Senators reach bipartisan compromise on gun violence bill

Senate bargainers have reached agreement on a bipartisan gun violence bill. That potentially tees up congressional passage this week on an incremental but notable package that would stand as Congress’s response to mass shootings in Texas and New York that shook the nation.

First interior image released in Uvalde school shooting shows officers with more firepower than previously believed

The image raises more questions regarding the response timeline reported by police.

I wonder how much of the failure of the Uvalde local police was caused by Uvalde being s small town with a police force that didn't really have a clue how to handle the situation.

but they had swat training !!1!1!111

Apparently the police stopped the only good guy with a gun on scene.

In multiple instances, cops have killed other good guys with a gun on scene.

This fantasy about good guy with a gun and everyone lived happily ever after needs to stop.

I am sure they would have shot and killed an unarmed black guy if that had been the situation. But actual lunatic with a gun, they stand in the hallway "waiting for a key"

"Waiting for a key" for an unlocked door, it turns out. After the shooter shot through the door, no one ventured to twist the damned knob. Now, I was an adrenalin junkie at a earlier age. I lived for putting my life on the line and risking it. That said, I don't judge folk who are different. BUT, if your mindset is to save your own ass first, you don't belong in a uniform with a gun strapped on, pledged to protect...

This gun bill is a cop-out. They do a few things to solve the problem without doing anything major.
Skip down to the part where it says what is not in the bill:

They left out more than they covered.

I get it. I really do.

But this is about getting done what can be done today and not throwing a fit and skipping what can be done because we're upset about what can't be done.

It sucks, but it's better than nothing.

Did you know that they'd been through a proctored active shooter enactment two months prior? It was all over the news...

They should get a refund

Would this be a first?? Demolishing the site of a mass shooting??

Robb Elementary School, site of massacre, will be razed, Uvalde mayor says

“You can never ask a child to go back or a teacher to go back in that school ever,” the mayor said hours after a top Texas official called the response to the shooting an "abject failure."

Seems like that money could be better spent on good training for the local cops.

You are correct, it could, but people will always look at that school and be reminded of what happened there. The kids will no doubt be traumatized every time they walk in the door as well. They already wasted training dollars on those guys, no reason to throw more money at them.

So demolish and put a new school in the exact same location? Seems like a waste of money. I know something horrible happened there, but a new building won't change that.

As far as I am concerned if all this stuff is true these cops should have the same charges brought as the ones who put the knee on that guy's neck a couple years ago.....it's the same freaking thing!
