I haven't written directly on this subject before, but it has been raising it's ugly head in American Politics ever since the Columbine (CO) school shooting. Since that time, there have been a number of other school shootings, most, if not all, perpetrated by teen boys with horrible parents, with most of those parents being Liberals. The Liberals have seized upon these shootings (note that I do NOT subscribe to any theory that Liberals planned and executed them) to further their forever goal of removing the Second Amendment of the US Constitution, so as to disarm the populace and prevent the ONE method of keeping the Constitution alive which the Founders all agreed upon, the use of citizens' arms to remove tyrants from power.
The method the Liberal (New World Order) Establishment has focused on to achieve this treasonable Liberal end is to use the victims of the school shootings, the child-victims, as martyrs for their Constitution-wrecking agenda. Invariably, within minutes to a few hours of each shooting, the Liberal Establishment "dances in the blood" of the child victims by using them as martyrs even before their parents were properly notificed in some instances. Of course, those aggrieved parents are NEVER given a prior right of refusal to have their child's life and now death used in this manner for this brand of Treason.
The Liberal Establishment may have realized that after 10 years, and especially after the Parkland, FL shooting last year, a shooting in which most, if not all the victims should still be alive were it not for the cowardice of first-responding officers and their commanders, a new strategy has arisen in Liberal-run States.
That strategy is to use high-school kids to carry the Liberals' anti-2A message. That's right, the Liberals have adopted the ancient practice of using kids for Human Shields, so now they have kids "writing" various 2A-infringing laws.
My response to this? I wrote it on Facebook, and it's re-published here:
I'll accept the gun-banning teens' enthusiasm for this subject in SB-501 (Oregon Legislation) when and if: (1) The teens take a comprehensive test on our Constitution, including the Bill of Rights, and pass it. (2) Show me PREVIOUS writings and/or dissertations and discussions of THEIRS (not plagiarized or ghost-written) suggesting that they do, in fact, understand how History shows that ALL new dictatorships begin their evils by arising from a disarmed populace. (3) They list ALL their adult influencers from age 10 onwards.
We all know that the gun-banning teens are not only simple tools of those adult politicians who would ban a Natural human and ALSO Federal Enumerated Right, but do so in a completely DISHONORABLE way, acting knowingly as Human Shields for adult politicians of the socialist/communist stripe who would overthrow this constitutional Republic. Excuse me, ARE NOW overthrowing this constitutional Republic.
Using children as human shields is not new, but up to now in THIS society, it has ALWAYS been held to be an extreme moral failing. Isn't it time we defenders of the 2A (and next, the rest of the B.O.R.) stand as one and correctly call out the EVIL adults who hide behind these children and their previous PRESUMPTION of innocence in order to achieve an immoral AND treasonous end?
State Senator Laurie Monnes-Anderson (D - 25), YOU are an immoral and Treason-wielding politician, as you hide not only behind the presumed innocence of Children in order to wreck the Constitution you have SWORN an Oath to uphold, but you hide also behind the credentials and good works of the Nursing profession as you do your grisly work to begin the worst Civil War the world will have seen since Red China was formed. Shame on you, Senator! /end of post
Yes, in the paragraph above, I accuse a State Senator (MY State Senator, btw) of extreme immorality and Treason. I also accuse her and all of those Liberals working hard to end our right to Keep and Bear Arms of Treason. Of course, on the way to that Treason, they have ALL committed a violation of 18 USC 241 and 18 USC 242, relating to taking substantial steps to prevent use of or remove a guaranteed Civil Right.
Yes, there is going to be a Civil War fought over this. It might be a short war, resulting only in a few victims, politicians mostly. It could also be a VERY bloody and long Civil War, perhaps in the end being fought to eliminate the entire class of people who support this Liberal agenda. One thing I know about war after having served during three of them: once one gets started, very few of them actually stay within the boundaries of the reasons under which they started.
Personally, I would expect it to be a short war - most liberals don't have the guts for it.

I have an idea that might have some bearing on why cops have gotten so cowardly over the last couple of decades.
In the latter 90's, I talked with a few cops at a gathering of shooters and trainers. They got to bitching about how they had to hide being members of the gun culture to enable getting past the entrance exams of the various police forces when they first applied to become cops. They had been warned, by people they knew on the forces, to try to get around this gate-keeping. They pointed out that most applicants wouldn't know about it, or were already tagged as gun people, and so would never make it onto the forces in populated areas.
This situation arose due to politicians deciding they didn't want their cops to be gun friendly. I'm not sure when this began, but I'm guessing early 90's, during the big push for gun bans and such. Maybe earlier, it didn't occur to me to ask about a timeline.
After the release of the FL school shooting report, Greg Ellifritz of Active Response Training remarked that he estimated that probably 95% of the police students that he had trained in Active/Mass Shooting classes since the big CO school shooting in '99 would do the same as the Coward County deputies. Merely show up and perhaps set up a perimeter around the place, but not enter.
Of course having a weapon doesn't instill bravery, but those who deliberately take it up may be more inclined toward that mindset than those who merely have it issued along with the other belt gear they are required to tote around. They should also be a lot more accomplished with their use, especially if they shoot on their own time, are hunters, or competitors.
*************
I've seen this sort of non-action locally. A burglary team hit my friend's house across the street about 11am this year. No car in the drive, as he was running an errand, but his 10yo daughter was home. She called him, he told her to call 911, and then he called me. I was sleeping in due to a bad night, and the phone was not in my bedroom. About a dozen officers turned up and set up a perimeter around his place, but not on it. None entered, even though the girl was talking to dispatch while the BG's were trying to break down the door she was hiding behind. No code 3 by arriving officers, as that would have woken me, and I would have gone in myself. They eventually caught two of the three, after having to call out a dog to find one. The other fell into a pool.
They found their abandoned kitchen knives in the yard.
I'm really pissed that I missed his call, although I realize that the later arriving officers would possibly have constituted the biggest threat to me. Fortunately she wasn't hurt.
