Sad... so sad

[FarmerJamie]

My cousin is elementary school teacher who is one of the designated carry individuals. He prays he never is faced with situation, but is ready.

A number of years ago, there was a school shooting about 40 minutes away. My kids were still in school. I was so proud of them as we talked through this. All three said they would feel guilty if they ran and didn't protect their friends. Their mom ranted and raved at them. Had a really long talk in private with my son about being smart and being prudent, but not being a coward. After that convo, he was no longer that "little man" to me

we are all preaching to the choir. The people who SHOULD be listening have wax in their ears and mud in their brains.

Mud for brains - can I reuse that?

I was an elementary school teacher, and I wished they would allow that. There were several of us who were ready to volunteer if the laws changed.

And they have an agenda to dis-arm us all.

“On April 20, 2018, school children around the country in public and private schools will be signed out and walk out at 11:00 am Colorado time, and march to mayors’ offices, governors’ offices, the White House, local NRA offices, Mar-a-Lago, campaign offices, etc. Enough is enough. And saying “enough is enough” is getting old. Not one more student should die by gun violence."

This shooter was reported to the FBI 6 weeks before the shooting in a very detailed and long phone call to the FBI tip line. And the FBI did nothing.

That's because it's sexier and more exciting to respond to a shooting than to quietly bring someone in.

Their arguments don't hold water. Two big problems... Criminals don't follow laws & guns don't shoot people. Nut jobs with guns do.

I've been following the same... But sad to say nothing much surprises me anymore. HIPAA (medical records are protected). So how do you know if someone is a nut job or not?

And since everyone has their "rights" no one can be committed until they do something heinous.
