I don’t understand the bickering. Yes the left will use this, just as much as the right would have if this was a undocumented immigrant. We are not politicians we don’t get paid to push idiocy. So why do we do it? Like TVC said if someone really wants to pull this off they will gun or no gun armed teachers or not. forget political favoritism. These are kids we are talking about. And Our elected officials will shout out agenda driven talking points. We deserve better as a nation.

And how many laws & new regulations were passed because of 9/11? It's almost like something changed and we haven't had another 9/11 since.

Just for my knowledge. Can you tell me your opinion on what's the end goal for Republicans?

Obviously this was the act of one mentally deranged person.... The blame lies there. Having said all of that, gun owners need to be more responsible. I literally got all of mine out of the house when my boys were teenagers. We had a few instances that caused me just enough concern that I didn't want to live with myself if they did something stupid/harmful to themselves or anybody else. Keep them locked up. Don't sell a gun to anybody that you don't know. Buying a gun is a life-long commitment... If individual sellers did a better job of a)locking up their firearms and b)not selling them to people that they don't know, we'd all be in a better place. I predict that we're going to see where this kid had tons and tons of warning signs, but his family just ignored them. At least that's what it seems like in most of these cases. I was all for prosecuting the parents of that last kid (in florida, I think) that shot up his school after his "cool" parents gave him a gun. Or the guy that shot Dimebag after his mom got him a pistol to celebrate him doing a good job of taking his anti-psychotic meds. The second amendment isn't just a right... it's a responsibility.

Pure evil. This can not be prevented but it can potentially be deterred with preventative measures.

I am far from an expert in law enforcement or active shooter safety protocols, but common sense tells me that rule #1 should be for the officers to stop a potential threat from entering the school at all costs if they are in position to do so. All the accounts I've read say that the officers engaged with the shooter outside of the school, but he was somehow still able to go inside and kill all those kids after the confrontation.

The problem is this... your online posting about abortion, climate change, election results, or reparations could also be considered in whether or not you get to own a firearm depending on who's in power at the moment.

I wouldn't argue with a gun safety class but it will not stop these animals from doing this.

I completely agree with armed teachers if they are willing. But….. Twenty armed police on campus can’t stop a person that has time to plan. It was not an elementary school but the deadliest school shooting in US history (not the most in a mass murder which was not with firearms) was Virginia Tech. They had their own police department which responded within moments. The attacker, since he had time to plan, eliminated the threat of the police for long enough to do his killing. The fix was about $5 worth of chain and a padlock. And what weapons? AR15? AK47? No, a .22 pistol and a 9mm with the.22 being little more than a tiny bullet generally used to target practice. Harden the schools, arm the teachers but realize you cannot stop a dedicated attacker who can choose the time, location, means, etc. Unless you take away all guns, you cannot stop shootings, period. Even if you could, you couldn’t stop a mass murder, only the means.

You can’t legislate the hate in an individual’s heart. It’s a heart problem, not a gun problem. There’s armed Air Marshals on flights, we need armed school teachers in our schools. Teachers should be given that freedom to arm themselves. If teachers don’t want arm themselves they should be given that freedom too.

Prayers to the families.

He should have suffered too,1 fingernail at a time…he’s a disgusting mess that deserves some of what he dished!

The left seems to be going straight to gun control and passing laws before letting the parents mourn. I hope I’m wrong but it’s almost like they didn’t get enough traction on Roe versus Wade, they are going to attempt to capitalize on this tragedy

Hmmm i wonder if we have the same thoughts

Prayers for all involved, except the shooter. God forgive me but I’m glad he’s dead. 🙏🙏🙏✝️✝️✝️🙏🙏🙏 [Hidden Content]

This was truly very sad and heartbreaking all around. My prayers go out to all families involved. I’m glad the shooter was put out of his misery. And on another note, I feel that the Buffalo shooter should’ve gotten blown away as well. He was peaceful taken away…

There is no compromise in my opinion. It certainly isn’t a gun problem. You could attempt to completely confiscate all guns but then the 2A goes out the window. A person or two could kill or maim 100 children in a couple of minutes having never possessed a firearm. We have created a society that is now allowed to create such people. Can you ever put crap back in the horse once it’s out? Crazy people have always been around. Just look at 1927, almost 100 years ago, as an example. The difference is not that it could or hasn’t happened in the past but we have taken the reins off the horse and let him go free.

That would be a nearly impossible task since you would have to find their social media and have them admit that it was theirs. I know as background checks we have checked social media pages but you never know if someone has something hidden under a false identity. To expect at the point of a gun sale to start checking someone’s thousands of posts on maybe a dozen different social media sites, would be an almost impossible task. If assuming that became a standard, people would simply start with a falsified name in that post under their true identity. Maybe while on the way to perpetrate an act they might change to their real identity or something like that but unfortunately, these people aren’t stupid.

That's a fair assessment and honestly not far fetched.

