    Well, Biden set a record for mass killings in 2023 and I hadn't seen any in a little while, so I thought maybe he had stopped it like Covid.

    I’d like to see a more definitive explanation of what happened in terms of the lockdown procedures. Surely they didn’t just send kids to the stadium.

    Correct, safe procedure would be to stay locked down in the classroom and wait for law enforcement to walk each class out to a specified reunification site.

    Locked classroom doors are incredibly important.

    Just wait until drones with attached bombs are ruled as "personal carry / protection devices" by the Supreme Court. I wonder what tonnage will be the limit? Or will there be a limit??

    I wanted to reply funny and then felt guilty for finding humor in this post. I am not going to reply further in this thread other than saying I hope the impacted can somehow find peace.

    It’s the only way they’ll feel safe.

    How soon before a certain presidential candidate tells us that it's time to move on? Their record is a day and a half.

    Let's face the facts. This has become normalized. Everyone will scream about the new for gun control or the need to protect their right to own a gun and next week thinkg

    It’s really not hardened criminals perpetuating school shootings though. Usually some sad introverted student with an outsized grudge against the world who brokke into dad’s gun cabinet for the weapon. I agree that background checks would help but not in these instances. Every-time i get one of those background checks it delays my purchase for some reason - maybe a bad guy with a similar name. Anyway, i think they do work.

    Explain? Are you talking about locked classrooms or students being led out by LEOs?
