Sheila Jackson Lee with a good idea???

[petegz28]

So this morning on the way to work I am listening to the local talking head sorta making fun of Lee for an idea she had for safety in schools. Truth be told she wasn't far off from what I think is a great idea.

Her idea:

Door to buzz into the school with bulletproof glass. = very acceptable
Steel doors on classrooms that drop down when an alarm goes off. = I have a slight variation on that.

My suggestion is replace classroom doors with steel doors. You can put wood veneer on it or whatever to make it appealing to the eye but nonetheless a steeldoor with a bulletproof glass window.

Then you install locks that are remotely activated. These are not uncommon. If an alarm is triggered the locks automatically engage thus securing the kids behind a locked steel door with bulletproof glass.

I think this is a very good idea and have to commend her for at least mentioning solutions and not saying "take guns away" in the same sentence.

We need a steel door that drops and locks when that nut bag walks into her office.

(Doors lock down)

Psycho looks around, pulls out a gallon of gas and matches. Trapped kids in a burning building sounds like a great idea.

The only lucid aspect about the entire OP is the question marks behind the title.

The only good thing to have ever came out of that ****'s mouth is, well nothing actually. She is a ****ing disgrace to this country.

FYP

Are we going to put a bulletproof dome over the playground too?

[petegz28]

I know it's easy to make fun of Lee, however I think the variation I have is a good idea and much better than "ban all assault weapons"

The fact that you'd choose turning every American school into Fort Knox rather than give up assault weapons (while childishly fearing they're going to take your guns away) shows exactly where your priorities lie.

So you think she is just trolling.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised either way.

Yeah, dipshit. One has a much better chance of working than the other. In fact, the school district I am working for has automatic locking doors should the panic alarm be set off.

Giving up assault weapons is a utopian dream dumb ****s like you think would fix everything.

Obviously you are implying that assault weapons are more dangerous than high-caliber handguns, and that if only those could be made illegal, none of this would be necessary. They aren't You are completely 100% wrong on this. They are actually LESS dangerous, at close range, than handguns, and we're lucky these psychos are being drawn to these scary-looking guns.

An AWB would, oddly, increase the danger, not reduce it, because they'd start using the weapons which are deadlier and more effective and which they would be using in the first place if they knew what they were doing.

Barbara Boxer of all people came up with a good idea regarding gun violence, that I agree with.

Give money to states to help pay for using national guard troops in schools. When not deployed overseas, and national emergencies and disasters aside, the national guard isn't really being used for much anyway. The national guard is apparently receptive to the idea too, claiming they are ready for it if called on.

edit: Boxer also has a bill to increase funding for school security (Cameras and metal detectors)

The politicians are not stupid, well not most of them. They know that the assault weapons ban is a stupid, idiotic, useless law. The only reason why there's any movement in that direction is because the uninformed left keeps crying about them, somehow believing they are deadlier than any other legal gun, and the politicians are just responding to voters.

The AWB probably wont pass though, and most of the politicians are genuinely interested in doing something that might actually work, like this.
