You Had Me Until Pray....
01/26/18 at 14:55:14

http://www.yahoo.com/news/kentucky-shooting-suspect-ordered-held-035727084.html

The Governor of Kentucky brought up some great points:

Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin called on Americans Friday to "wake up" and recognize that school shootings are a "cultural problem."

"We have become desensitized to death, we have become desensitized to killing, we have become desensitized to empathy for our fellow man and it's coming at an extraordinary price and we have got to look at the root causes of this," Bevin told The Associated Press.

But then....

The governor declared a statewide day of prayer Sunday for the grief-stricken county. It was reminiscent of his response to a wave of urban gun violence last year. Bevin called then on the power of prayer to help combat Louisville's rising murder rate, and urged people to form prayer groups to walk high-crime neighborhoods. Skeptics wondered aloud whether that would deter gun-wielding thugs.

Enough of the payer - it's obviously not working.

(they're almost all in red states... just sayin')

Action, not prayer, needs to happen. Just look at the gun laws in KY - kind of a joke.

Yeah, this country needs to wake the F up.

"There are people who do not understand and do not believe in the things we're talking about right now," he said. "And there will be all the social media trolls and people that will scorn and mock and will ridicule the fact that we would call out to our creator at a time like this."

So, what do you think will happen? pray, sing, pray, sing... repeat?
No time spent discussing the issue? or just shout at each other "hands up, don't shoot"?

I hear you pleading for a solution, but not offering one.
At this point, I can only think of 1 solution but it would only limit the carnage, not eliminate entirely.
School shootings (by students) are mainly due to unsecured weapons.
All weapons not in possession of the registered owner should be locked away.

I’m with JOG.
The major obstacle to overcome, is the, PC mantra.

Most schools have already identified who, in their school, is pro and anti gun.
and as long as the pro gun people, tow the line, do not rock the boat, are not vocal about that ‘right’, they will be tolerated.
As soon as they, stand up, (and their are many of them), they will be punished, demoted, and even fired.

If that attitude is dismissed, then.
Select staff who are, honest, stable, Citizens, to arm themselves.
Encourage them to take a class/s to further their knowledge.
That will protect from a immediate threat.

Now Move to preemptive.
Instead of staffed, Metal sensors at every door.
(Which will soon be thwarted by cleaver kids that want to)
Return to a, ‘Before PC’.
Identify, mentally deranged people, and deal with it.

Now to: “…funded by?…”.
Well the firearm, will be ‘funded’ by the person that already OWNS it.
Then the on going ‘carry’ Classes, can be ‘funded’ by, using the same funds, that were used for classes in, ‘under water basket weaving’.

And finally, remove, the mandate:
“… no Guns in Schools…”
Then the ‘Crazy’, or, ’Terrorist’, will KNOW,
It’s NOT, like shooting fish in a barrel.

Ben Franklin once said: "If you give up a freedom, for the sake of security, you will have neither".
Which is More TRUE, today, than yesterday.('06, S-40, Stock) well, mostly .

Reply #7 - 01/27/18 at 10:44:12 Raise your hand if you believe the schools where rich kids go are unsafe. If you don't believe that armed people are there, sound off. How many people who we pay in dc want you disarmed and They have armed guards? Mr.and Mrs. America, turn them all in. Or did you conveniently forget?
