(22,670 posts)You raise them and protect them as best you can. But hanging like a dark cloud over every school student is the fear that one or two bad apples will brandish an assault rifle with hundreds of rounds of ammunition and mass murder whomever crosses their path.
Horrifying, the environment in our country the NRA and GOP have created!

The 2nd day of school this year, his school went into lockdown over a threat made by a student who claimed he had a long gun hidden at school. My kid was texting me from room 335 third floor. He was asking me if it got bad, should he jump out the window or not. I almost cant type this. I only have this one child.

(36,819 posts)Will there be another Alex Jones claiming it's a hoax?
And his supporters who want to protect their guns more than protecting the children.
He would not make the hoax claim if he was not making money from his supporters.
