MissouriNet.com reports on one of many reasons the gun crackdowns aren't going to work in Missouri: NRA says it’s watching Missouri legislation that would strengthen gun control
In fact . . .
WITHOUT DEMOCRATIC PARTY VETO POWER KANSAS CITY INSIDERS SAY THAT THE PROSPECT OF MISSOURI TEACHERS EARNING ADDITIONAL CONCEALED CARRY RIGHTS ARE MORE THAN LIKELY!!!
TPM: Missouri Guv Opposes Bill To Let Teachers Bring Guns To School . . . Tragically, this report doesn't mention that Gov. Jay is pretty much powerless to do anything more than hold press conferences without veto power in an overwhelmingly Red State.

Eat a big bowl, Nixon.
ReplyDeleteWith the NRA paying Moreno to write pro second amendment pieces Nixon is fucked.
ReplyDeleteWhile in Chicago---
ReplyDeleteConsider, for example, the security expenditures made by the Chicago pubic school system. Each of the city’s 69 public high schools has a walk-through metal detector that cost between $2,500 and $3,000 to purchase. The Chicago pubic school system also employs 994 full0-time security personnel who each cost the system around $25,000 per year, in addition to 445 off-duty Chicago police officers who work part-time for the schools at an annual cost of around $15,000 and 140 full-time police officers from the Chicago Police Department’s Youth Division who are permanently assigned to the public schools at an annual cost of around $67,000. The Chicago pubic school system thus spends around $41 million each year for school security personnel, in addition to the costs of purchasing and maintaining metal detectors. While some of these preventive measures would stay in place even if gun misuse was eliminated, since knives and box-cutters will still pose a threat to student safety, the level of expenditures would almost surely be lower in a world without gun violence.
Maybe we'll get lucky and Nixon will just resign and move to Cuba or North Korea.
ReplyDeleteAs two teens recovered from bullet wounds, authorities tried to determine how one of them got a 9 mm handgun past a school's metal detectors and into a science classroom where the gun accidentally discharged.
ReplyDelete"How the weapon got into the building obviously is a main concern for us," said Michael Vaughn, a spokesman for Chicago Public Schools. Students are required to go through metal detectors at the school's main entrances, he said. School administrators indicated the teen who brought the gun to school arrived later in the school day, Vaughn said.
But students are supposed to be screened any time they enter the building, he said. School officials planned to interview the students involved and review footage from the school's extensive surveillance camera system, Vaughn said. Additional security measures would be used to help screen students at the building's entrances, he said.
...or Chicago...
ReplyDelete[Chicago Public Schools Focus on Security, Chicago Defender, 1-27-2010]
ReplyDeleteDuring the 2008-09 school year there were 116,000 incidents recorded at CPS. Incidents range from a shouting match between students to a food fight in the cafeteria.
But the total number of “serious misconduct” incidents, which usually means an occurrence so bad, such as violence, that the student was either suspended or expelled, was 17,000, according to Shields.
There is a minimum of two Chicago police officers assigned to each high school.And like Shields, who spent 23 years with CPD, Ron Huberman, chief executive officer for CPS, is also a former Chicago cop.
But CPS does not rely solely on police assistance when it comes to security for its 408,000 students, said Shields. It relies more on the 2,000 security guards on CPS payroll - with a starting salary of $26,000 - and the 6,200 cameras installed throughout the school district. There are an average of seven security guards at each high school.
And while the bulk of its security budget is spent on personnel costs, Shields, who earns $150,000 a year, said long term plans include using more cameras.“Video surveillance is a lot more useful because security guards can only be in one place at a time. Cameras are helping us immensely. Plus, cameras can capture activity in the community, which is where most school incidents occur,” he said.J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. awarded CPS a $2.5 million grant, which will be used to purchase more cameras.
“J.P. Morgan is the first major corporation to step for security at CPS and we thank them,” Shields said. “We are also reaching out to other corporations for help.”Huberman said its security efforts are paying off.
“There were 143 CPS students shot last school year and this school year there were only 102, so violence incidents are down,” he said. “And none of these shootings took place on school grounds.”
CPS received $30 million in federal stimulus money to combat violence and Huberman added that among the things he plans to do is to make traveling to and from school more safer for students.
“We plan to spend $2 million to develop a safe passage program to make sure students are safe when traveling to and from school,” he told the Defender.
Additionally, CPS will award a $10 million contract to a community organization to assist it with conflict resolutions strategies, which could include in-school suspensions rather than at-home suspensions. The final $18 million will be used to create a Culture of Calm program at designated schools identified to have high incidents of violence. There are 38 schools targeted for the new program, many of them are on the South Side.
ReplyDeleteShitcago: A place with some of the most restrictive gun laws in the nation (to make you safe).
How's that workin' out for ya?
Lets all, as a New Years Resolution, promise to continue to BULLSHIT each other about what the fuck is really going on in this country.
ReplyDeleteIf those kids in those Chicago schools can read above a 3rd grade level on graduation from High School, then the Chiefs win the Super Bowl this year.
What a fuckin joke.
Obfuscation.
Straw man arguments.
Non sequiters, red herrings and outright fukin lies about the necrosis, teh cancer that is eating this nation alive.
Takin guns away from white people.
Pouring more money into edumucashion.
Increasing entitlements for loser baby mama's who shoot thugs otta theri birth canals for cash.
What we need, is MORE fuckin guns for the coming conflageration.
This entire country is based on drowning shitheels in money so they don't rape, murder and kill.
Fuck that, buy bullets.
ReplyDeleteHooray for the NRA
Fuck You Nixon!
Whitey, give up your guns, so we can "Kill all the white people".
ReplyDeleteFuck Djiggo & everybody who looks like 'im. PUN intended ! Fuck Byron too.
DeletePerhaps the Gov would be willing to re-assign the ARMED Hwy Patrol Troopers guarding his ass every day to some school security positions. Safer schools without arming teachers. Problem solved.
ReplyDeleteWow, the stupids are out hot and heavy today. Let's cure flooding by leaving all of our hoses running in the yard. Fucking idiots.
ReplyDeleteAre you a member of the NRA? Do you enjoy killing or watching others commit mass murder?
ReplyDeleteThe US’s addiction to guns must be controlled. Millions of guns in the possession of owners for what? This is not 1776 it’s 2012. The British aren’t coming and the Marshall isn’t due in town only every six months. Guns are only somewhat justifiable for in home protection and perhaps for hunting. Gun Collection could be converted into a safer hobby. The recent Sandy Hook School massacre is another example of weapons built for war being used in a peaceful setting by another non-felon murderer.
At least, get the killing machines out of the hands of private citizens. Why do high powered weapons get sold to anyone? They even are working models, not ones that cannot be fired. We need better gun controls. Ask the Police, Guns end up in criminal hands that were purchased legally by some Citizen. End the US’s bad reputation as the most gun-oriented country in the world.
Modernize the second amendment. Take the danger out of war weapons in private citizens hands by eliminating their sale or at least neutering the weapon before its sale. Do something that can be enforced. Enough is enough.
At least Nixon's not stupid.
Everyone in Mo. Go out and buy a gun even a 6 shooter wheel gun. I see storm clouds ..rolling in
