Faculty / Administrator Safety Training & Emergency Response (FASTER)

Taken for Granted

Ohio officials are reminding educational, religious and nonprofit institutions across the state to consider a range of safety-related resources and funding opportunities. [More]

No, of course the one thing that will work isn’t included.

We’re the Only Ones Distinguished Enough

Trump suggests ‘distinguished’ ex-military teachers could carry weapons at schools [More]

So… a new category of “Only Ones“…?

That’s not a FASTER requirement, and the program’s been working great.

It’s not a 2A requirement, either.

I gotta get this serial administration cheerleader some pom poms.

Related UPDATE

Fortunately, there’s a Constitutional alternative:

H.R. 5066: Safe Students Act – To repeal the Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1990 and amendments to that Act.

If at first you don’t succeed…

Unfortunately:

Prognosis 1% chance of being enacted

That and the guy floating unequal protection calls Massie “a third-rate Grandstander” (as opposed, I suppose, to a first-rate one?) and wants him out.

Survey SAYS…

Most Californians Want More Guns in Schools—Poll [More]

No, they want more “Only Ones.”

There’s a difference.

Mention FASTER and most will knee-jerk freak.

Four legs good. Two legs bad.

She Lies Because She Knows She Can Get Away With It

Harris looked at the AFT audience and said, “While you try to create safe and welcoming places where our children can learn, extremists attack our freedom to live safe from gun violence. They have the nerve to tell teachers to strap on a gun in the classroom.” [More]

Don’t look for her to ever be publicly confronted with the truth.

HOW THINGS WORK AROUND HERE

Satisfaction Guaranteed

Anyone not happy with anything on this site at any time will get 100% of all money they paid to me refunded, no questions asked. (No gratuities solicited or accepted.)

Comment House Rules

Keep them on topic. Trying to hijack threads really grinds my gears. No spam.
I moderate them so I’ll get to them when I can.
No threats against anyone except me. No fights–this is my place and if things get ugly, I treat unruly visitors the same way as I would in my home. Do not feed trolls–I’ll take out the trash.
Try to keep it clean.
I’m the final arbiter. If you don’t like the rules, start your own damn blog.

WarOnGuns Correspondents

Story tips received via email and social media messages will be credited. Just let me know how you want to be recognized (real name, first name/last initial, or screen name.)

Link Policy

I maintained a WogRoll at the old Blogspot place predicated on reciprocity with like-minded RKBA-related sites. Truth be told, I never got much in terms of site visits to make the effort worth the time. I may try to do something again in the future, but for now, my hands are more than full trying to get a new site started.

Advertising Disclosure

This is a placeholder for now because I have not done ads on the old blog for years. In case I ever start them up here, this will be the policy in effect: The FTC has some fool nonsense rules about ads on blogs or some such and presumes authority over the First Amendment to compel the unfunded mandate that we who earn ad revenues make some kind of disclosure so you don’t think we’re getting paid to say nice things about people or God knows what, meaning they must think you’re stupid, too. I have had a few ads on the old site in the past and may do so again if I think it’s worth a try. Combined, I probably couldn’t buy a box of good cigars each year, let alone a bottle of George T. Stagg, and that is somehow supposed to compromise my morality to force me to say nice things about products and services I don’t mean simply in exchange for filthy lucre. If you believe that, leave now–you’re not smart enough to be here. Bottom line, aside from welcoming a sponsor, I will do no posts related to their products or services, or reviews of what they offer without complete disclosure.

About “The Only Ones”

So named from a comment by DEA agent Lee Paige, who told a classroom full of kids he was “the only one” qualified to be armed and then promptly shot himself in the foot, the purpose of this feature has never been to bash cops. The only reason I do this is to amass a credible body of evidence to present when those who would deny our right to keep and bear arms use the argument that only government enforcers are professional and trained enough to do so safely and responsibly. And it’s also used to illustrate when those of official status, rank, or privilege, both in law enforcement and in some other government position, get special breaks not available to we commoners, particularly (but not exclusively) when they’re involved in gun-related incidents.
