Fair enough. Another favorite of mine is "I refuse to have a battle of wits with an unarmed man" - Oscar Wilde Inversely similar. I think I saw this in the Bunker- 
Yes you did. I managed to sneak it in once. |

Arming teachers could be a solution. I would rather see trained Law Enforcement protecting kids. The Feds, parents and the community should open their pocket books and pay for more security. In my area there are Deputies at all the sporting events. Why not during school hours? A school system should be able to pay for this with some kind of Federal funding assistance, donations or tax levies. |

I just saw this on Imgur. Not everyone has what it takes to put themselves in harms way, even for kids. Most of the teachers I had in school I would classify as sheep, not sheep dogs.  |

Odd how the FBI knew about this shooter( for 6 months) , decided that the lives of the people in the school were not worth saving and yet a gun gets the blame. As far as I'm concerned the FBI is as guilty as the guy who pulled the trigger, and those who ignored the shooter should receive the same charges.

But what about the local Law Enforcement who he was reported to 38 times and they did nothing? He was reported once to the FBI and they have accepted their guilt and the failure in protocol in not passing the information on to the local FBI office. |

There was a lot of inexcusable failures, but instead of addressing the failures they will simply just sit there and blame guns, not what needs to be done. If we are supposed to depend on law enforcement to protect us, who will save us when they refuse to do their job?( not knocking all cops, know and work with plenty of good ones) |

Two more cops come in all guns blazing and kill the guy whose gun WASNT loaded. |

Two more cops come in all guns blazing and kill the guy whose gun WASNT loaded. 2 very different situations, 1 ignoring a threat posed by a mass shooter bent on killing people vs 2 officers shooting an armed man with mental instability and unknown intent. Yes the guy who the cops shot is tragic and he needed help, but in the heat of the moment sometimes the wrong choices get made. |

Yes the guy who the cops shot is tragic and he needed help, but in the heat of the moment sometimes the wrong choices get made. Its all down to training though. A UK Police Officer undergoes 2 years of Training from Cadet through Probationary Officer onto Police Constable. This training includes Conflict Resolution and Police Liaison work which covers everything from sexual abuse through child abuse to family support for murder and road traffic incident victims. Once through that they can choose to specialise with for example some spending upto 6 months learning how to drive High Powered Cars in live traffic as a Road Policing Unit. After a certain amount of time in the force (depending on Police Force) they can then volunteer to become an AFO (Authorised Firearms Officer). Candidates are required to gain approval from their superiors before embarking on a series of interviews, psychological and physical fitness tests, medical examinations and assessment days, before permission to commence firearms training is given. Once authorised, AFOs must pass regular refresher training and retests in order to maintain their authorisation. Failure to meet the required standards can result in the officer having their firearms authorisation revoked. Health or fitness problems can also result in temporary or permanent suspension from firearms duties. |

So, thought I would post this in here, apparently the kid who shot up the school in Florida created a duplicate of his dad's gun safe key. He wasn't supposed to have access to the gun in the first place. To quote: “Mr. Snead said he thought he had the only key to the safe. He did not learn until Wednesday that Mr. Cruz had apparently kept a duplicate key, he said.”

In my Dept I work for, just to be a uncertified deputy ( corrections officer) there is a number of physical, mental, background, lie detector, etc. After that you have to wait a year( probation ) before you go for your OPOTA certification then 2-3 more on average before you can got to patrol, I.C.A.C etc. Then you have your continuing education, yearly recerts with firearms etc. It's impossible to train for every eventuality, just due to the sheer amount of variables so a lot of times you are left with a split second choice. |

Id hate to have to be the Liaison Officer though. I dont think theres a harder job than going to inform a family of a bereavement. |

“There is no serious person out there who would suggest somehow that you could even rig America’s elections, in part because they’re so decentralized and the numbers of votes involved,” Obama said.
“There’s no evidence that that has happened in the past or that there are instances in which that will happen this time,” he continued. “And so, I ‘d advise Mr. Trump to stop whining and go try to make his case to get votes.” October 2016
Yet, he knew all along that the Russians were trying to hack voting machines and meddle in our elections. I guess he didn't think it was that big of a deal since he interfered in Israel's election by sending his folks over there to assist in defeating "Bibi" (didn't work) and also because he was sure Hildebeest was going to win.
Ironically, he (Trump) made his case on got those votes in WI, MI and PA.
Obama also made Romney look smart regarding his statements in 2014 about Russia. SMH
