CNN) — Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick blamed Friday's massacre at a high school near Houston in part on "too many entrances and too many exits" on the campus, prompting some to mock his perspective as "door control."

"From what we know, this student walked in ... with a long coat and a shotgun under his coat," said Patrick, a Republican who has an A+ rating from the National Rifle Association. "It's 90 degrees. Had there been one single entrance possibly for every student, maybe he would have been stopped."

Patrick, who has previously pushed for open carry and concealed carry laws in Texas, made the comments during a news conference on the same day a 17-year-old student allegedly opened fire with a shotgun and a revolver at Santa Fe High School, killing 10 people and injuring at least 10 others. The firearms were owned by the suspect's father, Texas' governor has said

While Patrick also implored parents who own guns to lock them safely away, he focused his remarks not on weapons but on redesigning school entryways. In placing a focus on doors, Patrick seemingly fell in line with the powerful gun-lobbying group's strategy following school-shooting incidents of identifying possible ways -- apart from restricting firearms -- to make campuses safer.


Stupid is, what stupid is....read these stupid words..
"It's 90 degrees. Had there been one single entrance possibly for every student, maybe he would have been stopped.

So let me explain why there are so many entrances and exists in a school......(in one sentence)....In case of fire, everyone can escape safely...
...one more for extreme clarity........ "If one or more is blocked by fire, then others would be available for escape.."

This asshole is too stupid to understand this one idea. Fires have been far more likely than shooters. That is why there are so many exists. I was once in a school fire as a teacher...Yes, everyone escaped safely, the place had so many exists, and entrances..(on purpose) that when told to leave, a few wanted to stay and safely watch them put out the fire. ( it was in one classroom. the smoke was really bad, but that is all. Fire Department put it out quickly and safely..)

2. Has that moron ever heard of fire codes?

[Stuart G]

4. Not likely....he is a "morons moron"...that is ..he is too stupid for most morons..

Of course he hasn't "heard of fire codes".. He also hasn't heard of lots of people being killed in a fire where the entrances were blocked or unavailable. He is really very stupid to make such a comment. He has defined himself forever..........
