I am a college teacher, and of course I want my students to be as safe as possible. I have even discussed with students the possibility of a mass shooting event on campus, especially when teaching in classrooms with no opening windows. However, I also do not want students to pay $10,000 more in annual fees to have an army of armed guards in armor stationed at every door or swarms of security drones hovering everywhere.
Such ominous measures would not make us much safer.
Think about it for a minute. How much would it actually cost to put armed guards in every single store and restaurant, every 300 feet or so on beaches and at open air events, in every movie theater and every 200 feet at concerts, at every entrance to every building at any hospital, college, school, church, temple or mosque, at all streets junction where lots of traffic piles up – and so on?
This is impossible unless we want a quarter of Americans to be working as armed guards, adding a 30% surtax on every product and service in the process.
Even that absurdity would not be enough. The shooters would just come through windows like French jewelry thieves, or don armed guard costumes to cause confusion, or use heavy armor while they shoot their way through each supposedly “secure” entrance point to any places with lots of people.
Another arms race is not the way to stop this proliferation of mass shootings. The “more security” fantasy is just chasing an ever-receding mirage.
— John Davenport in Beefing up school security won’t be enough. Try gun control.
In other words – don’t use a gun to defend yourselves so it will be easier for you to be killed by the mentally ill trans or other mentally person ‘mass-killer’ killers, the ANTIFA/TRANTIFA and militant ‘queer’ killers and their groups who have all pledged to kill others not them, the violent democrat politicians who want you dead, the violent criminal killers, the terrorist killers, the illegal alien killers, and the violent left wingers.
Or to shorten all that – basically – John Davenport, like all anti-gun cult members and organizations, would prefer that you die rather than use a gun to defend yourself and family and others from the above mentioned they in their left-wing insanity have unleashed upon the country by facilitation and support and participation.
This idiot thinks these I listed above think like this: “Oh, I can’t get as gun so I will not go out and kill or injure someone.”
Moron, that’s not how any of this works. People intent upon evil violence do not actually care what weapon they use, they just want to kill and/or injure and will use what ever they can get to do it even if it has to be their bare hands.
For example…. The New Orleans terrorist attack occurred on January 1, 2025, when the ISIS inspired terrorist drove a pickup truck into a crowd on Bourbon Street, resulting in 15 deaths and over 50 injuries. That was the weapon he used even though he had a firearm. He didn’t use his firearm until he engaged in a shootout with police who killed him.
This is a good example that -One, the killer did not care which weapon he used as long as he could inflict death and injury, even though he had a firearm and could have in that crowd hit targets very easily – and – Two, that his main objective was causing death and injury. He did not care which weapon he used as long as he could accomplish his goal. If the gun was the deciding factor like you try to claim then the guy would have chosen the gun and just walked into the area and started shooting – but no, the motivation was not being able to have as firearm like you morons think but rather the motivation was to kill and injure.
This same concept, not really caring which weapon was used, has been echoed by mass/school-shooters too in their writings and statements – that if they could not get a gun they would use something else because their goal was not what they used to do it with but rather causing death and injury.
You teach political philosophy and global justice. I could not help but notice the false assertions and deceptive slant you injected into your missive. I guess you had to throw in that you are a ‘college teacher’ to try to lend some type of credibility to your missive either among people who believe the same false assertions and deceptive slant you injected into your missive or in your own mind. Your whole missive also has an underlying false logic as well, one typical among anti-gun people, and that is the false logic of correlation=causation.
For a guy that claims to be a college teacher, you sure are ignorant of reality.
By such drivel and moronic simple minded logic and displayed ignorance on the subject put out by John Davenport in his missive he is enabling these monsters by trying to convince people not to have a gun for defense. He and the rest of the anti-gunners would rather see a victim pool created, for example, like this… (where they just come out and say it)
The violent left wing: Anti-Israel Group Urges US Jews Not to Defend Synagogues Against Islamic Terrorists.
“It’s not about Israel. It’s about convincing Jews everywhere to let themselves be killed by Muslim terrorists.
…
If Not Now, is an anti-Israel BDS group, whose gimmick is pretending it’s an organization of ‘Jewish youth.’ (In reality, many of its members are not Jewish and it’s a typical far leftist organization.) …

“Thing won’t work because criminals do criminal things but other thing would work because that’s the thing I want.”
College professor ladies and gentlemen.
Remove gun free zones and suddenly, there are a whole bunch of armed guards at no cost.
Damn glad I never went to college, otherwise, I couldn’t have come up with this idea.

It Seems Biden’s FBI Hid Stats Showing Armed Civilians Stopped Criminal Shooters.
“Democrats want our guns, and they want to repeal the Second Amendment. They’ve been very clear about their agenda for quite some time now. Unfortunately for them, jurisprudence and good, old-fashioned American stubbornness are not on their side. Americans own hundreds of millions of firearms, ranging from handguns to various rifles.
Why? Because guns save lives. Far more often than they’re used in criminal acts. That fact is inconvenient for Democrats, however, who routinely conflate gun death stats by including 19-year-old gangbangers as “children” who are victims of gun violence, and by classifying a shooting that took place near an elementary school at 2 am as a “school shooting.”
But this latest video takes the Democrats’ lies to a whole new, and dangerous, level.
…
BREAKING – A woman is going viral after exposing the FBI under Biden hid that armed civilians stopped nearly half of all criminal shooters in 2024.
‘Armed citizens stopped 48% of all shooters last year, but the FBI lied about those numbers. They recorded none. Zero percent.’

This is the link to the report that’s referenced by the video in the above post link at ‘townhall’.
‘Massive errors in FBI’s Active Shooting Reports from 2014-2024 regarding cases where civilians stop attacks: Instead of 3.7%, the correct number is at least 36%. Excluding gun-free zones, it averaged over 52.5%. In 2024, it was 62.5%.’

John Davenport is a moron, he doesn’t understand the first thing about this subject. He’s relying on the same old tired and debuked things anti-gunners have used for years, that gun ownership by law abiding people is the cause – its the false logic correlation=causation thing the anti-gunners have been pushing for years. The actual data once exposed (see link in other post), shows what we have been saying and proving for years that ordinary law abiding gun carrying citizens do in fact stop these shooters when the ordinary law abiding gun carrying citizen is able to be armed in and is in areas and engage the killer – so you saying “Remove gun free zones and suddenly, there are a whole bunch of armed guards at no cost. ” is a very valid and true statement.
