As you can imagine, the Coalition to Stop Gun Rights Violence has been so active propagating crap in Facebook that I really decided to ignore them. But this one was too good to pass up.

If you go to the Bushmaster page, you will see that they offer their products in different configurations as for you to check your local laws (if you happen to live in states that have the “ickies” for the regular AR set up) and select the one that matches the criteria imposed by the state. But since CSGV hates Ugly Black Rifles, following the law is actually evading it in their little twisted minds.

And yes ladies and gentlemen, these are the people who are gonna keep us safe with their rational conversation about guns.

THE FINAL REPORT AND FINDINGS OF THE SAFE SCHOOL INITIATIVE: This document is starting to make the rounds through the internets, but do not expect to see it mentioned in the news anytime soon.

The Safe School Initiative was implemented through the Secret Service’s National Threat Assessment Center and the Department of Education’s Safe and Drug-Free Schools Program. The Initiative drew from the Secret Service’s experience in studying and preventing assassination and other types of targeted violence and the Department of Education’s expertise in helping schools facilitate learning through the creation of safe environments for students, faculty, and staff.

It makes for a very interesting reading, specially when you hit page 37:

Despite prompt law enforcement responses, most attacks were stopped by means other than law enforcement intervention…. The fact that it was not through law enforcement intervention that most of the targeted school violence incidents studied were stopped appears in large part to be a function of how brief most of these incidents were in duration.

And if we take a quick jump to the findings we get:

Key Finding 10
Despite prompt law enforcement responses, most attacks were stopped by means other than law enforcement inter vention and most were brief in duration.

Implications
The short duration of most incidents of targeted school violence argues for the importance of developing preventive measures in addition to any emergency planning for a school or school district. The preventive measures should include protocols and procedures for responding to and managing threats and other behaviors of concern.

One can see politics rearing its unsightly rear end here. Key Findings 1 through 9 deal with the importance of proper vigilance and prevention which are very good and must be used because anything that reduces the chances of something from ever happening has to be encouraged. But when Finding 1 through 9 fail and the shooter is on the school grounds, you don’t go back and recheck what cue you missed on the shooter’s profile but go to direct action to stop the attacker. After all, the Secret Service Presidential detail do not carry file folders under their jackets, they carry guns to stop any assassin from taking the President’s life.

As the Secret Service painfully knows, it is impossible to catch all the crazies out there before they act. Sometimes your only option is to react forcefully and with deadly force.

PS: I did forget to mention, the report is from May 2002. It is up to you to do the math.

(Hat tip: I fount the link in my Facebook timeline this morning but failed to make a note of who posted it.  Now I can’t find the person and I have to my apologies for my oversight.)

“It was the NRA.” “It was them redneck, no-good gun owners.” etc, etc,etc. You guys had three days to spew your crap, now it is my turn.

In 1993, the Federal Law Gun–Free Schools Act of 1993 (HR.987 of the 103 Congress) was introduced by Rep. George Miller (still seated for CA) and stated that:

To amend the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to require each State, as a condition of receiving Federal assistance under such Act, to implement a gun control program in its schools, and to establish a program of grants to local educational agencies for purposes of purchasing crime prevention equipment and training security personnel.

As with all things in Congress, the last part was promptly dissolved into nothingness as proven by the the actions or Mr. Lanza. And the law basically created a hunting preserve for the criminally insane when the states promptly followed suit and enacted their local versions of Gun Free Schools.
So the reason why your kids might be right now in a building which will provide no protections in case of a deranged killer is the “Honorable” George Miller.  But that is not all! The first Co-Sponsors of the bill were Elenor Norton (DC), Douglas Peterson (no longer representing Fl), Tony Hall (no longer representing OH) and Benjamin Cardin (MD).

The bill had a total of 19 co-sponsors and can be viewed here. I am sure some of the names will be highly familiar as part of the Gun Control brigade.

So now you know who was the “genius” and the co-sponsors behind “Hey dude, you wanna shoot up some kids. School is wide open!” law. It takes a United State congresscritter come up with a law that basically says in order to keep the chickens safe from the fox, we must remove the dog, send the farmer away and leave the gate to the hen-house open. Make sure you thank them for having children killed in schools for 28 18 glorious years.

The above post belongs to my niece. She happens to be an elementary school teacher and she is forced to teach at a Hunting Preserve for the Criminal Insane A.K.A. school. Thanks to the insane gun free school laws, teachers like her have to be unarmed from the moment they leave home to the moment they get back because they cannot even keep a gun in their vehicles at school or else they become criminals.

And as much as I admire her determination and the determination that Victoria Soto had and that led to her ultimate sacrifice saving her students, I rather see that teachers deliver bullets against an attacker than catching one from him.

Mr. Nadler was asked whether the Newtown tragedy could be the turning point in many Democrats’ longstanding struggle to enact stronger gun laws.