No, it’s the two amendments that most seem threatened. How much of an issue is the right to privacy in your home and entry has to be with your consent or a warrant signed by a magistrate, the right to an attorney or the right not to give a statement? To try to claim otherwise is a straw man argument.

Yes please if you can. I’m not going to be able to make it. Thanks

In this case it seems like the police employed by Uvalde ISD completely forgot their training. I'm having a very difficult time figuring out how the shooter was able to step foot inside the school if he was confronted by multiple members of law enforcement.

He posted on Facebook that he was going to shoot and kill his grandmother - he did He posted he was going to shoot the school - he did Could this have stopped had their been a background on his social media? Could have.

From what I’ve heard they are already short on coached so we will see how it goes.

Which ones are those?

Yeah... i bought a new pistol during the pandemic and I literally told the guy at Academy "I'm going to take my mask down so you can verify that it's me. And I think you should do that with anybody buying a gun." I read that this kid had two AR pistols on him. I very seriously doubt that he bought them in the week that passed since his 18th birthday. It means that he either 1. stole them from an irresponsible gun owner who didn't have them secured. 2. Took them from a parent that felt like he was familiar with safe gun operation and knew the rules... like a lot of y'all keep saying about your kids. 3. Had them given to him by parents whose #1 concern was giving him everything he wanted while turning a blind eye towards possible mental/emotional defects. But "not being so easy to purchase a gun" might not be the answer that all of us are looking for. It's such a grey area.

That’s what I’m saying, he applied at numerous spots in setx. I’m sure he got on somewhere,

"Hot wheels" 🤣

As well as planes? I'm not sure I understand your rebuttal. So you'd agree that putting laws and regulations in place have helped stop planes crashing into buildings because they cannot fly themselves?

😂😂😂🤣🤣👽🤣🤣😂😂😂 Touche, lol.

I find it interesting Allen is not included, nor is Highland Park or Argyle. I would think they are easily more attractive than Mart or Cuero or Judson.

Some form of security at every entrance of the school.. even parking lot Metal detectors Any red flags or rumors of planning this stuff should be taken seriously and not thrown under the rug Arm teachers Just a start

The “one life saved” is a bogus premise.

What's a pen? 🤔

I went back and edited it a couple of minutes after I posted the comment. It was supposed to say I completely agree with arming the teachers. The predicted text feature added “can’t”.

The blame should go to the person pulling the trigger. I was in New York last week and on the way home I was talking with the family about how safe the subway was. Everybody was extremely friendlyThe blame should go to the person pulling the trigger. I was in New York last week and on the way home I was talking with the family about how safe the subway to work. Everyone we met was extremely friendly. A few days ago a person was randomly shot and killed in a subway train unprovoked according to the media. New York is one of the strictest gun law states in the country….more laws are not going to work…..blame the person

You addressed me. If someone else made a comparison then that’s their opinion. Address them. It’s not a far fetched comparison. Innocent life is being taken. So what’s your point? This why your side can’t be taken seriously.

I can’t begin to say how shameful it is to use this tragedy for any political purpose. Everyone should be offering condolences and attempting to help victims. Instead we have some immediately preaching gun control. How heartless. Smdh

an interesting pov of why Morris didn't work out at Allen [Hidden Content]

Really sad,should’ve made him suffer some before plugging him!

When Dallas Madison had to forfeit a championship in 2013 that was around the time the Dallas Madison player was charged with murdering another player in a fight over a game controller. Mobley was coaching Madison then. I am sure the fight/death and the forfeiture were all tied in together.

This right here i could write a whole lot on this matter given what I see and deal with on a daily basis. A huge difference in my childhood vs the last 20-25 years of children. im sure you could as well given your experience. i know exactly how we have gotten to this point but I’m not going to express it here. it’s a terrible feeling to send my kids off to school just like those parents in uvalde knowing something like this could happen all because of some misled teenager……. prayers to all those involved.

My wife just told me one of the adults killed is the grandmother of the shooter. Prayers for the Uvalde Families. I’ll be up there next week with my family on our annual Frio River get away. How heart breaking for those families. Arm Teachers.

"7 years" is the new "Toby" here I guess.

can't never could & won't never will

I don't think he's underrated. I believe that anyone that knows anything about basketball places him very high on their list of best coaches around here for sure. Arguably any area.

Exactly... Seeing @KF89 step up for baseball season makes me wish I had more time to do the same. Maybe those of us who can, should attempt to do our own school. I'll reach out to our new staff and put together a preview for my WOS Mustangs next week. It's worth a try.

I think it was like a 3 way tie wasn’t it? I think I remember a multiple play in type scenario. Kountze was really YOUNG and is on the verge of having something special, EC graduated 1 player. For this hire to make Buna the favorite it would have to be a tremendous upgrade which I don’t know much about coach Wilson . Whitmire was good one but the guys in EC and Kountze are special.

Hancocks at united west at Kountze I’m sure silsbee has some good assistants Who is the jv coach in buna ?
