    In schools K-12, the mass shooter was a suicidal white male student of the school with a history of trauma. He leaked his premeditated plan before the shooting, and most often used multiple guns stolen from a family member.

    That’s from some big brains study.
    Let’s see if they are right.

    If gun grabbers are consistent they’ll soon be calling for a national ban on all LGBT activists buying, possessing, or owning firearms.


    Interesting that the most current news we are getting has to come from across the pond... :xmad:

    I think the practicality he spoke of was enough armed guards to prevent this. Enough resource officers to prevent isnt practical.

    Having multiple competent armed, trained teachers carrying on body might be.

    And in any circumstance, you just cant prevent these entirely. You can only reduce body count by engaging within a minute or less.

    Sometimes it's a deterent and yes, lowers body count, if ever to 0.

    In other words, he had all the time to kill all the people he felt like killing, and then pop himself.
    Yes, seven minutes until the first responder arrived is a lifetime if you're defenseless. I don't hold it against the police though i'm sure they got there as fast as possible, the only one that really had a chance to stop this was the principal if he'd been armed.

    And that's just it right there. As much as you KNOW they busted their asses getting to the school as fast as they could, the police were still minutes away when every second counted.

    Armed and trained staff is the only realistic way to cut away those minutes, but it just won't happen so long as the school systems are run by antigunners and/or those too terrified of armed incidents to arm their staff.

    Exactly why all of us with kids should be going to every school board meeting. Might be shocking to see the other issues being sneaked through, right under our noses...

    I wonder if this school embraced the LBTQ garbage like other schools have. I mean, who would have thought that encouraging mental illness could lead to issues?

    It’s a tough process and program at my wife’s school system.. they asked her and she declined the offer.. I know one her coworkers went thru the training.. psychology evaluation first.. if passed they went to Ohio to train and it was a 3 day course/class.
    All teachers/administrators had to pass with a higher score than the Ohio state troopers did
    Tough course.. went thru over 1k rounds during drills
