Democrats come out against ‘hardening schools’ and mandated reporting of threats and assault to school staff

This is just bizarre. After last week’s horrible murder spree at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, the left has been pushing gun control hard. pResident Biden did so on Memorial Day in a tasteless display of grandstanding and a complete lack of knowledge of history;

President Joe Biden pushed for more gun control on Monday, even though it was Memorial Day, a national patriotic holiday.

“The Constitution, the Second Amendment was never absolute,” Biden said to reporters.

The president spoke to reporters about gun control as he returned to Washington, DC, from Delaware for Memorial Day ceremonies.

Biden falsely claimed again that Americans were unable to purchase a cannon when the Second Amendment was passed, despite being repeatedly fact-checked as false by even the Washington Post and Politifact.

“You couldn’t buy a cannon when the Second Amendment was passed and you couldn’t go out and purchase a lot of weapons,” he said.

Biden recalled a briefing he had when he was a senator on bullet calibers and the damage they caused to the human body.

“The 22 caliber bullet will lodge in the lungs and we can get it out,” Biden said. “A 9 mm bullet blows the lung out of the body.”

“The idea of a high caliber weapon, there is no rationale for it in terms of self-protection, hunting,” he said.

Biden also referred to a quote from Thomas Jefferson who said “the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants,” tying it in with his argument about the Second Amendment.

“There was a while there, where people were saying, you know, the tree of liberty is watered with the blood of patriots, and what we have to do is to be able take on the government when they are wrong,” Biden said.

Biden argued in order for citizens to hold the government accountable with equal levels of force, Americans would have to own a fighter jet or a tank.

“To do that you need an F-15, you need an Abrams tank,” he said, suggesting it was an outrageous idea.

Last time he said that you’d need an F-15 to stand up to the US government, he made a veiled threat of using nukes on our own citizens. Antifa, BLM, and the rioters who breached the capitol last year all recently proved that you do not need such weapons to breach or, in the case of BLM, destroy government buildings.

With the background that we need more “common sense” gun regulations, none of which in the past have ever done anything at all to curb violent crime from firearms, we find that Democrats’ talking points don’t actually include making schools safer through defensive measures.

The White House Press Secretary (the latest serial liar and conspiracy theorist to hold the position) set the President’s position clearly on the matter;

President Joe Biden does not support “hardening schools” against potential school shooters following the massacre at a Texas elementary school last week, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said on Tuesday.

“I know there’s been conversation about hardening schools, that is not something he believes in,” Jean-Pierre told reporters at a White House press conference. “He believes that we should be able to give teachers the resources to be able to do their job.”

Jean-Pierre’s comments came as Biden has promised to meet with congressional leaders about possible bipartisan legislation to address gun violence after an 18-year-old gunman killed 19 students and two adults in the shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde.

Led by Democrat Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut, a bipartisan group of 10 senators is hoping to negotiate a gun proposal during the Senate’s upcoming recess — with ideas including expanded background checks or red flag laws that keep guns out of the hands of potentially dangerous people.

Republican lawmakers have been supportive of “hardening” schools by providing money for more security resources, law enforcement officers or even arming teachers.

Murphy told The Associated Press on Thursday that he was “open” to increasing school security, however, Democrats have been steadfast against providing weapons to teachers. They’ve also argued that heightened security alone does not go far enough to protect students.

The President said Monday he hadn’t yet spoken with Republican leaders about areas of potential compromise — despite the fact that a week had passed since the tragedy.

More on that moron at the NY Post. Similarly, just two days after the tragic wholesale slaughter of little kids in Uvalde, the California State Senate passed a bill that would no longer make reports of threats or actual assaults to school staff something that must be reported to law enforcement. It would now be optional. As would reports to LE about students who bring BB guns, airsoft guns, or bladed weapons to school. This from the state that required all children in the state to wear masks to school for well over a year. Even once it was painfully obvious that children were not affected by COVID, that the masks did little if anything to help prevent infection, and that they were harmful to the development of children (speech therapists have reported seeing 300+% increases in the need for their services).

Read the text of the bill here. California continues to make crime legal, then gets all astonished when there’s lots of crime.

I won’t say all Democrats don’t actually care about protecting our kids, because I do believe that many rank-and-file Democrats are good people (who I just happen to disagree with). It is readily apparent though that the top Democrats in this country do not care. They are, just as Robert Francis O’Rouke did at Governor Abbott’s press conference last week, using this tragedy to further divide the country and to push gun control. There’s nothing but lip service being given to actually trying to prevent further tragedy, because as Obama’s former chief of staff and former Mayor of Chicago Rahm Emanuel said it best, “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste.”

Without crises, they couldn’t shove their unpopular, anti-freedom policies down everyone’s throats.
