3/27/23 Nashville School Shooting

The cost to install resistant glass is way more than 99% of Christian schools can afford for the approaching zero percent chance of an event.
The double entry doors provided enough delay that an internal protector could have engaged. That internal protector could be had at a much lower cost as there are likely at least two persons who would be willing at each school that could be trained to engage at low cost.

Money is obviously not the problem, we can just print more of it.

Don't private schools have their hands in public funds?

If police departments can get grants for officer safety equipment and training, private schools should be able to get grants for children's safety.
 
Yeah every single police station I've ever visited for permitting and fingerprinting, etc. looked like a high tech fortress with vault doors and the reception front desk area in a bulletproof glass room they could easily retreat to and lock down at a second's notice. I went to public school all the way until college and public school security just typically relied on handle-less steel doors that remained locked and one open unsecured access chokepoint at the main office area with a gun free zone at the open door. Shouldn't cost too much to fortify the entrance points like our police stations..
The staff will still prop the doors open
I had a service call at a school after the talk about the propped open door at one of the attacks
Side door propped open for the staff to smoke
 
Putting red flag laws aside. This is much more than a red flag... 5 year history, constantly threatening suicide.... I just can't get over this.... everything in this scenario is just wrong.. if you are on psychological medication and have serious psychological issues , you hate yourself and don't know if you are a girl or a boy.... who sold this person a gun? Jesus!!!!
100% of Trans people have a mental illness. I thought that people with mental illness couldn't get firearms. How TF did this happen? So sad !!!

If you threaten to killyourself year after year for 5 years... then someone sells you a gun? System is broken.
This is what Im concerned about (who sold this person a gun). I would not be surprised if a straw purchase was involved on purpose to go after f2f sales.

In case of a mass shooting where a staff doing that caused the entry breach, charge the staff with murder. Just like in a robbery, the getaway driver gets the same charge as the person popping the shots.
 
Im not trying to be consistent or uphold the constitution in my belief. I will not celebrate my enemies taking up arms. I couldn't care less about it, I want them crushed so that people can live in peace. The constitution was written by and for moral god fearing people. They are undeserving of its privileges and protections.
I think you should do a little more research on our founders. Most of them believed in a higher power but rejected the church. And I’m not saying you have to celebrate them, just realize they are subject to the same protections enumerated in the constitution. You’re allowed to hate people, just don’t violate their rights.

Most Christian schools can't get access to public money

Im okay with disagreeing actually. I dont want my political enemies arming up, I dont care if that flies in the face of a constitution that is currently a shadow of its former self.

Not all that true -

You don't need bullet resistant glass. You need something that prevents entry. 3M and probably others make films that can be applied over the existing glass that will hold the broken glass together and make entry much more difficult. Maybe they should bring back the security glass with the mesh in it...

Eventually they will get in, but if it buys you five minutes the cops engage the bad guy outside instead of inside. If nothing else, the bad guy's plan has started to go wrong right from the beginning.
 
Just waiting for the manifesto to be released.

They make it and it's not super expensive - Amazon product ASIN B07D6WMPMZView: https://www.amazon.com/Mil-Security-Window-Film-25ft/dp/B07D6WMPMZ

Probably around 1k for enough material to secure the first floor windows of most schools

I think at the same time there is also a difference between "people rejecting the church" vs "people rejecting christianity".

IMHO its possible for someone to be christian without being welded to some particular church. not to mention the founders may have had serious issues with "state church-ness" like what may have existed in places like England, but that doesn't mean they rejected christianity wholesale.
 
Not necessarily. I do believe thinking youre the wrong gender is a mental illenss and bars you from owning firearms.
What Im saying is im not going to celebrate or encourage my political enemies to be armed, in the same way that I dont celebrate morons having drivers licenses, though it is their right to have one.
Think this through. Who do you think will make the suitability determination? This is not a road we should go down.

Guns were purchased legally. Mother didn't think they should have guns and thought they sold them. Police were never informed. According to Chief presser and he is very credible. Chief also noted that if they had heard about it, they would have tried to take the weapons away (whatever that means).
 
And she lied on her 4473, question 21 h, given her diagnosis.
No? 21h is about involuntary committment and/or adjudication. Most people with actual diagnoses wouldn't need to check that as a Y.

Not every transgender is diagnosable with gender dysphoria. Diagnosis requires "clinically significant distress or impairment," and that's straight outta DSM5. Then there are others who simply don't want to be diagnosed, and thus don't seek out a therapist. Neither would be lying on a 4473.

Granted, had she survived this incident... well, I'd say that would be evidence of significant functional impairment.
 
Then you’re still hamstrung by lack of support and authorized training time by the admin’s who don’t want to pay for it to be done properly.

He prepared his body, mind, and skills for that moment.

We need that to be the normal with all cops.
Agreed. As it should be.
EDIT:
I don’t give a shit if the training isn’t provided and paid for by the agency. Here’s my sad face.
Figure it out or find a different profession.
Stop with the common sense bs, this is 2023 and it won’t be tolerated. Uniform pants much like spandex should never be made over a certain size.

We’ve all seen what’s being passed off as cops these days and now they’re also implementing rules that simply being non-English speaking (as in not a f***ing word) is a non plus to being hired or pass the course.

How many interpreters will be needed in each classroom alone across the country to repeat word for word 23 weeks of basic law to these f***ing morons to get them to pass.
How will they interact with society with no language skills at all for daily activities. They can’t but it doesn’t matter anymore.

This is the mentality of police administrations in 2023. This they will find money for that and happily show it on the evening news as a great success, while anything even remotely related to tactics or firearms is going to take the hit even more for that money, and that will also be celebrated on the evening news.

Alpha males who normally would show initiative in their training and be self starters are few and far between these days in civil service. Not because they’re a dying breed, but because they're continually becoming more educated now and find better jobs that pay more and allow them to allocate that extra money into their own training and active lifestyles.

You’d have as much taking a bunch of 15 yr Spec4’s for a ruck run or paying for training out of their own pocket because it’s their job. it’s not happening. Human nature man. Very few will take the hard road on purpose anymore.

I live in reality. The left uses power to their advantage and we sit around saying "oooh be careful it could be used against us someday"
I dont care anymore, were already being oppressed by a leftist state apparatus. If a real right wing ever emerges in America and controls the state I hope the full power and crushing force of the state is used to end this and many other progressive societal ills once and for all.

They are being actively passed over for consideration by HR which is increasingly more difficult to bypass in the selection process

As long as you aren't eventually deemed the enemy, because right now you certainly are their enemy.
