I read about that yesterday and still can’t stop laughing about that “plan”
The parents and students think it’s a good idea too. One student said something like “It’s better than fighting back with pencils and books”....
Then again, maybe my expectations are too high. This is the same generation that was posting online videos of themselves eating laundry detergent not that long ago...

...unless the alternative is a book or a pencil.
Back in my wicket keeping days, I reckon I could have scored a head shot with a cricket ball sized rock at 20yds 99% of the time no problem. |

Who knows?
Still beats a book or a pencil.
I don't advocate rocks vs guns but unless & until this BS about "gun free school zones" is flushed down the sewer, it at least gives the kids something to fight back with (I don't advocate arming kids at school but armed staff are OK in my book - if it's the price to pay for freedom from oppression). |

Is there a sling in there with those rocks?
A box of loaded guns would excite those kids more than rocks.
Most teachers throw like little girls.
A big box of loaded 12 gauge pump shotguns.
I think I will manufacture a new 10 round semi-auto shotgun and name it rock after the apostle Peter. It will put the fear of the Lord into a bad guy in a school.

Paul there are fully auto .12ga out there now......no way in hell a man could face that down at under 100 yards and survive, you just need Johny on the spot to use it properly.

If I had a kid enrolled in a school district and their solution was to have the kids throw rocks in an active shooter situation instead of actually addressing the the “real” problem, I would remove the child from the school immediately.
I could go on typing for hours with my thoughts on this topic, but don’t want to get too political in this forum....

We can thank crazy azz “Uncle” Joe Biden for the gun free zones...
How’s that been working out so far??

About as well as that old chestnut, "Thou shalt not murder".
Of course introducing new laws will fix all the problems..................not.

Probably doubled the number of deaths from what it would have been. |
