MK-ULTRA?

Bombing headlines aren't good for the upcoming gun-grabber March for our Lives.

Bingo.

Not sure what planet you are on.

But they have been trying to disarm us since the War Between the States.

And getting progressively more blatant about it.

I’m afraid this is closer to the truth than most will admit. The downfall of the 2nd Amendment is movies, television, and especially the so-called social media. It’s the new educational tool that moves minds!

Götterdämmerung

Right around the corner. It's a'comin'!

We should be concentrating our efforts on this kind of program.

I didn't know that this existed until I read this months American Hunter magazine. The NRA has developed a program to train school personnel on how to improve school security and do a better job of protecting our children in schools. They taught the course the first time in 2015 and since then have provided it in several states.

I'm going to go to the next local school board meeting and suggest that they request the NRA to provide the training for some of our school employees. Most local school districts in our area have some kind of security personnel. They seem like good potential candidates to take the initial round of training. Maybe some school administrators should attend also so they can get a better idea of how to protect children in schools from potential threats.

Thanks for posting this. I'll approach our school district also.

Last week I made a silly speculation that we would likely see something significant within 10 days in order to draw the media attention away from DC and the criminal behavior on display. I'm really sorry to say that an event like this does not surprise me.

Shouldn't this one be used by the "arm the staff" supporters? The school resource officer shot the kid before he did more damage. When you can't stop the shooting from starting (which you really can't) you need to support fast ways to stop it.

Sounds like a "good guy" with a gun stopped the mayhem:

Breitbart News reported news of the shooting and indicated that St. Mary’s County Sheriff Office was on scene and FBI and ATF agents were en route.

Injuries are reported as three, including the shooter.

ABC 7’s Brad Bell tweeted:

#BREAKING confirmed with sources at #greatmillsshooting : 3 students injured. 1 is the shooter. A school resource officer was on duty and took action to end threat. No final word on conditions.

NBC’s Christina Ginn tweeted:

BREAKING: School resource officer exchanged gunfire with shooter at MD school shooting. #GreatMillsHighSchool Live coverage on @MSNBC. @NBCNews

WTOP reports that the shooting began with a single shot fired at “a girl in the hallway” at the start of the school day at Great Mills High. It is unclear how many more shots were fired as “students and staff” alerted the resource officer. That officer then moved to engage the shooter, ending the threat.

I hate the thought of uttering the phrase "we should use this shooting to our advantage". Having said that, we (2A supporters) should. Assuming what has been said in this thread is true, I submit the following.
1. MD is a strong "gun control" state.
2. The laws didn't stop this shooter.
3. A man with a gun stopped this shooter.
4. An armed security officer in the school, as we propose, stopped the shooter.
5. More armed security in schools will stop more shooters sooner than awaiting the arrival of more people with more guns.
6. Painful as it is, the armed person in the school stopped the killings at 2 (as far as we know right now) rather than letting it get to 17 (as in FL) or more.
We need to articulate the success of what was in place.

a man with a gun stopped a shooter before it became a mass killing.

that is the story here.

And if the "Cop" was driving around in circles with a golf cart....you would indeed be right....

Yep.

What jurisdiction does ATF have in this case?

You waiting on Gene?

No shooting is good, but I see 2 lessons learned from this shooting is that schools need metal detectors, and that armed resource officers are a good thing.

No way to stop ALL these type events, but the public view, as pushed by the media coverage, is that the only way to "protect our kids" is complete removal of all guns.



"Rep. Steny Hoyer, the Democrat who represents the area, said he was sickened to hear the news about the shooting and advocated for universal background checks for weapons.

"Background checks just make common sense to make sure people can and will use a weapon thoughtfully and not dangerously," he told News4."

Proves how stupid they are, how the "F" would background checks remove the gun from this student? I doubt he is 21, and also assume the statement that he pulled out a gun indicates a handgun was used, but might be poor media coverage also.

You are correct. However the anti's will say that if guns were banned these incidents wouldn't occur, period.
We have a deeper issue that the anti's don't want to address, the violence and propensity of people, especially the younger individuals, who want to commit these acts of violence and murder.

these school shootings just might be another theory ? conspiracy lead by some maybe political party ? things are just strange how its happening ? why is it a young male shooter most of the time that has problems ? is someone coaching these young shooters ? where are they getting the cash and knowledge on their school shooting set-ups ? its time for armed guards at all schools public and private and for now get the national guard at these schools and figure out what needs to be done to make all schools safe ! and take care of these problem kids before something happens !
