No, they will/have pivot this to arming the teachers.
And after that, people will want drone guns if arming teachers doesn't work. It's that supposed to be a school or Call of Duty?
Yes.
Maybe he should have offered him some home made chocolates or something or maybe donuts. Criminal behavior by the cops
Given the incompetency of the Uvalde police, they would have promptly engaged and killed the teacher who had guns, while calling the murdered as 'sir'.
If level headed people like you are not bringing children into this world, and 'arming' them with intelligence and common sense, then you're helping the enemy. The world, and our children's future, will indeed be damned as a self fulfilling prophesy.
It’s more like what could happen to our potential children than arming them with what we were armed by our parents. I forswore off kids a couple of decades ago when I thought it through to possible outcomes. Every year has just proven my choice as to be correct.
I get your point and maybe our thinking would have changed had things worked out differently. Honestly, a tiny bit of my thinking might be a coping mechanism.

How old are your SIL’s kids?
2 in grade school and one in HS. The HS one is going to be ok I think. She is a brilliant artist and wants to be a surgeon. With the younger ones it's hard to tell as COVID (b/c SIL's husband does not believe in vaccines so no way were we visiting) and distance has meant we have not seen them in years.
I wonder when MAGA tendencies start showing up in impressionable children.
It depends on what is exhibited at home. The brand of MAGA I think my SIL and husband have is all on the selfish economic side (tax cuts for me, no "handouts" for anyone, no medicare, no regulations, etc.) and not really in the more hateful stuff. I have never heard anything remotely hateful or racist out of them, they just are selfish as hell and want politicians who vote that way. The vaccine thing was a weird one as my SIL is a nurse and her husband is highly educated. I 100% believe it was due to the GOP campaign against vaccinations.

Bloody hell. That's just disgusting. Sub-humanly disgusting.
It is extremely bizarre. I know that the command structure was totally deficient, but the thing that irked me more is how there was no mention of a single police sharpshooter among the 400 officers involved. Just as I wrote yesterday, I looked at the map of the school grounds and I saw at least two buildings from where a police sharpshooter could have taken position on the rooftop and thus have a line of sight into that classroom.
Yeah I thought it couldn't get worse after the initial reports in the first few days.
That just tells you police are guys with guns. Not good guys.

That is incredible. Meanwhile the rest of the civilised world don't need their schools to be secured like a military base. America is a nutcase of a country.
