Is it a good idea to entrust the National Rifle Association with a role in shaping safety policies for schools?There are various reasons for answering that question in the negative (gun industry profits, for example) but a fresh one became evident on Tuesday when the NRA unveiled its plan for securing schools from shooters: Its strategy includes the use of phony evidence.The centerpiece of the NRA-funded "Report of the National School Shield Task Force" is putting armed guards in America's K-12 schools.Deep into the 225-page report, a section on securing buildings makes the case for doing away with classroom windows that may be vulnerable to armed attackers. It cites a mass murder from three years ago:For example, in 2010 a 16-year-old attacker killed six people hiding in a locked classroom in Hastings Middle School in Minnesota by shooting and subsequently stepping through a tempered glass window that ran vertically alongside the classroom door.Horrifying—except it never happened. Here's what actually happened in 2010 at Hastings Middle School in Minnesota:
they are showing their right wing colors out right lies that can be fact checked whether they want to go by them or not, the truth is out there, they know it their arrogant lies fall right in line with what we saw in 2012 campaign and after by republican lie until you are called out then lie some more.
Brandishing a loaded handgun at teachers and students in at least two Hastings Middle School classrooms Monday, an eighth-grade student spread terror but fired no shots before being tackled and subdued by a school police officer."It was the closest thing to a school shooting without firing a gun," said Michael McMenomy, Hastings police chief. "We don't know whether he didn't want to shoot or whether the gun jammed."Confronting one locked door, the student used the gun to break out a pane of glass, thrust his arm through the opening and unlocked the door. Again he pointed the gun at the class, but fled without shooting.But whatever the case, the bad info shows that the NRA is unreliable when it comes to assessing mass gun violence.
they are worried their crap is smelling like everybody else's and the crown is tarnishing, if you have a good truthful cause you don't have to embellish, hell out right lie to give it some credibility, they forget it's impossible to defend that which is not indefensible.
