@StillIRise1963 @shawrd773 @Bette I’d love to see a school district bring in an expert who says, “I can tell you some bs about throwing staplers at a mass-murderer armed with an assault rifle and 100s of rounds of ammo, but here’s what will really work: Organize. A. Strike. District-wide, statewide, heck, nationwide. Paralyze the country until the govt passes serious gun-safety laws. Here’s how to do it…
