No one's job at a school or university is to protect students, staff or themselves from

assault rifles. It's not complicated.
Ban the fugging military weapons.

8. I like the Caribbean vibe

I got a little whitebread granddaughter down in the Virgin Islands working toward a degree in marine biology at a traditionally black university. You are my news source and danger trip wire. And I thank you for the help you give that you don't even know.

10. Hope I helped her escape the hurricanes

I was speaking with some marine biology graduates in the supermarket today - really interesting young folks.

12. She is in her first year and did okay

She is my hope for the future. She has already done a tour up the Amazon. The people who helped her through the crisis have amazed me.

6. It is not

that hard to figure this out. This is a Ignorance free zone.

11. Perfect description of DU

7. Advocates of these weapons say they are necessary to prevent government tyranny

If the weapons can outgun police and military, why do we expect school security officers to run right into them?

[malaise]

9. Then let them take them into the offices of all three branches of government

and to NRA meetings. They'd ban them in a New York minute before that day.

13. I think saying that stupid thing

Is going to hurt bad. My daughter with school age kids who is married to military and more conservative completely went off about teachers having guns. She hates politics and if i bring it up will change conversation or leave call.

But this has her juice going. She is in a more affluent neighborhood her husband a lt colonel and they live off base. In San Antonio area. Her school just hired a guard who is trained with guns but she doesn’t want teachers to have them.

Thinks kids would find a way to get them from teachers or a pissed off teacher might hurt kids or another teacher.

14. Yes, they are distracting us from the weapons

by blaming the potential good guy with a gun.
