We don’t know exactly how Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School assistant football coach Aaron Feis (above) died. But we do know that he served as the school’s security guard and was unarmed at the time of his death. We offer our deepest condolences to Mr. Feis’ family, friends, students and players. And hope that his death inspires concerned educators to arm themselves against evil. And convinces those in favor of the Gun Free School Zones Act to drop their support so that the Act can be repealed for our children’s safety.
Aaron Feis: Slain Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Assistant Football Coach Was Also Unarmed School Security Officer

Does anyone else have a problem with seeing the kids getting marched out of the school with their hands up like they are criminals being walked to their cells?
I wonder if that’s why most guns are black? Maybe the logic is that they will just be a blur to our wives and they will just think it’s a gun we already have.

And in other news water is wet and the ground is below the sky.
We had active shooter training at my place of employment. Key takeaways:
1) Get out of the building/area if you can.
2) If you can’t get out, hide/lock/barricade
3) If the shooter gets to you anyway, don’t just sit there begging for your life. Shooters love sitting ducks and that attitude results in increased death tolls. Run, attack, throw stuff, distract the shooter, etc. REFUSE TO BE A VICTIM!
Moving targets are had to hit. Move! Even if you get shot, your movement reduces the chance of a center mass hit.
I told my kids to escape if possible and fight if not. And I told them I would come for them regardless of what the police were doing. Looking back I should have never let them go to public school. We did private school, home school and public school. If I had it to do over again I would never have let them go to any public school and most private ones, too. Home school is the ONLY way to be sure your kids are educated and safe. Plenty of guns and no tyrannical indoctrination to deprogram out of them. For anyone who thinks home school is too hard, too costly or doesn’t socialize your kid(s) I’d urge you to do some research and talk to your local home school association. The life you save may be your kids! (TM)
Unarmed security. Couldn’t pay me enough.
Aaron Feis was a brave man. Had he been armed and trained, I’m sure that he could have stopped the madman. Feis had time to interpose his body between the shooter and the students, so he could have had the time to fire on the bad guy and put that POS down for good.
“For all sad words of tongue and pen, The saddest are these, ‘It might have been’.”

Democrats would have likely retook the Senate in 2016 if President Obama did not go full retard on gun control.
– These people claim that we “do nothing” regarding murder. How then, are murderers in prison? Is it just sheer coincidence that they are serving life sentences or on death row? If not, why is punishing murderers not considered “doing something”?
– “This happens nowhere else”. Does “nowhere else” include Brazil, Jamaica, Mexico, and South Africa?
– These people claim that no one is talking about banning guns. How then, did guns get banned in Chicago, Illinois, and Washington, D.C.? How did guns get banned in South Carolina in 1902 if no one ever talked about banning guns?
– These people claim to want “sensible” gun legislation. Why did none of them call for repealing the handgun bans in Chicago and Washington? Or for laws authorizing police to arbitrarily deny permits to carry firearms, even if the applicant meets all objective statutory criteria?
– Washington, D.C. had a handgun ban in 1982. Were the shootings of Ronald Reagan and James Brady hoaxes? How would such a thing be possible if it was as difficult for John Hinckley to obtain a firearm as it was for Marion Barry to obtain cocaine?
– These people say that state-level bans do not work because people simply smuggle guns from outside the jurisdiction, and we need national laws. We have national laws on marijuana, and marijuana is smuggled from outside the United States. In order for gun control laws to work, must the United States conquer the whole world? How many servicemen would be willing to fight in a war of conquest for the purpose of disarming Americans at home? How many foreign children would have to be killed to accomplish that objective?
– Regarding universal background checks, how do they expect the police to to catch a crack dealer selling firearms without running background checks if the police can not catch him for selling crack?
– Kamala Harris, who at the time was the California Attorney General, said “Local law enforcement must be able to use their discretion to determine who can carry a concealed weapon” If so, why should not county clerks like Kim Davis be able to use their discretion to determine who can marry?
– The United States of America already has the highest prison population in the world. How many more prisons would have to be built to accommodate a new population of prisoners who had not even been accused of hurting anyone?
– The Second Amendment is not the only constitutional provision with adverse public safety implication. While no murder conviction was ever thrown out on Second Amendment grounds, murder convictions have been thrown out on Fourth and Fifth and Sixth Amendment grounds. If these amendments were repealed (or ignored), it would be easier to punish criminals. How many lives would be saved? What would be the price for those lives?
– More people are killed by black violence than mass shootings. What must be done about blacks? Are the anti-gun people willing to abrogate Constitutional protections to go after blacks? If not, what would stop a state that had already abrogated the Constitution regarding the right to keep and bear arms, from doing the same regarding black people?

Mr Obama may feel free to take his opinion and stick it up his sphincter.
Professional? He should pick something else, they outsource that crap now days. Just leave it as a hobby.
We have told our son to get out of the school. We have given him an offsite location to go to and told him how to contact us once he gets there.
Sitting in a room waiting to be shot is not what I want my son doing. I told him a moving target is harder to hit and distance is your friend.
Took my comment…yes an oxymoronic statement. When I was in high school we had race riots(plural). No one got shot. RIP…
At her current age and maturity level I have told her to do what she is told and try to keep other kids calm and quiet.
In another year or so we will have the talk about making every effort to escape if possible and be prepared to fight if needed.

