THE Gun Thread

[The Architect Of Fate]

The guy who took the monster down was a border contol agent Jacob Albarado who was getting a hairciut when he got a text from his wife, a schoolteacher at the school, they had an active shooter. He grabbed the barber' s shotgun and rushed to the school.

I find the words of the guy who solves a problem carries more weight than know it all armchair quarterbacks..

]I did what I was trained to do,” Albarado told the paper.In a [url=https://www.facebook.com/jacob.albarado.79][/url] just after midnight Wednesday morning, Albarado said one of his daughter’s teammates and friends was among the 19 students who were killed.
“I’m so angry, saddened and grateful all at once. Only time will heal their pain and hopefully changes will be made at all schools in the U.S. and teachers will be trained & allowed to carry in order to protect themselves and students,” he wrote.

19 trained cops can't prevent 22 murders, but one teacher can?

Uh huh. Guess who gets shot first?

It's not enough that teachers are underpaid and overworked and have to essentially beg for basic textbooks. Now they are expected to become freaking urban commandos and take out a deranged maniac with a gun ,And don't even get me started on the logistical nightmare of security guards in schools.
