [More]

It’s still way too “Only Oneish” for me. Character and judgment don’t change just because you cross an artificial prioerty line, and killers won’t care anyway.

I suppose you could argue it’s an incremental improvement, but when we saw cops get nationwide carry recogniton with LEOSA, how many made inviting those of us footing the bill to sit at their table a priority?

The March of Folly

Leaders of March For Our Lives Iowa led a crowd of about 300 students, activists, lawmakers and supporters in chants of “no more silence, end gun violence” and “enough is enough” that echoed through the Iowa Capitol rotunda Monday afternoon. [More]

Out of half-a-million students that’s all? How many were adults and how many were idiot children of idiot Democrats?

Of course this is shameless exploitation. What else would we expect from the Des Moines Register (Part of the USA Today network/a Gannett Publication)?

Perry High School Shooting

Active shooting confirmed at Iowa high school on the first day after winter break [More]

NBC News made sure to tie it in with “the Iowa caucuses, which will kick off the 2024 presidential Republican primary process.”

And yes, of course:

This is new and breaking. Check back here for updates.

UPDATES

  • Waiting on live newscast from authorities to begin…
  • Sheriff gave limited details. Police arrived within seven minutes. The situation is over. They can’t yet say how many inuries but there were “multiple.” They know who the shooter was but aren’t saying yet. They’ll be giving an update this afternoon. They said the White House is monitoring the situation (can’t let a crisis go to waste), and they made a point of quoting blood dancer Kris Brown of Brady.
  • CNN reports “The shooter in the Perry High school shooting is dead, according to law enforcement official.”
  • [UPDATE: SHOOTER TIKTOK HAD PRIDE FLAG]
  • Look what “Iowa armed teachers” turns up. Some of the links say the problem is finding an insurance carrier, which the legislature has the power to fix if the companies want to do business in the state.

We’re the Only Ones P!$$ed Enough

The security officer told police that around 10:50 a.m., she accidentally left her handgun in a stall in a girl’s restroom. She said she did not realize her gun was missing until over an hour later. [More]

Who does she think she is? Michael Byrd…?

And lest you think we’re only talking about a few bad crapples…

UNLV Shootings Highlight Futility of Life-Endangering College ‘Gun Control’

So, what else could the “terrified students and professors” do besides “cower”? [More]

“Run, Hide, Fight,” the armed SECOND responders advise. What if you can’t outrun a bullet, can’t keep the monster from finding you, and can’t get close enough to attack back with a fire extinguisher or chair?

UNLV Shootings Prove It’s Time for Gun Law Changes

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James offered a harsh criticism of gun laws in the United States in the wake of the deadly shooting at a college in Las Vegas… [More]

I agree. If only they were changed to where posession couldn’t be denied:

PROHIBITED CONDUCT… N. Without prior written authorization from the President or his/her designee, possessing, storing, controlling, or using a functioning or nonfunctioning firearm…

Say what you will, but when it comes to basketball players and crime, they do have more experience than most.

The False Authority Fallacy in Action

Greg Casar Asks Principal If Giving Teachers Guns Would’ve Stopped Marjory Stoneman Douglas Shooting [Watch]

Change “principal” to “cowardly anti-gun liar and Democrat apparatchik,” and you can guess what he’ll say. Meaning he is absolutely unqualified to offer subject matter expertise on anything but being useless to himself and everyone entrusted to his care in such a situation.
