I don’t understand why people continue to argue over gun laws rather than making sure our kids are safe first. We will never convince the idiot’s who the NRA has convinced banning assault rifles is taking thier gun right’s awsy. No one needs an assault rifle! But our children’s saftey has somehow been put on a back burner while we continue to argue over something no one will ever agree on. Where are our priorities as a nation? My child’s school had never done a drill or even talked to them about what to do in an emergency. I am trying to prepare her as best I can. They say drills traumatize them. I don’t want to frighten her to the point I traumatize her but I want her to be prepared. I did tell her to hide and lock herself in, which I will now tell her only as a last resort. I told her if she is running and they are shooting in her direction to zig zag because it is harder to hit someone that way, unless it is slowing her down. if she hides behind a vehicle, hide behind the engine not the rear. I hate that they have to be afraid of this but being afraid of scaring them and not preparing them is just stupid.

I guess is “I Love” hasn’t had the pleasure of being around many of our finest
illegals and refugees.

“Next are the illegals and refugees…”….you had me going and then your mental illness came to light.

I realize at 60, I am old. Raised two boys who are smart, ready and willing to finish the fight. We were considered the dinosaur family when they were young, No cell phones, no computers or tvs in their rooms. Can anyone tell me why anyone 8 years old up “needs” a cell phone, or why they “need” facebook or twitter? Cyberbullying seems easy to stop…DON’T START WITH THAT CRAP!!

Do not put guns in the arms of teachers but armed security who are trained in these situations. Do not place guns in a classroom with children…something will go wrong!

Next – put your child in a self defense / martial arts class and teach them how to think in a crisis…using a weapon other than a gun can thwart a disaster. I am a gun advocate but not for in a classroom. Everyone throwing something at the shooter all at once can disarm him…I have seen it and it works. Yes, someone may get shot, but one or two, not the entire class and they may not be deadly shots, but in the arm or leg.

Last – there is a mentality of this generation that it is all about them…for some reason, they cannot take criticism, they have no social skills (social media is to blame), the part of the brain that can accept the word no without getting angry has not developed due to not bonding with parents…parents put their children in daycare and have nannies and babysitters. Parents are not allowed to discipline their children or their children say they are going to call the police and lie and say you abuse them if you do not give them what they want. Do your children justice and spend time with them from the time they are born and stay off of social media…play games, go for hikes, camp, boat, fish, ski, snow ski, hike in snow shoes, horseback ride, etc etc…bond with your kids and get out of the house. And it is time to allow parents to discipline their children without beating them. And every time a child screams abuse, do detective work and quit assuming they are telling the truth…kids learn to lie very well these days, especially now because of social media.

Mental Health has become a crisis because those who should not be among the general population are, thanks to liberal minded fools. They should be on meds and monitored in a loving home like locked facility. Safe from the streets and we are safe from them.

Next are the illegals and refugees…people take a look at how these people have lived and because of their situation, their brains do not work like someone who has been raised in a civil law abiding environment. These people steal, lie, cheat, kidnap, rape, murder and have no conscience whatsoever about doing this. And these are the people liberal minded fools want around your families. We only hear of school shootings – you do not hear about the rest of these crimes until someone decides it is worth hearing.

How about teachers also having a sign ready to place on outside of door at the first sign of trouble that says “Everyone meets in the cafeteria today, or everyone meets in the library today…or my favorite…Ms./Mr. So and So’s class is on a field trip today to the museum or Aquarium…and then lock the door and turn out the lights. I am sure the whole school cannot get away with this, but it would buy time and save lives.

A child with a black belt or any other type of training is not match for a grown man intent on killing. Run Run Run but telling a child he is prepared to take down a shooter is ridiculous.. My neighbors child is a 3rd degree black belt and has all kinds of martial arts certifications but he is 13 and no match for some one 10 times stronger. I say run run run don’t sit or huddle waiting to be killed.

Um, teaching tolerance and acceptance with open dialogue PREVENTS the bullied kid from BECOMING a shooter. Idiot.”

ROFL really? I had noooo idea it was that simple. What were we thinking!
