I'd rather the cops get their range time. Like the article said, the range has been there for years. I think the shock factor has eased off for most that live there, but it does a good job of spinning up controversy everywhere else.

Excellent, well thought out plan. Stop the police from training.

The kids should get to take a field trip to the range and learn firearm safety.

We can't have good guy's praticing killing bad guys.

What if that gun range had been at Sandy Hook when the psycho-geek was shooting up the door to get in?

They need to be up front with the kids and tell them that's how and who will keep them safe and that they need to practice so they can do their jobs right. Make the gun shots the sound of safety.

Why do the cops still have guns? Their guns could be taken away by a bad guy.  I bet they don't have weapon-retention training commensurate with their range time.  Give them sticks, not firesticks.

Give it time... The same folks that scream for gun control are the same folks that scream when cops are 'Heavy Handed' when doing their jobs.

I like hearing full-auto fire in the a.m. from the police range near my office.

Didn't they try to demonstrate that for a group after an off duty police officer shot and killed a drug dealer.  I believe it was a female officer and she was being knocked backwards and she drew and fired as she fell striking the guy in the head.  Googlefu is turning up nothing.  They went after her for intentionally going for a "Killing" shot.

Just so I'm clear on this.

The plan for when a crazed gunman bursts into the school is to huddle the kids into a corner and wait for good people with guns to arrive.



And now they want to stop the good people with guns from training?

Good guys with guns vs bad guys with guns.

The non stop exploitation of the tragedy by the media continues to sensitize kids (and their parents) to fear firearms..basically a trauma based psy-op
to garner public outcry for the left's  "Save America - Do It For The Children" gun ban.

The ONLY viable alternative to a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun .

Hell, when I was in 6th grade (Elementary age, some places) we took a field trip to a military range where we all got to shoot .22 revolvers and even fire a few bursts from a tripod-mounted machine gun of some sort (I don't remember what it was).  After we were all done, they let us go scoop up a handfull of brass and links and showed us how to link the brass back together so we'd have a cool souvenir. Best field-trip ever! And I don't think anyone cried.

It's hard to explain?

You know what's hard to explain?

How someone can be so fucking stupid that they can't explain to a child what a sound is, and why it's being made.....that's what's hard to explain.

Based on most incidents since the shooters off themselves they only need the shooter to think they know how to use them.

Hey, the press and liberals running around hysterically with 24 hr news feed of their propaganda, what do you expect?  How about we ban libtards, "for the children".

Better yet, ban guns from the police, if I don't need one, they won't need them.  There, problem fixed.

Wait......criminals........never mind.
