The Air Force never reported the Sutherland Springs First Baptist Church murderer despite his criminal conviction.
The Army never reported Gabby Gifford’s shooter despite his failed drug test. The community college that he attended was scared sh!tless of him but did nothing.
Douglas High School never reported the murderous little puke who gunned down a couple of dozen people, but it did ban his backpack. Way to go!
The mother of the Sandy Hook baby-killer did nothing despite her son’s growing isolation and fascination with mass murder. So, he killed her. Karma?
The Washington Navy Yard killer was cited at least eight times for misconduct while in the Navy, was arrested three times and claimed that he heard voices in his head. His punishment? He was granted a security clearance.
The Aurora theater massacre was committed by a guy who was obviously out of his mind and dangerous, but the University of Colorado psychiatrist who examined him didn’t tell authorities even after the lunatic told her that he fantasized about killing a lot of people.
The Pulse Nightclub shooter had an accomplice, wasn’t shy about his allegiance to ISIS, threatened to shoot his police academy classmates and told co-workers at the security firm (!) that employed him that he wanted to kill people.
The Columbine police were warned about the two shooters by the parent of a potential victim. The shooters were arrested and placed in a diversion program where they successfully conned their case worker. They continued to post threats, which were ignored.
The list can go on and on, but the point is made. People know, but they say nothing. Authorities know, but they do nothing. And people die by the score because politicians know the real problem, but they’d rather score political points by complaining about guns.
If you’re not completely p!ssed off, you should be.
Hatchet in one hand, revolver in the other! No speed loader, must be an 88 magnum!
yep completely agree. bring back mental assylums for the insane, hang draw and quarter those who commit treason (such as obummer, killary and the plethora of high ranking FBI officials that are being uncovered) bring back the stocks for simple crimes and hang the serious offenders mental health problems or not. a week in the stocks with all the grocers providing all their not fit for sale produce along with a few good lashings with a cat’o’nine for simple offenders like shoplifters to a month or so for assault to that followed by public hanging would deter most offenders
Shooting the horse was dumb. That would piss me off and I’d probably wind up in trouble. …:: Man wearing tinfoil hat kicks Donald Trump jr.in the testicles,,,,,twice,
Just another FBI bungle in a long line of them. Remember Richard Jewell (1996 Atlanta Olympics bombing case)? How about Dr. Steven Hatfill (2001 Anthrax mailings case)?
Ahhh…….the good ol’ days of FBI incompetence, back when they would just ruin one innocent man’s life at a time, rather than get 17 high school kids murdered all at once by the high school expellee criminal mastermind working down at the dollar store.
Well, on the positive side, at least the FBI jackholes directly responsible for managing past royal screw-ups, like the Anthrax case, aren’t involved in this investigation. No telling how badly they’d F the crap out of this one. Speaking of said jackholes, where are James Comey and Richard Mueller nowadays? I hope they’re happily retired and haven’t been running any investigations or anything, lately.
Of course banning guns is the answer, Ralph.
You just gotta believe! ????
(If it helps, you can clap your hands.)
Isn’t the islamburg terrorist training site in upstate NY?
And the Trumps are a problem?
Spare me
Exactly, Ralph. See something, say something.
Part of the problem, though, is that sites like TTAG are replete with jackwagons who, in the face of overwhelming evidence of someone being street rat crazy, albeit not necessarily guilty of any specific crime, will nonetheless decry ANY move against such people, arguing that it’s the government policing pre-crime. Well.
Pre-crime or not, as I’ve said in here many a time and oft, if you don’t cull the wackos from society, then a certain percentage of them will act on their violent fantasies or impulses in blood splashing fashion…….and you’ll lose your gun rights in the wake. That’s irrefutable.
It’s coming down to them or us. You persist in letting these crazies walk the streets and it’s just a matter of time before they act, giving crisis exploiting liberals ammunition to legislate away our rights.
I agree let’s just round them up and imprison them for the rest of their lives, or euthanize them; no trial no jury just a medical board straight to execution. It doesn’t matter if they’re American citizens and they’ve committed no crime. It’s for the greater good. After all they’re crazy they have no rights.
You’d do better in 1930’s Germany and the Soviet Union. You need to ask yourself if you really believe in due process and the Constitution yourself; because to me you sound like a raving liberal who screams about how the military needs to come in and deal with gun owners.
Well said, DoomGuy
It means we should all give up our guns because the authorities will protect us, obviously.
“It means we should all give up our guns because the authorities will protect us, obviously.”
Does vigilantly guarding your chalk outline count?
Thank you Sir… It’s always a breath of fresh air to hear your take on these matters…
Was it a mistake or are they doing it on purpose!!! <<< Removing tin helmet now but I really wonder…
I like many here are very tired of the anti/regressives pissing down our necks and telling us that it's raining… We have ample data sets now. Time for mature minded critical thinkers to step up, make a difference and see this through… Mind numbing Political Correctness (or whatever they've re-branded that to be this week) is not worth any lives ESPECIALLY our children’s!!!
A good start would be MUCH more accountability for those handing out SSRI/RSSI drugs like tic tacs…
The more times our system fails, the more I’m willing to strengthening the restriction on gun ownership from people who don’t quite fit into the NICS system, but any reasonable person with their full history would say shouldn’t be granted access to a gun.
What do you all think? What specific changes to the NICS criteria would you be willing to compromise on? I know compromise is generally a non-starter, but to be honest, the more these things happen with no compromise, the crazier the anti-2a folks become and the more public opinion shifts against us…
So, what do we do?
Why is there a hypodermic needle on that sign? Is that supposed to indicate that the revolver is a .357 magnum and therefore on steroids?
Guns AND drugs prohibited!
End the “gun free zone” myth
Have armed school resource officer when possible.

