I got an RT of at least one person arguing explicitly that the teachers and administrators at that school should have been carrying, because the gun-free zone "[m]akes children sitting ducks."

I'm attacking him. I'm attacking him and people like him head-on.

Speaking of which, Gov. Snyder is scheduled to sign a bill legalizing concealed carry in schools today.

Not kidding.

Clickondetroit.com reports that in the wake of the shooting, he's putting off signing it pending further review (link).

Translation: He'll sign it as soon as he won't catch any flack from doing so.

I'm sitting here just bawling. I have grandchildren in elementary school. It's eleven days until Christmas. There are Kindergartners among the dead.
The next person that says, "You can take my gun when you pry it from my cold dead hands." needs to have that statement taken as a CHALLENGE!

To quote Men in Black I : "Proposal accepted."

I don't know whether to turn the news on, or go hide in a corner.

An ELEMENTARY school?!

I can't stop thinking about Stockton in 1989.

Makes me think of Dunblane.

Re: Damn, Damn, Damn, Damn inamac December 15 2012, 06:08:35 UTC

If only it were like Dunblane - and had the same outcomes - the banning of all automatic weapons in the country - and that one of the surviving kids becomes a World and Olympic Champion.

But I suspect that the former is a vain hope.

I have no words. I'm trying to keep from crying at work.

As I said on FB...

Predicted reaction from the NRA to the tragedy in Connecticut: "If only more 10-year-olds were permitted to carry firearms to elementary school, this would never have happened."

Bastards.
