    That last one on the list is for sure a Trans/ Goo - Genetically Obfuscated Organism.

    They don't have to be security theaters. A one way in policy where someone beeps you in is a simplistic start. Having an armed guard or policeman on campus is a must. The bigger the campus the more policemen you hire. You have those two things and your kids are pretty safe. A few armed teachers is a bonus.

    This woman appears to have just walked in. That should never happen.

    The guns don't fire by themselves, @WESGATORS
    Why would you say that?

    the Sub2k is a pistol caliber carbine. Essentially is the same as any standard fare semi auto pistol but with a longer barrel and a stock and thus is easier to shoot more accurately at longer ranges. Difference in terminal ballistics from a handgun is marginal.

    The .300 blackout AR is an odd choice. That particular round is, perhaps more than any other, entirely dependent on the ammo selection.the whole point of that round was to be able to have suppressed performance exceeding the 9mm H&K MP5 SMG along with supersonic performance to reach out and be effective at a couple hundred yards with the same rifle. The cartridge is essentially a 5.56 casing with the neck opened up and a 30 caliber bullet ranging from 110gr to 220gr stuffed in with pistol variant powder behind it. You have subsonic offerings which largely perform about equivalent to a 45ACP hollowpoint if you get the right kind of ammo, and it is fairly expensive per round. Cheaper offerings in the subsonic realm don’t travel at high enough velocity to do anything but punch a .30 caliber hole in the target and are less effective than hollowpoint pistol rounds. In the supersonic realm, performance tends to be similar to that of the 7.62x39 round shot out of an AK-47, though with a shorter barrel it will be losing a couple hundred feet per second. It is less effective than the 30-30 Winchester lever action hunting round, which travels faster and has greater sectional density.

    Sounds dystopian to me that we need to turn anywhere people are into a prison of sorts to only be "pretty safe"

    We know that, but did you know that these Trans people are committing mass murder WITH GUNS TOO?

    That's the point, these people are now hunting innocence in vulnerable places.

    To the first point, no, they aren’t. A great many gun owners are far more libertarian than you might think. The war on drugs is one of those areas where there is a very large portion of the gun community that sees it as a waste.

    And don’t turn schools into security theater. Make them actually secure.

    Yeah, more guns are supposed to make us safer but appears that's not the case. Who woulda thunk it?

    perhaps we should stop funneling so much money to other countries and fix our own house first.

    Yeah, the suspect being a biological male kind of throws out some of the confusion and speculation about why a woman would do something like this. It just didn’t fit the model. There are some things that are generally just only done by men. Acts like this are one of them.

    Actually, it's not as much money as you think it is. I have an idea, how about getting the billionaires in this country pay up?

    People tend to own more guns when it is less safe around them. Chicken or egg?

    People that own a lot of guns appear to be giant ass babies that are afraid of their own shadow.

    Why bring them to a building at all? Remote learning would be the ultimate safety right? Would be lest costly too. Dont have to hire a bunch of armed guards either.

    “Well, at least it’s a Christian school so we can talk about mass shootings for literally the first time.”

    Transitioning to a man? That isn’t what I read. I think there might be some conflicting information still out there.
