If you think a school should be armed for active shooters then do you also think that places of worship of all faiths should have the same?
Simple…ANY location - public or private- that does not allow it’s occupants to provide for their own self defense should be required ( by legal requirement, insurance rates, or social pressure ) to provide sufficient, on site, defensive security to all of those occupants….In a school with an occupant population who are legally unable to provide self defense due to maturity, strength, ability, and legal age limits the school should sufficient armed security at dispersed tactical locations…A place of worship, a special condition due to respect for diverse religious beliefs, should be allowed to make group security decisions…. A fath based occupancy is composed of adult members who can decide their group defensive needs. Members who find the decision of the group to be unsatisfactory ARE FREE TO LEAVE…That US citizens like all people have a human right to personal safety and to life is self evident. Taking away that right of self defense should be abhorrent to anyone - ABHORRENT TO EVERYONE!!! Perhaps an abhorrent decision, but faith based organizations should be free as a group to make dangerous decisions effecting their individual members…
Why do liberals think that guns are bad?
I believe in the principles of nonviolence. That, along with prudence, reasonable caution, and a little luck has given me a life that has never needed a gun. I will never own one.Many people do not share my views or values, including other Liberals. That's ok. But I feel like I see things much clearer than those who constantly defend owning weapons.A few insights:There are very few actual responsible gun owners out there. In fact, stories of the heartbreaking results of this irresponsibility are in news stories every day. This week especially, has been very bad for two year olds.Gun owners and their delusions of heroism are just about the most ridiculous lie people tell themselves. These bozos think they are some gun slinging cowboy that's going to rush in and save the day. That's some real batshit right there.Turning tightened regulations into a gun ban. If I had a nickel for every time I read this whopper, I'd be buying a mansion right now. Do we really want this low level of intelligence to be owning weapons?Guns as a talisman. Guns are not just another possession, but one that carries tremendous power. America has always had that crazy underbelly of superstition, but this takes it to a whole new level. Irrational fear and paranoia is standard for many here. The growing faith in guns as a safety device, and the more the better, is starting to make people resemble Invasion of the Body Snatchers.Which of course is the goal. Fear, fear, and more fear. I don't want to sound sexist, but men who think guns make them powerful are the most pathetic bunch of losers out there.What is bad is that people don't live in reality. They lie to themselves and build up myths around guns that become part of their identity. It doesn't matter how many children die. They simply don't care. They really do love their guns more than life itself.
Search warrants?
Although it technically isn't necessary because the decedant has "given up his/her expectation of privacy" it is always a good and safe idea to get one anyway. But the law does allow for this. Given the option were I conducting the search...I'd go for the warrant because there doesn't appear to be any exigency here.
