    Cop’s first priority is themselves. If it’s convenient, they might help others.

    Sounds like the guns weren’t in the schools. They were out. Your implying that had they been in the school, we wouldn’t have had the same level of tragedy.

    Cops refuse to show up on my methhead neighbors - they have weapons. But when my (then) husband wanted to evict my little unarmed 5’3” butt from the house I’d lived in for the past seven years, after physically beating me to the point I wasn’t really cogent, they sent a whole riot squad to pick me up.

        Disingenuous aren’t productive, and only server to divide things further.

        They aren’t talking about arming some who comes to shoot up the school. They’re wanting to allow (trained) teachers to be able to defend themselves and their students when someone bad comes shooting. Currently they’re defenseless outside of boarding up their doors.

    “Final proof that more guns in you schools will not keep our kids safe” - wasn’t the problem that the guns weren’t in the school, rather they were standing in front of it?

      Tased only applies if there is a camera on you and you are white.

        It’s referencing parents who wanted to go in themselves to save their own children. I can’t imagine how horrifying it must b to be stopped by police. Police are the worst

          I am aware. Ulvade was police playing nice with the public while being cowards. ACAB has a wider remit.

            Uvalde was the police know full fucking well how dangerous assault rifles, and guns in general are. They noped the fuck out when children were being murdered, because they were afraid.

              Tbf then there’s other people, like that one dude in France that went in and singlehandedly killed like 8 terrorists with hostages with guns with but a mere AR of his own. Or the church in texas, where the paritioner took a 45yd shot with his glock on a guy armed with a shotgun.

              In reality, who has the bigger gun matters much less than who can get shots on target quicker. These cops can hide behind the “well he had a scary rifle” all they want to, we all know it’s simply their cowardice and failure to act accordingly and follow their own procedures (which they had recently trained on and utterly ignored when push came to shove.)

              Why are they so scared of guns? Do they think they were made to kill people or something?

    Maybe by more guns in school, they meant the kids should carry the guns.

    1. Kids buy gun
    2. Take guns to class with them
    3. Gun industry profits
    4. ??? 🤷‍♀️
    5. World peace

    Right now if the police force didn’t get their badges from a cracker jack box the procedure is pretty simple. You go in and shoot any one with a gun that’s not an officer. You start arming citizens in the school and it is more difficult. These guys can’t handle more difficult they are still trying to figure out what end of the paper bag let’s them out.

    This tradegy and the handling of it makes me so fucking mad. I feel so unreasonably pissed this is part of the world we created.

    I wish I had an outlet.

    Unironically, if we had 376 armed drag queens and furries instead, not nearly as many children would have died.

      I feel like the armed drag queens would have absolutely handled the situation expediently. Most I know adore children and have to be brave by default to publicly go against society in such a typically colorful fashion.

    All this proves is that my children get a better education and better protection from their mother than government.
