Ya I can get behind all that but it won’t make a lick of difference on gun deaths in America. Just your standard “we must do something” type legislation. Limit magazine size I still believe will save the most lives but even that will not stop someone from buying illegally somehow someway.
The possibility has always been there, why the sudden need to drill 2 year olds on mass situation situations? It is still an incredibly rare occurrence for these types of things to happen in schools. Me thinks they’re looking for attention.
"Looking for attention?" Don't be dumb. Fires and tornadoes are rare, but not non-zero probabilities. They drill for those too.
And have drilled for them for decades. Why now the addition of active shooter drills? I can’t teach my sons U8 team to throw to 2nd base when there’s a runner on 1st how in the hell do these daycare teachers think there going to get 2 year olds to follow there training if a maniac shows up at their door.Just my opinion. It’s something that makes the adults in the room feel better while instilling fear into a bunch of 2 year olds and if I was TAMU I would have serious concerns about it. Completely unnecessary.
Because the number of school shootings has grown exponentially.https://www.statista.com/chart/19982/number-of-us-k-12-school-shootings-per-decade/
At work we now have added active shooter trainings. Also there’s cyber security training too that wasn’t very common all that long ago. Is that just for show too?Places are adding it because it’s becoming a real threat, albeit still a remote threat. Just the same as tornado and fire drills.
Perfect. The old "it might not work so why bother" response."Why bother" is what we've been doing for centuries. How has that been working for Gunmerica?Keep voting for politicians who prioritize gun rights over human lives. That's your prerogative. But, like the politicians themselves, please don't claim you prioritize human lives.
Not saying it’s their fault, they can do whatever they want but I would argue it’s unnecessary and if it makes TAMU uncomfortable he should take that up with the daycare.

TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
I am not uncomfortable that they are doing it, I am uncomfortable that we've gotten to a point where I can't argue that they aren't necessary.This is what some people in this thread and Washington are advocating for. Guns aren't the problem, it's that the schools aren't secure enough. Pretty soon they'll be saying that parents should have sent their kids to school in body armor.To be clear, the daycare isn't telling 2 year olds that "this is what you do when a gunman is in the building." The drill is for the teachers to practice what to do if an active shooter comes into the building while still having to wrangle 12 2 year olds. Talking to her teacher, it doesn't sound like it went well.
Goodness, your just one big liberal bumper sticker. No one is prioritizing gun rights over lives. There can be an honest conversation from both sides without throwing garbage like that out there.

Actually, they are
They might not be prioritizing guns over lives, but if you vote for a politician that opposes gun control, you are prioritizing whatever your reason is for voting for that candidate over meaningful gun control which does cost lives. In the last national elections, I voted mostly democrat even though I disagree with most of their economic policies. I accept responsibility for my part in supporting those economic policies even though I don't agree with them.
1) Yes shootings are up, it’s a problem that deserves attention which I fully support. There has been numerous small measures taken over the last 30 years to shore up background checks, red flag laws, limit magazines, etc and those measures don’t seem to be working. My argument is we can pass all the laws we want but maniacs don’t follow laws so I think it’ll have little to no impact unfortunately. 2) I’m a helluva coach
If you don’t mind me asking what were the policies of those candidates that you voted for and valued above their economic views? Or was it more of a vote against the policies of the other candidate?
No they’re not.
Honest conversation ... says the guy whose response was immediately to (incorrectly) label another Scooper.You don't see me saying that "your" just one big gun-loving right-winger bumper sticker, do you? Look, man, if you're not willing to prioritize human lives, that's your choice. Own it.
