During Wednesday's White House listening session, President Trump told survivors of last week's Florida school shooting that he
supported allowing teachers to carry concealed firearms to protect their students.On Thursday morning, Trump reiterated his position on Twitter:
If Trump is serious about making his proposal a reality, Congress first needs to repeal the Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1990 (GFSZA). Although the bill was overturned by the Supreme Court in
United States v. Lopez (1995),
a revised version of the law still serves as the primary federal legal basis for barring teachers or other school staff from carrying legally owned guns on school grounds (or anywhere within 1000 feet of them).There are exceptions to the law that already exist, however, and they are not insignificant. The most notable of these is an original GFSZA provision that allows local schools to approve individual adults to carry firearms in their school zones.
According to a 2013 investigation by NBC News, 18 states have laws taking advantage of this exception. Most of these states require prospective firearm carriers to get explicit written permission from a school board, school trustees, a superintendent, or a principal in order to carry guns in school.
And yet, in spite of such regulations being on the books, most of America's mass shootings targeting primary or secondary schools have occurred after the 1990 law or its 1996 update went into effect. Using
the FBI definition of a mass shooting as any single incident in which four or more people are killed by a shooter, there appear to be eight such shootings at K-12 schools in the United States:
Sandy Hook Elementary (2012) - 26 killed (at the school)Stoneman Douglas High School (2018) - 17 killedColumbine High School (1999) - 13 killedStockton Elementary School (1989) - 5 killedWestside Middle School (1998) - 5 killedWest Nickel Mines School (2006) - 5 killedLindhurst High School (1992) - 4 killedMarysville-Pilchuck High School (2014) - 4 killed(Two other mass shootings that took place only partly in a school setting have been omitted from this list, namely
the Thurston High School shooting (1998) and
the Montefiore School shooting (1988); both resulted in four dead victims.)
The three most deadly shootings from this list, including this year's Florida mass shooting at Stoneman Douglas,
all happened after GFSZA passed, and only one shooting happened before it became law.This data strongly suggests that if legislators want to actually solve the problem of mass shootings in our nation's schools, they must
think beyond a narrow approach that relies on restricting Americans' Second Amendment rights and do something that actually deters evil or mentally people from targeting our schools in the first place.

"Among its revelations is the discovery of the 21-page FEMA manual for the drill, with a rehearsal taking place on 13 December 2012, going LIVE on teh 14th."
"What was widely reported as a school massacre in which 20 children and six adults were murdered by a young man named "Adam Lanza" was a FEMA drill to promote gun control, where no one died, as even officials in the Department of Education have acknowledge to a LA school safety expert."
"In other photos, you can see the perps drilling holes in one of the windows of the classroom to simulate bullet holes, which are at exacct 90* angles and perfectly parallel. Another from inside the classroom shows the aluminum splayed out into the classroom, opposite what would have been the case had they been real."
"The manual appears as an appendix to the book and explains why there was a sign, "Everyone must check in!", bottled water and pizza cartons, Port-a-Potties on site, many wearing name tags on lanyards and parents bringing children to the scene, which makes sense for a rehearsal but not for an actual child-shooting massacre.
Anomalies that have bothered many students--no surge of EMTs into the building, no string of ambulances to rush bodies to hospitals, no Med-Evac helicopters, no evacuation of 469 students, no bodies on the triage tarps--are now explicable. None of that happened because no children had been shot. Cars in the lot were even wrongly pointed facing the school, because it was easier to load them for the drill."

Get the point? Same fake BS nearly everytime.. 9-11 was just a bigger op with a need for a body count.
