Exactly. Criminals will do as they please regardless of the laws in place. I'm also positive the Gun Free Zone signs plastered all over the place really made this guy think twice.

Border Patrol is extremely active in Uvalde due to the overwhelming issue with illegal aliens in the area.

What specific policy do you support that would have prevented today's events?

No one is stopping you from doing it now.

Willingness to sacrifice liberty for a feeling of security is to willingly trod the road to tyranny.

I know we know nothing much now - but would that mean they would have somehow been responding to him shooting his grandmother? Seems odd as to how or why they would have been involved with a HS Student.

I wonder how this ended up involving them?

Over 10 years, 2009-2018, there were a total of 114 school shooting fatalities.

That’s an average of 11 school shooting fatalities every year.

For comparison, around 400 kids drown in pools every year.

You would save far more kids from death by banning pools than actually trying to affect change in school shootings.

Secondly, guns don’t cause school shootings. What do you think causes them?

Don't confuse my skepticism of elementary teachers carrying in the classroom as a solution with supporting gun control measures
I don't. And that quote wasn't in response to you. I agree with you on classrooms. There's a reason jailers don't carry firearms.

As I said, true prevention begins outside of the school.

3. Even if the 2nd Amendment were repealed tomorrow, criminals would still get firearms. Making them illegal just means disarming everyone, making EVERYONE as vulnerable as the kids in the elementary school. The school is undoubtedly a "gun-free zone". How well did that work?
C'mon man! The next law is the one that will work.

Are you functionally retarded?

How exactly would you giving up YOUR firearms stop kids in classrooms from getting shot, unless you're suggesting you were planning on using them in that capacity or giving them to someone who was?

Or is this just more virtue signaling?

Too bad you never understood the Constitution you took an oath to defend. The purpose of the of Second Amendment recognizing the rights of the citizens to own military grade weapons was not for hunting, it was to defend the country from the possibility of a tyrannical government.

Most likely

Border Patrol are Federal Agents and in TX specifically are typically deputized as well. They can enforce almost all laws anywhere in the country.

They would absolutely be notified of a shooting and respond accordingly in addition to local LEOs

Matthew Mcconaughey is the only white guy from Uvalde so he’s definitely a suspect. ~ Jake Tapper probably

The media is going to make this worse. They’re going to dig around and open up old scabs and drive division

NBC news is looking to stir it up
