  1. the conservative christian gop is involved in some very lucrative gun sales on both sides of the school shooting situation. maximizing profits even when children are being killed. how very pious.

  2. There are guns all around the world but mass shootings don't happen all around the world. The problem is Americans.

    44 Americans are shot by other Americans each day and America is the ONLY country on Earth that has school shootings.

    American parents protest at school meetings about? A: School shootings B: Masks.

    The US constitution has been amended 27 times and the 2nd amendment is as easy to amend as abortion law.

  3. In this current climate in our country I firmly believe that every school resource officer should have a long gun on their person at all times and that there be at least 3 SR officers per school armed with a long gun.

  4. The police in Uvalde were armed with the most advanced gear, and they STILL wouldn’t go after the shooter for a really long time! What makes you think a gun and armour upgrade would make any difference?!

  5. Uvalde police officers had AR-15 and ballistic shields. They didn’t save the kids at Robb Elementary. It’s just plain cowardice! AR-15 rifles won’t change the outcome.

  6. I agree with the Sheriff it's no different than a unit showing up at the location with a long rifle. It's (sad )that it's come to this at an institution of learning. But it's a different time in this Country.

  7. All guards, police officers, teachers, doctors, nurses, business owners, pastors, church elders, church deacons, citizens, non-citizens and anyone over 23 without a drug, gang, criminal record or warrants should be armed by the government with Assault Rifles and free ammo by law with fines if you don’t have your weapon with you.

  8. No thanks my kids are not going to a school where teachers and staff are armed with guns how do I know that these teachers and staff will not go crazy one day and end up being a mass shooter ???

  9. This is the problem we are still not realising: we are now sandwitching these kids between two AR15 barrels, Uvalde response team had them all and all those guys just stood outside afraid of confronting 1 AR15
