Can We Protect The Children?

Why not stand behind protecting our schools, with structural hardening and 'ARMED" security personnel and trained staff?

Political 'Gun' grabbing is ineffectual, despicable, irresponsible and dangerous!

I am so sick of this mentality.

We have had almost three decades to fix this.

The 'gun control' narrative is more important to the left than child protection!

Shame on them all. It's so sad and so obvious!

People act like the only way a group of people ever dies is due to someone with a gun.

Mass killings have been going on for like.... FOREVER! What they all have in common is nut cases!
And... groups of people all gathered in one place.
The choice of weapons vary... even a grenade! I'll bet grenades were "allowed" to the mainstream public. Right?

Can't even trust the damn bus driver!!
Protect your children in any way you can. It's really not safe to have big groups of people...children or adults. You all become targets just for the fact you are easy in big groups.

Nobody seems to bat an eye when our children are taught to take cover from bombs and what not
"On August 29, 1949, the Soviet Union detonated its first nuclear device at a remote site in Kazakhstan, signaling a new and terrifying phase in the Cold War. By the early 1950s, schools across the United States were training students to dive under their desks and cover their heads. The now-infamous duck-and-cover drills simulated what should be done in case of an atomic attack—and channeled a growing panic over an escalating arms race.

“During this period, the United States is suddenly having to really reckon with the fact that it is not the only nuclear power out there anymore,” says Alex Wellerstein, a historian of science and nuclear weapons and professor at the Stevens Institute of Technology. “Now, instead of just seeing the bomb as this asset that we could use or not use...it suddenly is brought to bear that this is something that could be used against us.”"

Ever wonder what the hell is wrong with people? Wars, harming others, self harming and so much more. And so many sitting on social sites acting like taking some damn LEGAL guns or limiting them will stop the bogey man and company.

@SW-User Same people who thought people only died of Covid in 2020.

@SW-User Very well written. You are a very wise Lady!

As always, your words of wisdom are appreciated. Some of these others are just trying to score points with you. They fail to agree with the premise of the post! They have no conviction.

😊🤗🥰😘💖🌹

@Oster1 Rarely does anyone openly stand with me on internet. There was a time two people stood with me and stated they agreed. I'll never forget how that made me feel and how I saw those two in a whole new way...it took guts, courage and conviction.

After Monday, this account will no longer be here.

@SW-User I loved that song! How can I get you, to reconsider?

@SW-User We are adults and have problems but we need to protect kids and we are NOT doing a good job of that when there is a mass shooting every day. I hold us all responsible, the NRA responsible, our leaders responsible, and you need to take responsibility!

@Oster1 What are you thinking making excuses for dead kids! Shame on you!
SW-User
@Oster1 I'm not reconsidering.
I was gone most of the day today and didn't miss all the negative things I see on this site.

@SW-User I am so sorry to read this and undersand. I will miss you.

@Oster1 It's okay. Mostly, nobody will notice either way. lol
Oster1 · M
@SW-User I certainly will. It's really sad.😔
SW-User
@Oster1 Thank you for saying so. I assume once I go through the motions, all my posts and comments disappear from here?
Oster1 · M
@SW-User Just leave everything and take a break. Most regret deleting eveything. I have read that often. 🤗🌹
SW-User
@Oster1 I'm not going to do that.
When I quit smoking, I did so with no cigarettes around and cold turkey.
Same will happen with this. It'll be fine. I don't have much to say or do here on this site anyway. :)

@SW-User I am so sorry, to see you leave.😔❤️

@SW-User You nailed that one. Good points.

@Oster1 It's fine. :) Thank you for caring though.

@SW-User Here in Michigan, a deranged man placed dynamite in a school and killed a lot of kids back in the 1920s! McVeigh killed a lot of kids with a truck bomb! I'm sure there are many more cases!