“I think we will be there if the president exploits it, and otherwise we’ll go on to the next” incident, Mr. Nadler said.

Reposted from Tom Givens:

In the wake of the tragic, horrific slaughter of innocent school children in Connecticut, there has been a renewed cry for more gun control laws. This stems from the natural need to “do something” when a tragedy of this proportion occurs. I agree we need to do something, but the “something” I want is a bit different.
The “Gun Free Schools Act of 1994” made it a federal crime to possess a firearm on any
school property. Many states enacted similar legislation at the state level, as the
federal act required them to do so or lose certain federal funding. Thus, it has been a
crime to go onto school property anywhere in the US while in possession of a gun for the
past 28 years. Has that helped?
Well, I did some research and I cannot find a single mass school shooting in the US prior to 1994, when this bill was passed. For the purposes of this discussion, I will define a
“mass school shooting” as one in which three or more people were killed. I have found 14
such incidents in the United States between 1997 and the Newtown, CT, incident of
yesterday. That is an average of one incident every two years. ALL OF THESE OCCURRED AFTER THE ENACTMENT OF THE GUN FREE SCHOOLS ACT OF 1994! Let me emphasize that—every mass school shooting in the US occurred AFTER it became illegal to possess a gun on school grounds. Why?
The answer should be obvious. By making schools a “gun free zone”, you automatically disarm all law abiding citizens at those locations. This is tantamount to placing a sign on the front of the building inviting criminals and mentally deranged persons to come
shoot up the place. “Come on in. We’re all unarmed, by law. We won’t interfere with your mayhem.” Disgusting…..

I, for instance, have a state issued handgun carry permit. I am certified by the NRA as a
Law Enforcement Firearms Instructor and I have been certified by the FBI as a police
firearms instructor. I am certified by two states to train and certify new firearms
instructors for those states. I have held a law enforcement officer commission. I travel
all over the US teaching defensive firearms use. Yet, by law, I would commit a felony by stepping onto school grounds while wearing my sidearm. Despite this, someone who, for whatever reason, wants to shoot up a school can walk right in. If he is willing to murder six year olds in cold blood, he certainly won’t be deterred by a law against bringing a gun onto the campus. Duh….. To think otherwise is so naïve as to be a form of mental illness.
I think it is truly ironic that in the first mass school shooting I could find, occurring in 1997, the mayhem was stopped when the Assistant Principal got a handgun from his car and confronted the gunman, who surrendered to him. Thank God the Assistant Principal had an ILLEGAL gun that day.
A couple of weeks ago, there was an attempted mass shooting at a mall in Oregon. The
demented shooter had a high capacity semiautomatic rifle, but he only managed to kill two
people and wound one other before killing himself. Why was the body count so low, given
that this was obviously a copy-cat version of the Aurora, CO, shootings? The answer is
simple. Because Nick Meli, age 22, was at the mall there with his wife and child. Nick
has a concealed carry permit and was wearing a handgun concealed on his person. When the suspect began shooting, Nick drew his gun and verbally challenged the gunman. Meli held his fire because of innocent people in the background (excellent judgment under stress), but his actions caused the gunman to break off the attack, run into a nearby service corridor and kill himself, ending the spree. Of course, the lamestream media will not tell you about Nick. They would prefer a higher body count rather than tell you a legally armed citizen saved the day. Here are a few other instances that two minutes of internet research brought to light. In each case, a legally armed private citizen saved lives by being there and by being armed.
1. In Pearl, Mississippi in 1997, 16-year-old Luke Woodham stabbed and bludgeoned to
death his mother at home, then killed two students and injured seven at his high school.
As he was on his way to another school building , he was stopped by Assistant Principal
Joel Myrick, who had gone out to get a handgun from his car. Having that gun was illegal,
but it saved lives.
2. In Edinboro, Pennsylvania in 1996, 14-year-old Andrew Wurst shot and killed a teacher
at a school dance, and shot and injured several other students. He had just left the
dance hall, carrying his gun when he was confronted by the dance hall owner James Strand, who lived next door and kept a shotgun at home.
3. In Winnemucca, Nevada in 2008, Ernesto Villagomez killed two people and wounded two others in a bar filled with three hundred people. He was then shot and killed by a patron who was carrying a gun (and had a concealed carry license).
4. In Colorado Springs in 2007, Matthew Murray killed four people at a church. He was
then shot several times by Jeanne Assam, a church member, volunteer security guard, and former police officer (she had been dismissed by a police department 10 years before, and to my knowledge hadn’t worked as a police officer since).
So, I do want some legislative action. I want “gun free zones” abolished, at least for legally armed citizens with government issued licenses to carry. This is real “common sense” gun legislation.

Stolen from Ratus. And I will probably steal more from him 🙂
