USA – -(Ammoland.com)- In the last few days of the Indiana General Assembly I was in one of the final conference committees.
This one was concerning school safety; it was one of the bills we have to go back in special session in May for because it did not get voted on. During the committee the terms, “school safety and keeping kids safe in school”, became a steady drone during the discussion.
At some point a notion came to mind and afterwards when I returned to my office I asked my staff, two very fine young men in their twenties, both shooters, to come to my office because I had something I wanted to say to them.
When they sat down I began by saying that given their young age that sometime soon in their lifetime the question will be posed:
“What is more important, the safety of kids in school or what some people think is their Second Amendment or their so called right to own guns.”
I then said that those who will be in positions to answer that question will be the generations that are coming of age. I asked them what they think the answer to that question will be. The three of us discussed the issue for a while and then they returned back to their desks. About three minutes later my legislative assistant, who was one of the two I spoke of, brought my mail to me. In it was a two page letter mailed from Waterloo, Iowa.
The letter was made to look as though it was from my district in Vanderburgh County. The interesting part was in the body of the letter where the sentence appeared posing the very question I spoke of. Timing?
Two days ago, this past Friday morning, after observing the adults in the lives of school kids parading these kids outside the walls of those schools for demonstrations I felt compelled to write a question to Indiana’s Superintendent of Education. Here is that question:
“How is it permissible for school corporations, superintendents, principals, and teachers, to parade these students around outside of the school building, in concentrated formations, for protests and demonstrations when they should be in the classroom during school hours? I have heard reports of some unsavory individuals appearing in these crowds that might not have any direct connections to the school? Who bears responsibility should something tragic happen at one of these demonstrations?”
I even called an investigative reporter I’ve come to trust to pose this question to him. I felt there would be a story on this behavior. Little could I have imagined that on that very day a tragic accident would happen in Texas.
Foolishiness knows no boundaries. Will this tragedy be the fault of some national firearm organization? Should we demonstrate for the ban of Ford 150 pickup trucks? We have some school superintendents in some states requiring 5-gallon buckets of rocks be placed in closets of classrooms for teachers and students to throw at an active shooter.
Some are arming teachers with 16-inch long plastic bats and teaching them how to use them in such a crisis.
The injudicious and irresponsible manipulation by those in authority over the captive adolescence in this country’s learning institutions is reprehensible. This past week I myself accepted an invitation to a local high school to witness first hand such activity. I was not disappointed in what I suspected it would be.

I’m told Monday, April 23 2018 the Evansville City Council will once again discuss the resolution to urge the Indiana General Assembly to adopt stronger gun laws. The meeting I believe will start at 5 PM at the Civic Center downtown.
This coming Saturday will be the next 2nd Amendment Patriot meeting. We are planning on Indiana State Senator Victoria Spartz to speak about her experience growing up in the Ukraine. Given the current events it seems as though many in this country are hoping to make America such a country.

“Who Agreed to Have Our Kids Used as Pawns for Gun Control?”
Adolescence is a false construct of the 20th century. They’re not kids. They need an adult sized ass woopin’
For those who do not know, the school district in question (Ysleta Independent School District) is reasonably supportive of gun rights. On at least one other campus pro gun students held counter demonstration with equal support as the anti gun protestors. It is ironic that the boy killed was a student at Parkland Middle School.
Education Officaldom or Officaldumb, whichever you find more appropriate needs to be send back to retake the basic course, which they either absented themselves from or slept through. The basic course being the one that teaches that criminals and terrorist types tend not to obey the laws that the rest of us live by. Additionally, the mentally deficient, most of whom are non- violent, are not held responsible for their actions, but must still be guarded against. Disarming the sane, the responsible, the law abiding, is a path or course of section that should not be taken
This is true about the schools taking responsibility when they want to push an agenda about guns. But in turn since 1999 Columbine all of the great leaders have kicked the can down the to do anything about school security, this is only a suggestion as to get them moving on that issue. In 2001 after the World Trade disaster the T S A was formed and all of the Airports had security set up within a month of that happening, why can’t this be done in all of the schools, because the great leaders don’t want to offend anybody.… Read more »

Who bears the legal responsibility? Did the parents give permission for their child to participate? This appears to be a school sanctioned activity therefore the school system is responsible for the safety of the students and may be in a very tenuous legal position if sued.
This is exactly why we don’t allow children to play in the streets and had he been sitting in the classroom being taught what was needed instead of feelings then he would be alive.
Oh, but then he would have learned nasty stuff like the second amendment and the reason it was important then and more so now. We certainly wouldn’t want that to happen now, would we?
But then again, they aren’t being taught that in school by ‘progressive’ teachers. So, maybe it’s not such a bad idea to let the little ‘hoggs’ play in the streets. “Survival of the fittest”.
First: What we need is another (HUAC) House Un-American Activities Committee. A brother committee on the senate side would enable conservatives to weed out the Marxists and any amongst the ranks. Do it in the states also. Same political process. Make them give allegiance as written or fire them.
Second: De-Institutionalization of Government.
Patton was right!!!… So was McCarthy (a little too zealous) but right as proven in ‘1994’.
The NEA is made up of Communist’s they set the agenda that the unions staff enacts,think the NEA is something to scoff at think again.the NEA make the AFLCIO during the Hoffa years look like a bunch of pikers.
