Trump Holds "Listening Session" With Those Affected by School Shootings

It's been on a while, but it's continuing.

Earlier, one kid pushed the #FakeNews claim that someone had purchased an AR-15 in five minutes without an ID -- the lie he got from liar Chris Cuomo -- and then that same kid called, essentially, for Australian's gun confiscation plan to be brought to the US:

"I can't feel comfortable in my country knowing that people have, will have, are ever going to feel like this," he said. "I want to feel safe at school."
Zeif said Australia had a school shooting in 1999, but people came together, and crafted legislation, and there hasn't been a school shooting since.
Julia Cordover, the student body president of Marjory Stoneman Douglas, said whatever the case, more must be done.

Note that CBS avoids noting the "Australian plan" was in fact a nearly-100%-confiscation plan and also edits out this kid's regurgitation of the bought-an-AR-15-in-five-minutes-without-an-ID lie. They omitted that because if they printed it, they'd have to note that it was in fact false, and the leftist media almost never reports that conspiracy theories and #FakeNews claims made by their leftwing allies (and leftwing colleagues like Chris Cuomo) are false. They prefer letting the leftwing faithful continue believing them.

Posted by: Deplorable Redneck Bitter Clinger at February 21, 2018 05:22 PM (iiixZ)

32 The killer was able to buy a rifle because the Broward school board and police have a diversion program to prevent the arrests of high school kids caught committing crimes. The program dates back to the Obama/Holder push to eliminate "disparate outcomes," and includes throwing away or concealing evidence of felonies.

If not for the diversion program, the kid would have been arrested and thereafter failed a firearms background check. Political correctness caused the massacre.

It was the Port Arthur shooting in a tourist area, not a school shooting (he must be confusing it with the Dunblaine shooting in the UK. Facts matter.)

There have been mass shootings Down Under. Only they changed it to 5 or more dead to qualify. Here in the US the anti-gun orgs consider 4 or more injured as a mass shooting. Note I said injured, not shot.

Lastly, the 'gun confiscation' in Australia only got 22% of the KNOWN guns. There are almost as many guns in Oz than before the 'confiscation'. That doesn't include the ones hidden away.

well, the diversion program is mostly for minorities, so they have something of a dilemma on their hands.

do you stop school violence or keep minorities from getting booted out of schools they will never graduate from?

suppose the third option is to keep the violent kids in school and hope they will eventually shoot enough people up to get guns banned.

One of the last guys, his son murdered in Sandy Hook, I believe he said, made great points. He and the school took their own action, which was all about pinpointing the symptoms of the kids that might become violent and training the students to see it too. Great speech. He said it works. Had nothing to do with guns, but bullying, and recognizing the signs and speaking out - and training.

Gee, I 'member an allah ackbar type shooting and holding people prisoner in a bistro in Sydney...

Or is it not the guns that are the problem? Do Aussie schools mainstream kids with behavior problems? Do they refuse to report these kids as dangerous to authorities? Do they have an ACLU that will sue the shit out of them on behalf of the nutbars, or do they have a sane process for dealing with their cuckoos?

having an argument with them would be stupid.

going off like pence and saying stupid stuff is equally stupid. showing up, listening, nodding, and sympathizing is the best option he has long and short term.

doing nothing would get him vilified by the press.

The problem is that the straight and narrow path requires discipline and if one is not held accountable for minor bad deeds they will progress to bad bad deeds.

Also, don't forget, just last year, the Texas Church shooting was stopped by an NRA instructor who hit the shooter in the yard of the church with a shot and then followed the guy until he drove into a ditch and was finished off by deputies.

It is universally accepted that if the NRA instructor hadn't come out and fired at the guy, the rest of the members of the church would have been killed.

250 Flake & Feinstein are introducing a bill to require buyers of AR's to be at least 21 years old. My guess is that will pass.

Have they come up with a sufficiently non-vague definition of what an "AR-15" is? Recall that the '94 AWB tried to ban a list of guns by name and also included some verbiage about "substantiallly similar" models. Circumventing the former was simply a matter or renaming your products. The courts (don't think it went all the way to SCOTUS) ruled that "substantially similar" was unconstitutionally vague. So we got left with the "list of naughty bits" like pistol grips, flash hiders, and things that go up. So what exactly is this new billl going to regulate?

262 It's like this, son. When we're talking about legal reforms or modifications or reinterpretations of the Constitutional provisions, you've come to the adult world. Now, we're happy to hear what you have to say, but in the adult world we've been told that we should STOP fearing Islamic terror and Illegal alien criminals because even though the numbers are high, the percentage of one of us being killed in such a way, are quite low. It doesn't make us feel safe, but our social betters--people who like to think of themselves as our parents--have determined that we should just stop feeling scared--that it's our problem and some behavioral maladjustment in us.