US murder rates fell constantly for nearly 25 years as incarceration rates increased — making all Americans and American neighborhoods — ESPECIALLY minority Americans and minority neighborhoods WAY safer. It approached a 2/3 drop, down a whopping nearly 65% since the early 1990’s, until Obama and his right hand man, Eric Holder began arguing for and advocating shorter sentences, not just for recreational drug offenders (ok), but also for VIOLENT CRIMINALS.
Just google image: US homicide rates since 1990; and then google image: US incarceration rate since 1990; and superimpose the images in your head.
Now this guy did not have priors, but SHOULD have. It was not just his internet threats, but reportedly made specific threats personally in front of multiple witnesses. He was never charged. Imagine he had used two or three easily made pressure cooker bombs like the kid who made them for the Boston bombing and had killed 10, 20 or 30 kids with them. What would Oblamer be saying? That is his own fault? Or the fault of the ACLU for making sure that people who make grave threats don;t get jailed or put in mental health facilities when they are nuts and violent?
Democrats will take your rights away at the drop of a hat, which is why you should never elect one.
And you should choose your Republicans carefully.
A sensible load out. A compact flashlight so she can see in the dark and dazzle an assailant. Pepper spray for non-lethal force and a compact handgun if worst comes to worst. About the only thing I might add would be a very small folding knife for its utility rather than for defense.
I was working in my store on Tuesday when in walked my optometrist to buy some ammo. I never knew that he was a gun guy, nor did he know that about me. The subject just never came up. The next day, a neighbor popped in to buy ammo. Neither of us knew about the other.
Pleasant surprises are as uncommon as they are welcome.
My gun stocks are falling, time to start a serious conversation about gun control, lol.
Top photo is an airsoft pistol. I also see a pellet pistol in the group photo on the mattress. A couple of shotguns, a couple of rifles, and an AR15. There’s another photo of him in a first-person perspective aiming an AR with a cheap red-dot out the window.
Big deal, just deal out swift justice to the killer and start protecting schools better.
Until they pass sensible gun control legislation including a total ban on deadly “gun free” killing zones and allow Constitutional Carry EVERYWHERE, we will continue to see this repeated over and over again.
First and most importantly we have to get rid of Gun Free Zones.
Harden the entries to all schools. Have the kidz go through a scanned entry and check in with a formal readable ID card.
Use a scanner or card reader at the main and only usable entrance for kids to enter the building.
2: allow all school employees who want to and pass a mandatory check upon employment. To carry a concealed weapon. From the janitor to any of the teachers who wish to and have taken some sort of testing by the Police.
Give your kidz a fighting chance at the very least. This is a start to be done at the very least.
As it stands now in most schools kidz are sitting ducks waiting to be shot at.
Yea, gonna be honest here, guys… Articles like this are why they keep doing it.
They’re looking for infamy, notoriety, and attention. They want people to sit here and dissect their motives and intents and methods. We’re teaching them that if they kill enough people, we’ll give them exactly what they want.
We really need to stop that.
Yesterday I heard the FBI was leading the investigation, despite having no authority and less experience with murders than the Broward County cops. I now know why, to cover up their incompetence.
Any one that is hooked on prescription antidepressants should not be able too own a gun, every mass shooter so far has been stoned them.
If the crybaby liberals want to be prescription antidepressants they need to have there gun right voided just like any other not legal drug use in the country
Just like getting a DWI or several on MO you lose you gun rights
Intoxicated possession of firearm in any way in MO is a FELONY!
NO GUNS!
Prescription antidepressants use and should bar a person from
possession of firearm in any way
NO GUNS
And the downward spiral continues for Megyn Kelly.
Can I just use a double’d up paper bag the right size? I hope someone didn’t spend too much time on that unit. Wow. R & D was toked up.
Weird, I don’t recall Don pushing for discussions about pressure cooker control and rental truck control in the recent past. I wonder if that hypocrisy is driven by a political agenda? Hmmm…
Anyhoo, the dude’s demonstrated many times that he’s one of the straight-up dumbest MFers on cable news. He doesn’t have the “gravitas” to do what he’s attempting to do. Why doesn’t that idiot stick to doing what he does best: looking for that airliner in the Indian Ocean…
Holy Shit….. The FBI new about the guy, they didn’t want to stop the guy. It was perfect
Who in hell is Don Lemon? Are we supposed to care what he thinks and says? I sure don’t.
So here have the same “journalists” calling for gun control, who just last week, were praising the propaganda minister of a regime that runs concentration camps and executes people with anti-aircraft guns. These same journalists who have baselessly claimed Trump is an aspiring dictator are now shrieking for him to “do something!” and act like actual dictator. It’s disgusting what the mainstream media has devolved into.
Go ahead and amend the United States Constitution to repeal the second amendment through the lawful process to do so.
I’ll be doing everything in my power to prevent that from happening (via contacting congresspeople, giving money to candidates, etc), but at least you’re talking about doing this the “right” way.
Own up to their responsibility for creating the society we have; none on the left are ever to blame. Dr. Spock (and all the “red diaper doper babies) told us that if we enforce discipline on children we will end up with traumatized and crazy children and teens who will be a menace to society. So, “we” bought into that idea, and removed all the limits. Now we have the very children we were warned about.

Ralph: I just want to say one word to you. Just one word.
RF: Yes, sir.
Ralph: Are you listening?

Ralph: Plastics.

If we can take away someone doesn’t “need” but ‘wants’ this would be a very different country.
There are plenty of other countries out there to move to if you like that. Ones without, say, a Constitution.
So…
A coach and jROTC saved students by confronting the shooter, and protecting the targets. They weren’t armed; 17 kids dies anyway.
Same week, a highschool-age kid responded to three masked guys who opened fire on him with his AR-15. The only person hurt is one of the BGs.
How many could the coach & jROTC have saved if they had been allowed to be armed. Does anyone want to say these guys, who died protecting their friends, can’t be trusted with a gun?