Missouri Legislature authorized school teacher CCW 10 years ago with school board approval.
Missouri Legislature authorized School Protection Officer Training for teachers with 120 hours law enforcement training 4 years ago.
Still no school board approval.
Very well said! The teachers and school staff are already there when an active shooter starts. Seconds count! Please check out the FASTER program at: fastersaveslives.org.
Yeah I’m pissed off. We are kept in the dark about the real facts, nobody is held accountable, our pro gun legislation is sidelined, and then somehow we are threatened with losing more freedom! How the hell does this fly in a world of fully functioning adults? Oh right… I forgot that liberals aren’t fully functioning nor are they adults. F#$in politicians that are supposed to be on our side f&$k us and the Marxist pigs on the other side f+$k us too. Yeah I’m pissed off and yeah my piss is pointed at the whole left and a lot of the so called right.
Somebody please blow this up into 100-point type and plaster it everywhere:
“An unarmed person is just another victim. An armed person is a force who can stop the carnage.”
A club, when empty and a hatchet, a man could do worse….
Hey Ralph, Good article, but one minor correction. At Columbine, the Agency that screwed the pooch was the Jefferson County Sheriffs Office. The lazy ass detective that failed to investigate the complaints about Klebold and Harris. the gutless school resource officer that fled when confronted by the gunmen and the POS libtard Sheriff John Stone, who earned the sobriquet “The Coward of Columbine” for preventing an Ad Hoc entry team from making entry to rescue students early in the incident, they all wore the green Keebler cookie elf uniform of the Jeffco S O. There is no “Columbine” police department in Colorado. There is a Columbine Valley Police Dept, but it is little 3 man caretaker department with no responsibility for Columbine High School, which is in the Jeffco S O’s jurisdiction. They screwed it up, they own it. Let’s give credit where credit is due.

I am a teacher and I am very pleased to see the development of standardized teacher firearms training and certification. Ideally, they would work with school insurance companies to remove that block from allowing teachers to have firearms in states where it is legal.
How are the ham sammidges without bread?
I personally would rather our educators be EDUCATORS.
Asking them to provide security is above and beyond – they are already paid less than a nanny, and more is demanded of them. Asking them to take up arms to protect YOUR children in the event of an active shooter is WAY overboard.
Instead, consider using vetted veterans and/or sheriffs. You don’t need a lot. I’d be willing to bet that an actual armed officer patrolling the halls with his squad car out front would deter 99.9% of these cowards.
At the SAME time, any teacher which possess a CWP from their state should be given the OPTION on whether they want to carry or not. Do not FORCE them to become the saviors.
Lest you think that can’t work – the high school near me has a sheriffs vehicle and armed officer during the day.
Anyone shooting unarmed kids is by definition a coward, and likely easily deterred by the mere presence of someone that has the ability to fight back.
Word…
The girl that wrote that blog is simply an a$$hole. I wish I hadn’t read even the few sentences that I did. We’re all just giving her more traffic and attention than she deserves. Robert does a good job of steering traffic to such people. I’m sure he has a really good reason though.
Still wondering how Paddock got all those guns and ammunition into his suite at the hotel that has enough cameras around to tell if you even so much as drop a hint to your buddy playing blackjack. Where is that investigation going, anyway?
Awww, man! I was going to suggest “WHAT ABOUT A GUN?” They never call on me. Geez.
Before we jump on the “blame the FBI” bandwagon, there are a couple of things to consider.
1. “Communicating a threat” when done in a state, to someone else in the same state, is not within the investigative jurisdiction of the FBI.
2. A school shooting is not within the investigative jurisdiction of the FBI.
3. Not only did the FBI not have any obligation to investigate the threat, but they are legally and procedural prohibited from enforcing state laws, except under very rare circumstances.
4. The FBI receives tens of thousands of tips each year. Let that sink in. How could they react to every single one of them?
See more here: https://www.fbi.gov/about/faqs/where-is-the-fbis-authority-written-down
I will grant that the FBI should have passed the tip to local law enforcement, but I’m not even sure it was seen in time. I don’t recall reading anything about when they first saw the tip.
In any case, let’s not Monday morning quarterback a law enforcement agency. Believe me when I say, as a former Federal Agent, they have more restrictions to their duties than authorities.
Back when every 5th kid belonged to a gang and most of them brought guns to school you never heard of these mass shootings. How to prevent these mass shooters in schools. The minute of the report, roll in with tanks, bustt a hole in the school, pump her full of CS gas and set fire to it. It saved the children at Branch Dravidian so it should work for schoolsi

I just picked up a PMAG Gen3 40 rounder today for use in my Microtech XM17-E4. It required a small amount of hand filing to properly fit my rifle, but i must say that I am very pleased with it thus far……..granted I’ve only used the mag once, but no reliability problems were experienced today during my first range trip using it. I believe I will be looking to acquire more of these magazines!

What i do not realize is actually how you are no
longer actually much more neatly-favored than you might be
right now. You are very intelligent. You know thus considerably with regards to this subject, made me personally imagine it
from so many various angles. Its like men and women aren’t fascinated unless it’s one thing to do with Woman gaga!
Your personal stuffs outstanding. All the time care for it
up!
The Answer? I exist in NY, where I’m kept safer by illegal immigrants, illegal Modern Sporting Arms, illegal police (that didn’t use non-existent 7-round magazines became criminals), and fully-pensioned convicted senior politicians, as well as unconvicted senior politicians that swore to uphold our Constitution. By New-York-blue-state-legislator-thinking, “Just passing another law will not only say I fixed it all, but get me re-elected, too.”
Well reading the NYT was the first mistake. The only thing that rag is good for is using the published edition to wrap fish or wipe your @$S if you run out of toilet paper.
