New York Congressman Chris Jacobs came out in favor of banning assault style rifles, and the backlash from the GOP, et. al. has effectively ended his career as he won't seek re-election now. SMH at how screwed this country is.

We all were thinking Republicans in Texas State congress were going to try to pass a bill that would allow staff and security to have concealed guns in school. Apparently still that would be the only way for that to happen in Texas, but their fellow Republican congress men in DC are trying to make it Federal.

The Onion nails it again:


Also, some of the comments on their facebook link were goddamned amazing (usually there are a few people that The Onion should honestly consider recruiting, cause they are clever as hell)

The kids calling 911 should have told the dispatch there was someone in the classroom having an abortion. The cops would have rushed right in.

More bad news for the Uvalde Police Department. Now they are in trouble for being 23 hours early.

Fake news, as this suggests Texas cares at all about children once they’ve left the womb.

Texas Holds 'em... back

Greg Abbott already did that. Let's say you turn all schools into armed prisons, what are you going to do with all the soft kid friendly targets around town?

Gonna imprison, playgrounds, grocery stores, day cares, toy stores, libraries, movie theaters, amusement parks, sports arenas? If you can't imprison them to the same level you just did schools will you close them all?

Did I leave anything out?
Still waiting for @FlawleZ

Why are they trying to ban something that is defensive like body armor? See S9407 in New York.

The guy in Buffalo was wearing armor with ceramic plates. Store security guard landed at least one hit on him but it was ineffective due to this.

I don't think I have a problem here since the alternative is to up gun guards and the cops enough to defeat it which seems unrealistic and likely to cause more collateral damage.

Man, lacking courage to engage a kid murdering grade schoolers, but tough enough to stand up to one of the (potential?) victim's mothers. Disgusting.

Even among the more conservative people I know the contempt for these particular cops is just oozing from every pore.

Lol we're about to get political ads with the candidate stalking down a school hallway with their AR and three pistols rolling up on a bad guy of indeterminate but definitely ethnic origin. This is going to get way way worse not better.
Indeed. We have a large contingent that think guns >>> * because many have some sick fantasy of taking down a bad guy or participating in a violent guerilla conflict against the government.

So because a bad guy used something that may provide protection, nobody should be able to use it. Law enforcement will get an exemption to protect themselves from the bad guys while regular citizens are left to fend for themselves - I guess they can call law enforcement and hope they get a better response than Uvalde did.
