Students At Texas Elementary’s Career Day Shown Photos Of The “Liberal’s Guide To The Deadly AR-15”
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports:
Photos of an AR-15 style rifle, the type of gun used during Tuesday’s mass school shooting in Uvalde, were reportedly shown at a Fort Worth elementary school on Wednesday during what was supposed to be a career day presentation.
According to a Fort Worth schools employee, a Tarrant County Sheriff’s Office deputy presented during a career day event on Wednesday morning at E.M. Daggett Elementary School. The presentation appeared to include pictures of AR-15 rifles, according to a photo shared with the Star-Telegram.
In the photo, an image of a poster titled “A Liberal’s Guide to the Deadly AR-15” is highlighted on Google Images. The poster describes the different components of the rifle. Also seen in the photo is a tab open to the Tarrant County Sheriff’s Office’s website.

The sheriff of Tarrant County, you may recall, sparked outrage in 2019 when he called undocumented migrants “drunks who will run over your children” during a press event at the Trump White House.
Remember: this is fine and totally not indoctrination. Just don’t let teachers make students gay

The next presentation was the liberals guide to Klan rallys and how to recognize the Grand Dragon.

Better having ammosexuals ploting to shoot their fellow classmates. Wouldn’t want them thinking of others with love in their hearts. Got to make sure none of the prissy boys make it to puberty. What a regressive pile of shit this guy is!

This happened in the late 90s to early 2000s/ Several new companies started manufacturing cheaper AR-15s. Sales took off because the prices went down. And Ar-15 could be purchased for as little as $300 at one time. It had been $1000+.
The rifles he used were Daniel Defense brand. Those were fairly expensive. He had money to be able to buy 2 within a couple of days.
Dan Patrick wants Texas to follow Florida’s example and pass a “Don’t say gay” law, but demonstrations about AR-15s are A-OK.
And I thought it was bad when I went to school we had to hide under a wooden desk to prevent death in case of a nuclear bomb. I guess stupidity hasn’t changed much in 60 years.

I remember those days. We even had a sign with instructions on our kitchen wall of siren warnings in case of a nuclear attack. Of course, all our practice in ducking and covering would not have kept us safe. Nor would hiding in our basement.
Nor did all the guards at the school or all the practicing the little children did in Uvalde save them.

Nor did a retired police officer in Buffalo. You know, the “good guy with a gun.”
Oh, so doing a little grooming on behalf of the NRA with our public schools are we?
Walker Proposes “Department That Can Look At Young Men That’s Looking At Women On Their Social Media”
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports:
Twice in recent days Walker has fumbled questions on gun control: In one interview he seemed to suggest monitoring young people’s social media activity, and in another he dodged the question altogether. The topic is sensitive for Walker. Like many Republicans, he is an ardent champion of gun rights. But firearms have also played a big role in his own turbulent personal history.
Walker’s ex-wife, Cindy Grossman, said he repeatedly held a gun to her head and threatened to blow her “brains out.” A Dallas County judge was worried enough about the possibility of violence that in 2005 he temporarily took away Walker’s guns when he granted Grossman a restraining order. Walker has chalked up the violent episodes to a mental illness he said has now been treated.
The Insider reports:
Walker said the focus should be on the shooters, not guns, and decried “people that’s trying to score political points” by pushing for gun control legislation. “We need to get into what happened to him, why, by putting money in mental health. Have people thought about that?” Walker said.
“People see that it’s a person wielding that weapon, you know, Cain killed Abel,” Walker said. “And that’s the problem that we have. And I said, what we need to do is look into how we can stop those things.”
“You talk about doing a disinformation,” Walker continued, “what about getting a department that can look at young men that’s looking at women, that’s looking at their social media? What about doing that, looking into things like that, and we can stop that that way?”

A Simple, If Extremely Difficult Solution: Reduce The Number Of Guns
Jimmy Kimmel on Elementary School Shooting in Uvalde, Texas
One of the best clearest videos on the issue of gun violence in the US and the reasons politicians won’t help. He talks about how in the last three there were armed guards in the schools and the shootings still happened. He talks about how gun control regulations / laws do work and gives examples. He talks about the Republican Texas politicians. Hugs

For those hard of hearing some one in the crowd starts saying “GOP – Guns Of the People” and the crowd picks it up. I had to struggle to understand what Beto was saying but he was saying it was on those in power on the stage, and at this political event where those Republicans are calling for more guns in schools, armed teachers, and chock points of access and exit, calling for making schools into prisons, one guys bellows “I cannot believe you come here to make this political, you sick son of a bitch”! In other words the guy was saying don’t steal out thunder. Hugs
