The National Rifle Association (NRA) told attendees they will not be able to carry firearms during an event with former President Donald Trump at its Texas conference that will be held just days after a deadly mass shooting at an elementary school in the state.
On its website, the pro-gun organization declared that people would not be able to bring their firearms into the General Assembly Hall during its upcoming Annual Leadership Forum in Houston on Friday, May 27. In a notice, the NRA said firearms, toy guns and "weapons of any kind" would not be allowed inside the hall. It also listed several other items, such as laser pointers and signs among things that were prohibited.
The NRA described its annual leadership forum as being "one of the most politically significant and popular events in the country." But a shadow has been cast over the conference after 19 children and two adults were fatally shot at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas on Tuesday.
The NRA said the hall was under the jurisdiction of the United States Secret Service as Trump would be speaking during the event. Trump is one of several speakers who are slated to attend the conference this week. Others include Texas Governor Ted Abbott and Senator Ted Cruz, both Republicans and fierce pro-gun advocates.
The town spends 40% of their budget on these pants shitting pussies. The shooter didn't have body armor as initially reported and there just seems like a lot of fishy bullshit in the ever-changing police narrative....
BPD LT Aaron Salter was laid to rest yesterday:

At least our Buffalo Strong cops shoot back and give their lives and protect and serve. Retired (now Buffalo Police) Lieutenant Arron Salter made the ultimate sacrifice in that Tops protecting and serving as he traded fire with the scumbag, who was wearing a vest. These fuckers in Texas were too busy restraining parents and waiting for the Border Patrol. Fucking cowardly biotches!
Big Wheel abbot is no betterQuote:

This was brilliant. Unlike that Puke Yugar horseshit the slaves adhere to:
https://citationsneeded.libsyn.com/n...mass-shootings
Where was the SWAT team. Ours trains constantly doing many drills including clearing buildings with active shooters inside. But our county has the budget to recruit and train top notch law enforcement. Anyways that whole thing was a pooch screw. So much for Don’t Mess With Texas.
I was eating at a restaurant in Utah and an active shooter came in the building the restaurant was in and started shooting. An off duty cop also eating there went out and shot the guy with his concealed carry firearm. The shooter had a 12 gauge and a pack of ammunition. One guy with a pistol took him down.
F A T piggies well-fed from the trough of tax payer funds. Fuck them.
Lyin' Ted Cruz is such a clearly appalling person. I think he's maybe the worst out of the lot.
Can't say as for what cops make in terms of salary that I'd sign on for that gig when balancing the fact that you stand a daily risk of being assaulted/shot by someone in the general public.
Then again, it isn't compulsory to BE a policeman, either.
While I'm not 100% versed on all the facts re: the Texas schoolhouse mass shooting, the consensus emerging is that the police knew the shooter was still active and waited 45-odd minutes to confront/stop the shooter., and in that time period of them waiting the shooter killed some more people.
What the fuck is the point of militarizing these police forces if they're gonna choke when it comes to the moment of truth?
Maybe, sadly, we DO need to think about arming teachers and having armed security forces inside schools if the police aren't getting the job done.
I dunno. I don't have any answers to this situation of spree killing gun violence. I don't think disarming the citizenry is a viable (or desirable) option.
I suppose this shit is just going to keep happening. If as a species we've learned to accept the construction and proliferation of nuclear weapons to the point where we can blow ourselves up 100 times over, I guess we'll learn to accept these spree shootings, too: we pretty much already have...we uselessly tweet our thoughts and prayers, take to the internet and say 'something must be done' and then sit around twiddling our thumbs until the next incident happens...lather, rinse, repeat.
There you go, you have the solution the rest of the planet chose, you just don't want to do it.Quote:

There was a teacher at my high school who occasionally threw a desk across a room when he got angry. No students were occupying the desks at the time, nor did he throw them AT the students, from what I remember. But probably still, a bit much as a display of anger by a professional - underpaid or not.
I'd really hate to think of old man McDonald waving a gun around on one of his bad days. :bolt:
Well old man McDonald is exactly the kind of teacher who will volunteer to be a gun guy not the mousey librarian woman. There are 3.17 MILLION teachers in the US. How many of them have severe mental issues, depression, anger, suicidal thoughts and so on?
If it's only one in a thousand that's 3000 timebombs.
I don't know anyone who went to a school with no crazy teachers, there were at least 5 or 10 at mine.
Our homeroom/PE/Health teacher was also the basketball coach and was known for throwing chairs and tantrums.
One of my teachers hit me in the back with an old dictionary once.
Don't forget the penguins in the Catholic schools!
Friend I've known since third grade just retired from teaching and school administrating. He remembers our fourth grade teacher throwing an eraser at me when I cracked a joke. He says I wish I could do that, and says kids could motherfuck him all day and all he could do is pat them on the head and say "yes, thank you. That's nice." Calling the parents didn't get any results. This was in an affluent suburb of Cleveland.
I'm pretty sure if you arm those guys someone is going to crack and shoot one of the little mother fuckers every other week. :D
The other suggestion seems to be to only have one or two doors which is a brilliant plan until the first fire...
According to Google there are 4000 school fires each year.
If old man McDonald is still alive he would be 90 something, most likely.... which makes the thought of him with a gun even more disturbing :headlights:Quote:

So, we're all just going to have to continue to live with the consequences, seeing as we are opting not to do anything about it.
My hesitancy about limiting or severely restricting private gun ownership results from the militarization of police forces from coast-to-coast: if the police forces demilitarize, I'm all for gun restrictions on private citizens. Ultimately, neither police departments nor private citizens NEED automatic/military-grade weapons.
Mind boggling statistic...
There have so far been at least 233 mass shootings in 2022, according to the nonprofit organization Gun Violence Archive — including today's shooting in Tulsa.
June 1 was the 152nd day of the year. This means there have been more mass shootings this year than there have been days in 2022.
I'm assuming the definition of mass shooting is three or more people shot by a single person in a short span of time...Quote:

And I guess I was correct in the sense that it is now MORE than one per day, trending upward toward being two per day.
amazing how the geezus freak crowd loves their military style weapons
The non crazy books in the bible - the gospels are way too left wing marxist for me.
I have no idea how anyone could read those stories and come away thinking that you are meant to get as much money as you can and kill anyone that fucks with you. :)
It does show demonstrate how utterly pointless religion is as a moral code as you can make it justify anything.
For the record, this is the footage he's talking about....

I got busted for writing a poem about sucking dicks in second grade. I got hauled to the principal's office and they called my mom. I got interrogated on who exposed me to pornography and I was just a dumb kid making sick shit up. I had no idea people did it for real! So I got educated. Anyways if that happened today I probably would have gotten advanced to the next grade and would be given an award.Quote:
