  1. “Gun violence is a major public health problem in the U.S.” is a progressive. woke narrative. The major public health problems are mainstreaming untreated mentally ill people; tobacco, alcohol, and drug abuse; the failure to prosecute and imprison criminals who use firearms and other weapons; and permissive, woke, heathen parents, school officials, and academics who push emotions, equity, diversity, inclusiveness, and victim status over logic, discipline, compliance, accountability, respect, civility, and self-sufficiency. If people are so worried about school shootings, why are they not demanding that every school has armed security officers? Since many mass shooters seek out unprotected gun free zones, knowing there is a well-armed and trained, retired Special Forces person guarding the school may deter them. Why are the medical records for violent and suicidal patients who voluntarily seek treatment excluded from NICS database for firearm purchases and transfers? (I know, HIPPA.)

  2. Let’s hope the training encouraged the cops to actually head IMMEDIATELY TOWARD the sound of gun fire rather than sit out for an hour talking about last night’s baseball game like the Uvalde Cops did. (well, I really don’t know what they discussed in Uvalde. They may have been talking about the weather, while little kids were being killed) (If the FBI is involved, you know they are going to take into account the location of the school. If it’s a “Conservative-leaning” school, they will take their time)