So, you'll be joining the adult world in a few short years, and by the same people who are telling you that we should do anything so that you're not scared in school, will be telling you to SHUT UP if you feel endangered by the lack of safety you have from Islamic terror or criminal aliens.

And if you're scared, they will subscribe a psychiatrist for you to fix your nervous issues. Or you can just "feel safe".

That's the way things work in the adult world. We don't take any steps here either all the time.

Exactly. The only definition they can possibly come up with would be to limit sales of guns capable of a certain capacity of ammo to those 21 and over. Which completely leaves out the 18 year olds in the military who are issued and use high capacity magazine weapons. We can give them to them in the military, but OMG, don't allow them to own one in Richville, USA.

Posted by: Bandersnatch at February 21, 2018 05:56 PM (fuK7c)

He left the church because he had just been discovered by the neighbor and subsequently shot. He had initially shot into the church from outside and had been going outside and back in to continue shooting. FBI found several empty magazines on the ground outside, and the few people who survived said he kept coming back in.

In Massachusetts, btw, you don't have to change states just change towns. This is re:

In Massachusetts, we are required to seek approval from the local chief of police for a LTC, license to carry.

If chief says no, then it's no.

When I lived there there were towns that would not issue a LTC, full stop. Other would. It's all in the discretion of the chief of police. My town, at least then, was one of the good ones.

Not much different in CT either. Your inherent unalienable rights depend on the climate of the police office in your town.

Nobody died, so the Left doesn't care and the Constitutionalists understand someone did their job like most people do nearly all of the time.

I would agree based on States Rights. However, the libs are so far into the Incorporation Doctrine, that I think they should have a little of the 2nd amendment shoved in their face.

Of course, it doesn't matter, really, because they don't learn. They haven't become less centrist because they don't like the president, just more determined to take over the being king of the hill again.

Sure, California has adopted some outright insurrectionist stance, but it's not on a principal of realizing the value of federalism, it's just more they hate Trump.

They're probably right now champing at the bit to re-take the federal government and make changes in red states--whether they like the changes which would require something of blue states.

I've told this story before. My BIL's mother (who lives quite close to you, BTW) had signed on for a belly-dancing class, of all things. She was probably in her 60's at the time.

Anyhow, she's on her way to the class in her outfit, and wearing a raincoat over it. She mused later that it was going to be difficult to explain to the cop, if she got stopped, why she was wearing a belly dancing outfit, and wearing a raincoat with a .38 in the pocket.

Feisty lady, and going strong at 93.

Another test is to point your index fingers toward each other. Start rotating the index finger on your dominant hand in a clockwise direction. Now try to simultaneously rotate the index finger on the nondominant hand in a counterclockwise direction while keeping the other finger rotating in a clockwise direction. Some people can do this right away, some people require a little practice, and some people can't do it at all.

One of the radio pundits the other day was retelling a story of his
kid's school system requesting parents send cans of peas to school with
their kid for the kid to keep in their desk. The idea was if a shooter
came into the class room, the kids could all throw cans at them to do..
something. Knock them off balance or distract them or give them a
concussion.

In other words, the radio people suggested the adults in the school should eliminate any acts of responsibility and leave it up to teens with throwing canned vegetables at an armed shooter.

Obviously Democrats. No basis in reality whatsoever. Other than that, a fantastic idea!

I can tell you there are a lot of closet preppers in the military. I used to work for a colonel that was a few years from retiring and was going on leave to Montana. I asked if he was going hunting or fishing. He replied that he was going to go pick out which mountain to hide out on after retirement. He was always searching for the best deals on bulk ammo; we'd give each other a heads up when things went on sale.

F him. He did the same thing when Ronaldus Magnus was elected back in the '80's. I've seen his sales numbers, he really can't afford to lose any fans. He's always been a niche artist with a small following despite his career and many famous songs. I was once a big fan, but no more.

When Virginia passed concealed carry, the WaPo predicted that people would be shooting other people for cutting in front of them at the grocery store or because their neighbor's dog crapped on their lawn. That showed me right then exactly how the WaPo saw Americans: as so dumb, impulsive and trigger-happy that most of them would murder someone over trivial annoyances.

Instead of going to Tallahassee and blaming the NRA, they should be in the principal's office, at the School Board meeting, at the Dept. of Children and Families, at the Sheriff's Office and at the FBI. Every single level of government coddled or ignored this shooter.

But they're not old enough to figure that out. In fact, I bet the School Board paid for the busses to get them out of town to help place the blame on others.
