Trump says Teachers should be Armed, calls for Cops in All Schools and Slams Uvalde police for taking 'too long' As He Reads Names of 21 Victims To Bell Tolls and says 'evil' gunman 'will burn in the fires of hell'

Former President Donald Trump called for an overhaul of school security in the aftermath of the Uvalde shooting and demanded that teachers be armed during a speech to National Rifle Association members on Friday.

'Surely we can all agree our schools should not be the softest target our school should be the single hardest target in our country,' he said to applause.

But while protesters outside demanded tougher restrictions on deadly firearms, Trump followed other Republicans in insisting that guns in the hand of law-abiding citizens were the best way to tackle violent crime.

The former president opened in reflective mode. Trump began by calling for a moment's silence as he read the names of each of the 21 people killed in the Uvalde slaughter.

The audience stood and a bell tolled as each name was read.

This guy is going to be waiting a long time for this country to ever head in a better direction.

Many veterans have died to give him that right instead of living under a government that would track him down and beat him for posting that . Use those freedoms buddy .

It literally makes me sick to my stomach. And those poor kids. Imagine what isn't like to cover yourself in your dead friends blood and play dead....for an hour. Its absolutely sickening.

Ugh I don’t want to think about it. I was over at my one of my best friends house yesterday and his youngest daughter is 10. Just looking at her almost made me cry. I have been around her since she was born. I couldn’t imagine her being gone in that fashion.

Sometimes you have to infringe on one person's rights to protect the rights of many. I know there are some poster in the PF who absolutely hate that reality and try their damnedest to deny the necessity.

No better example than a person who can be reasonably presumed to be a threat of committing acts of mass violence.

How did Facebook and the FBI just “miss the boat” on this kid?

According to McCraw, Arredondo believed there was no active threat, so instead of sending officers in, he spent time finding keys that would let him into the school. During this time, however, the shooter had unencumbered access to carry out the attack. Nineteen students and two teachers were killed.

Teachers aren’t paid enough as it is.

But sure, let’s give them weapons and still pay them peanuts to be armed security guards, in addition to educating your children.

You should treat your right to vote like that. Many of this world most brutal tyrants were initially elected to office.

I explained how I treat my vote. I believe I even called it sacred. That doesn’t mitigate the responsibility that comes with owning firearms.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Ok so take a look. Money well spent on beefing up security for schools. If our worthless government can come up with $40 billion to send to a corrupt nation then they can easily come up with at least that much to provide security for ALL schools no?

So we’re into precognition now?

Go post something disparaging about Covid or the 2020 election. Screenshot an ammo can and post it on marketplace. They react in the blink of an eye to that s***.

I think too many are overly obsessed with protecting the rights of the individual.
I see bad decisions knowingly made on a daily basis in the name of rights of the individual.

We desperately need to get back to acknowledging that there is a trade off that frequently has to be made.

So this all was made possible because a teacher propped open the door to the school illegally. It is taught that any door that supposed to be looked should not be propped open because it is a security risk.

Isn't that what threat assessment basically is?

Nobody is talking about “giving them weapons” if they are they’re idiots. Teachers should be allowed to be armed if they choose to be and I would even support advanced training for those that choose to be armed.

Individual freedom is for the greater good.

I didn’t say it mitigated it, I just believe the right to vote is a greater responsibility.

 

[luthervol]

Individual freedom is for the greater good.

No doubt. Except when it isn't. Society must be wise enough to distinguish between the two.

When we stop protecting the rights of the individual the country is done.

You are free to give up your rights. Asking others to give up theirs so you will feel better is ridiculous. Trade offs have already been made and enough is enough.

 

[OHvol40]

I didn’t say it mitigated it, I just believe the right to vote is a greater responsibility.

I vehemently disagree.

 

[hog88]

Isn't that what threat assessment basically is?

No. We don’t restrict rights on the basis of “they might”. The individual has to actually do something and be convicted or committed first.

 

[hog88]

I vehemently disagree.

As I said earlier you are part of the problem.

 

[C-south]

Society did a long time ago.
