That is Colion Noir, he’s excellent. He’s a lawyer, gun rights activist and he’s with the NRA.
I endorse everything he said; but then, I’m also in the NRA and a gun rights activist, so that makes sense!

What has more metal, a tablet or a glock?
MORE gov’t employees with guns, eh?
Why does anyone send their kids to gov’t run shooting galleries?

Been following Colion for about three years. Found him off a link at Hickok45. This is his most brilliant statement by far. He’s hated by all the right people.
I am thinking @ how the govt failed so miserably at Parkland that it makes our argument for us. The FBI, which is the highest echelon law enforcement in the nation, and the sheriff’s dept., who are the most local authority, failed utterly. The school already was under a total gun ban, I am sorry to say.
My point is that the best echelon for defense is a personal one. The kids themselves are probably 99% incapable of that level of responsibility (perhaps in the Fifties, there may’ve been 10% capable of this in Florida, and perhaps 15-25% so capable in Wyoming and North Dakota), and so that leaves the closest level of responsibility with the administration and the teachers.
There are military veterans on the staffs of every school in America. We are such fools for resisting the plain answer to school defense, and it is because of the liberal mindset that brooks nothing short of total disarmament of the population as the only answer. While they’re at it, the libs may as well go out and sweep up all of the stars in the universe; such is their level of OCD. These are the people who walk down the street in NYC, and pick up every piece of garbage they run into. It’s their job, you see.
If you think I’m joking, consider their approach to global weather. They know exactly what will happen, and they have all the answers for the weather. BTW, how is your thinking today on the races? What are your thoughts on women? Homosexuals? The Left is particularly interested in what you think today.
Oh. I forgot. We need to defend our kids in school…

Jordan Peterson makes Casey’s point eloquently, and understands profoundly the personality damage that causes leftists to project their inadequacies onto everybody else. Absolutely not to be missed.

This is an excellent rational look at the current frenzy to bring more insanity into our lives.
BUT, let me tell you my take on liberal thought. Since the liberal’s currently being mentioned solution to the abundance of noxious addictive drugs is to de-criminalize them, I am waiting for Pelosi or Maxi Pad to make a crazy eyed statement about how we need to de-criminalize murders in school and how that will stop them!

You need people with guns at the point of attack. Metal detector, yeah. That will create a line at the metal detector. The killer will kill the kids standing in line. Because you are 100% correct, these guys are thinking and planning and adapting and kids are always late to school, lines will form, target of opportunity.
We all need to be a hard target. Don’t get me wrong because I think youre right. But metal detectors are not the answer. The only answer is us taking the responsibility to protect ourselves and those we are responsible for at the point of attack. Guvment has demonstrated in the Parkland shooting that it is not up to the task. We are.
Please note that the (witch) governor of Oregon has signed a new law where Oregon can now confiscate your firearm if it is “dangerous.” That’s right; no due process (FISA-like) and you’re effed of your 2A rights if someone, even a cop, gets an overnight kangaroo judgement based on the simple fact that your firearm goes pow.
I was discussing this with my smart wife and she made the observation that the application of this will be to go after the marginals. That means, people outside of the I-5 and Portland corridor; ranchers, hayseeds, conservatives. The state will pick off members of the herd that straggle.
There are 2 sets of laws. The ones for liberals, and the ones for Americans. Learn it. Live it. Love it.
This old anvil laughs at many broken hammers.
There are men who can’t be bought.
The fireborn are at home in fire.
The stars make no noise.
You can’t hinder the wind from blowing.
Time is a great teacher.
Who can live without hope?
In the darkness with a great bundle of grief
the people march.
In the night, and overhead a shovel of stars for
keeps, the people march:
“Where to? what next?”
— Carl Sandburg
Stone-cutters fighting time with marble, you foredefeated
Challengers of oblivion
Eat cynical earnings, knowing rock splits, records fall down,
The square-limbed Roman letters
Scale in the thaws, wear in the rain. The poet as well
Builds his monument mockingly;
For man will be blotted out, the blithe earth die, the brave sun
Die blind and blacken to the heart:
Yet stones have stood for a thousand years, and pained
thoughts found
The honey of peace in old poems.
— Robinson Jeffers

from Preludes
His soul stretched tight across the skies
That fade behind a city block,
Or trampled by insistent feet
At four and five and six o’clock;
And short square fingers stuffing pipes,
And evening newspapers, and eyes
Assured of certain certainties,
The conscience of a blackened street
Impatient to assume the world.
I am moved by fancies that are curled
Around these images, and cling:
The notion of some infinitely gentle
Infinitely suffering thing.
Wipe your hand across your mouth, and laugh;
The worlds revolve like ancient women
Gathering fuel in vacant lots.
— Eliot
Ferreya
Song of Myself
I CELEBRATE myself, and sing myself,
And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.
I loafe and invite my soul,
I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass.
My tongue, every atom of my blood, form’d from this soil, this
air,
Born here of parents born here from parents the same, and their
parents the same,
I, now thirty-seven years old in perfect health begin,
Hoping to cease not till death.
— Walt Whitman
from Canto CXV BY EZRA POUND
The scientists are in terror
and the European mind stops
Wyndham Lewis chose blindness
rather than have his mind stop.
Night under wind mid garofani,
the petals are almost still
Mozart, Linnaeus, Sulmona,
When one’s friends hate each other
how can there be peace in the world?
Their asperities diverted me in my green time.
A blown husk that is finished
but the light sings eternal
a pale flare over marshes
where the salt hay whispers to tide’s change
Time, space,
neither life nor death is the answer.
And of man seeking good,
doing evil.
In meiner Heimat
where the dead walked
and the living were made of cardboard.
“From a student radical/hippie/leftist of the Free Speech Movement/Vietnam Day Commitee era and a full-on Democratic Liberal in the decades after, I think I’ve evolved a politics that is neither right nor left but is, in its elemental nature, draconian. In the last 20 years, I’ve taken apart my beliefs with a sledgehammer. Now I’ve got to put the surviving parts back together with tweezers and other ‘shabby equipment, always deteriorating’.”
