So we get these extreme takes like "They're going to take away all out guns!"

In fairness, the founding document of the nation literally says "Don't take any guns and the government has continued to ignore it ever since, so the precedent has been set that yes, taking them all is the goal.

Ah, it was to push an ATF head

So, is the shooting real but being covered up because the shooter is nonwhite, or is the shooting fake but being hyped for political purposes? Which conspiracy narrative are we settling on?

That’s actually strange. I know they’re required in 40 states and I assumed it included all public schools regardless of age.

Sometimes for the younger kids they don’t call it active shooter drills… but lockdowns, or code black/red

yeah i'm not going to dox my city, or my kid's age, but I live in a large city, hell it's actually one of the more dangerous cities in the US. It's a "red" state though. Again, I dont remember doing any drills except fire/tornado, and if it was anything else, it was after middleschool. I know my son hasnt done any yet. Must live in one of the states that do not require it. I definitely do not have enough money to afford anything but public school. I guess i've always have been ignorant to how common the drills are. I don't disagree with the practice though. Im all about being prepared

As usual politicians pin the blame on guns and Internet websites rather than law enforcement negligence and the news media.
Rinse, wash, repeat.

probably bullying then again bullying is a weak ass excuse to go postal, its only until graduation or dropping out.

He didn't shoot up his own high school and class mates or whatever, which would make more sense.

It's like a weird mix of suicide by cop and 'everyone will remember me because I murdered kids' but that usually comes with a manifesto of something.

/b/ is posting pics of him as a Trans, is it true or just bait?

And before any retard makes the muskets excuse, those things are deadly even if slow, and the 2nd amendment covered the cannons of the time.

A family member has a small child and apparently they do active shooter drills but call them lockdowns and let the kids think it’s for a tornado or something even though they have to be very very quiet.
The kid in question doesn’t know they’ve been through active shooter drills and they have to be around 6 or 7.

Which I don’t exactly blame teachers for not fully explaining with children that young, that would be a horrible thing to explain.

muh right to have firearms is more important than the life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness of the victims

god I love this country.

My right to own a gun and self defense does not impede on any other Rights.

The new policy is not waiting for SWAT to arrive. The first responding unit sets up and observes. They are waiting for between two to three other units to arrive so they can stop the shooter together.

Not one agency trains their officers to go in solo. The reason is that their are too many corners, nooks, doors, and hiding spaces. Not having another pair of eyes will get the lone officer killed.

this is actually not true, at least in the state in which I live the police are being trained to directly engage the shooter as quickly as humanly possible because when you start shooting at them they do one of 3 things
1) run away
2) seek cover
3) start shooting back at you

all 3 of these things means they have to take time away from shooting at innocent people and worry about YOU

We started "code red" lockdown drills when I was 10/11 in Elementary School. It was the year after columbine so we all understood what it was *really* about at the time but I guess somehow todays kids are too dumb to realize it even though shootings happen way more often?

 

[Calandrino]

Even if you're a fucking nutcase you don't just mosey on down to the local elementary school to shoot kids for no reason.

Exactly. What were these "innocent" elementary school kids doing when he suddenly shot them "for no reason"?

“Why are you locking the door, teacher?”

Uhhh to keep the tornado out, billy

At this point I wonder if it's actually worth it to talk to leftists about anything at all. I don't believe they can be convinced of anything whatsoever.

It really isn't, and the more you engage with them the more they will cry to "authority" against you.

Best to just ignore them and move on. This goes for internet and real life.

The biggest pet peeve of the modern twitter liberal is to be ignored.

It seems true for a whole lot of the political spectrum now. And I don't think this has hit it's peak.

 

[CharlesBarkley]

I like the eternal gun control debate instead of knowing if parents were responsible and not dipshits who never watched their kids this wouldn’t happen.

Wanna reduce school shootings like this? Add a law where your dumbass teen does something like this you get the chair.

Problem solved.

you know that school shootings, or at least school massacres, are not a uniquely american problem right? In China they have a similar crisis of school stabbings where adults who have nothing to live for will go into a kindergarten and start stabbing children to death, they even have lockdown drills for it similar to the ones we have in america. Hell even in Russia they have school shootings, Beslan and the one that happened at the university in Crimea comes to mind

The bathrooms don't have doors ever, they always are a wall... so Im not sure how that's supposed to emulate an active shooter situation, I was talking about barricading doors. staying out of sight, that sort of thing. Going into the the bathroom makes sense for a tornado though.

No, this person doesnt think for themselves at all. They assume I'm from pol, and more than likely assume i'm a "trump guy"

I'm far from a fan of the degenerates that browse /pol/ but the "go back to /pol/ hurhurrr" shit has become such a lazy way to engage your opponents. You disagree with me? You must browse the white supremacist ghanian waterpolo forum!
