From the cite, {…} _Critics of the bill say the 24 hours of gun training is too little, especially since police recruits in Ohio have to have at least 60 hours of firearms training._ {…} Also, why do I fear that 0 hours is included in a “maximum of 24 hours”? ---

Not a problem. The grift is already in place. Wanna bet how many “firearms training schools” pop up in the next few weeks? All of them run by honest, God-fearing Republican campaign donors. ---

If that Crazed Psycho entered a room with a loaded gun Hell bent on shooting _someone_ … and if a nine year old girl was on one side… and if Ken Paxton was on the other… . In retrospect, I just can’t finish that post as it might be interpreted as ‘wishing harm or death on someone’. The facts of the case and the aftermath make me very angry though. And very sad. ---

If you are locked in a room with…let’s call them “KP”…and 2 rabid wolves, and your pistol only has 2 rounds left in it, what do you do? The correct answer: Shoot KP twice. ---

Well it will be evidence that we need _more_ guns. That careless teacher should have kept a spare Mossberg or something in the kids’ crayon box, in case of being disarmed. ---

Quite frankly, whenever I see someone armed with a gun who isn’t a police officer, I get very nervous. I’m not even sanguine about seeing “Don’t Tread on Me” license plates, which are legion in Virginia. And I’m 40 years old. Granted, I’m in treatment for schizo-affective disorder, but do you think a 6-year-old is going to have the emotional maturity to handle seeing that every day? ---

Only if it happened in a public school. If it happened in a private school — especially a church school — it was God’s will. ---
