    2nd Amendment thread

    My guess is that she was outside, with the door propped open by the rock. She saw the shooter, panicked, pulled open the door, and ran inside without kicking the rock out of the way. By the time she realized her mistake, it was far too late.

    2nd Amendment thread

    It's possible that the shooter saw the open door when he first arrived and headed straight towards it, assuming it would be unlocked. Or it is possible that the door was never actually closed in the first place. The teacher saw someone with a gun headed towards her, panicked, and ran. It is...

    2nd Amendment thread

    What she specifically did was prop open the door with a rock. Then when the shooter came on campus, she claims she kicked away the rock and closed the door, but it didn't lock. (Probably because there were still flakes or dirt from the rock in the bottom of the door frame that prevented it...

    2nd Amendment thread

    It's all bluster at this point. I predict that not a single legislative measure for limiting access to firearms will get an ounce of traction. Legislation to further harden schools against attackers may get approved, however. The MSM made its mistake by obsessing over the failure of Uldave...

    2nd Amendment thread

    It's a good essay, but the author's reasoning has some gaps. There are different types of force, some of which a personal weapon are essentially useless against. For example, consider economic force. If I suddenly find that my access to the use of the Internet and the use of credit cards has...

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    You're not wrong. Trump really screwed the pooch. He is (in my opinion) directly responsible for the Georgia senate victories by the Democrats. Trump had every right to file suits challenging the results of the state elections. And he also had good reason to suspect hanky-panky in the whole...

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    Only to a point. The media can't spin the price of gasoline doubling if Biden bans fracking and offshore drilling. Nor can it spin employers telling their employees, "We have to lay you off because we can't afford to pay the costs of the new regulations imposed by the Department of Labor."...

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    It hardly matters at this point. Too many people want a particular narrative to be true, therefore it will be true. There is no way any court cases will make it through the system before the meeting of the Electoral College. What will happen is that over the next few months you'll see...

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    Four years ago, I would have agreed with your assessment about Democratic strategy. But I think the party has gone too far off the deep end since 2020. When you have senior party officials seriously talking about a fundamental restructuring of our government and economy, it's not just word...

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    Agreed. Like many, I'm disappointed with the way the presidential election is turning out. Is voter fraud going on? No doubt. It was inevitable with the mail-in ballots. You've got states like California where someone can walk in the door of the election office carrying a sack of filled...
