    My son’s first day of Kindergarten included an active shooter lockdown drill this morning. He’s five years old and that is what he will always remember from his first day of elementary school.

        It's a conditioning process, just like the pledge of allegiance they teach us on the first day. In this case the programming is that random, crazy people with guns from the neighborhood are responsible for our social pathology. That we only have a "bad apples with guns" problem.

        Get them young. Brain wash them to be fearful of guns. In 10 years they will vote to outlaw fire arms. That’s the plan

        We should just let toddlers vote instead.

        There’s some pretty compelling anecdotal evidence that these type of drills, practiced in parts of Florida preceding the Parkland shooting, contributed to a greater death toll in that mass shooting.

        Man I was in the Costco the other day and somebody set off the emergency exit alarm or something, and this little kid maybe 6 was like "look mommy a lockdown drill!" like was excited for it. Kinda surreal and depressing tbh.

        They are insane. My 9th grader was told on the first day that if there was an active shooter situation and a teacher was outside trying to get in that they should under no circumstance open the door for them because that’s how all the kids got killed in Columbine. WTH!
