Michigan parent exercises his 2nd Amendment rights on school grounds. School exercises their right to panic.

A hard lockdown was ordered Monday in Homer school buildings after a parent came to school with a holstered handgun, officials said. 

Homer Community School District Superintendent Robert Wright said the parent had brought a gun to school on Friday and was armed again when he returned to the school Monday to discuss Friday's incident. 

The parent of a student at Lillian Fletcher Elementary School, who Wright declined to identify, came to school Friday to sign in his son,. The man was carrying a gun in a holster. Wright said the parent was questioned by a staff member; the parent asserted "his right to have it there" and he left the school without a confrontation, Wright said.

After that incident the school notified the authorities and the police told the man that though it was his right to have the gun, that it was best not to bring it to school.

However the man was not convinced so the school set up a meeting with him, and guess how he showed up for that meeting:

"And lo and behold, he showed up with his weapon holstered ... it was never out of the holster," Wright said. "And at that point I had to inform him that our protocol is that we go into lockdown just for pure safety of all of our students and staff, and so we went into lockdown at that point." 

"They asked him to sit in the front lobby and they went into lockdown," Saxton said. "He left when he heard them go into lockdown." 

Wright said the district went under hard lockdown -- he described it as a time when instruction is halted to focus on safety precautions -- for about 10 minutes at 2:15 p.m. A sheriff's deputy was called to the school but the parent left before the deputy arrived.

So while this idiot was walking around trying to feel like a real man, he traumatized an entire school full of children.  Good job asshole.

You know what these Ammosexuals seem incapable of understanding is that them having a weapon does NOT make the rest of us feel safe. In fact just the opposite.

The reality is that when a gun shows up on school grounds, the possibility of a child being shot goes from 0 to 100% more likely.

That may not be the intention of the gun owner, but as we know guns can fall and discharge, they can be taken from their owners and used, or the owner may have something suddenly happen which angers them to the point of recklessness.

But the simple fact is, no gun, no gun deaths.

Period.

Breaking news! Shooting at Navy shipyard in Washington. Four reported dead and multiple injuries. Update!

Courtesy of USA Today:

 Multiple people were killed and several more wounded when at least one gunman opened fire Monday at the Naval Sea Systems Command headquarters, authorities said. 

The Navy said "several" people were killed at the Navy Yard. Ed Buclatin, the public affairs chief for the Navy Installations Command, tweeted "four killed and eight injured." He also tweeted that reports of more than one shooter had not been confirmed. 

Washington's Metropolitan Police Department reported that a suspect was in the building. The shooter was described as a black male with a dark complexion, approximately 5'10" to 6 feet tall, 170 pound with a black shirt and black hat. He is believed to be barricaded somewhere and have multiple guns.

This is still a very fluid situation and more information is coming in rapidly. As of right now they are not even certain exactly how many gunmen are involved.

I have also heard that one of the weapons might be an AR 15, but right now that is still speculative.

I will leave this as an open thread in order to facilitate any newer information as we receive it.

Update: Reports of a second shooting site with possibly a second gunman coming in from MSNBC.

Update 2: Confirmation of two shooters, with possibility of a third. (Correction on this update. They have walked it back and are now talking about a single shooter. Let's hope that is the case.)

Update 3: Shooter is now dead. As of right now he is reported as the ONLY shooter. (Unless of course you are listening to CNN who are reporting TWO shooters down. However after the Boston bombing I take what they say with a grain of salt.)

Update 4: Okay now the police spokesperson is saying that there is one shooter down and potentially two more shooters, one black one white, still at large. 

Update 5: New reports have the dead at twelve.

Lawmaker "apologizes" for suggesting that liberals were cowering during Boston manhunt.

Here is this asshole's attempt to cover his ass issued this morning:

I would like to apologize to the people of Boston & Massachusetts for the poor timing of my tweet earlier this morning. As a staunch and unwavering supporter of the individual right to self defense, I expressed my point of view without thinking of its effect on those still in time of crisis. In hindsight, given the ongoing tragedy that is still unfolding, I regret the poor choice of timing. Please know that my thoughts and prayers were with the people of Boston overnight and will continue as they recover from this tragedy.

So as you can see he apologized for nothing, except for the fact that he may have shown poor judgement in WHEN he insulted the people of Boston, Massachusetts.

He was a douchebag she he said it, and he remains a douchebag today.

And if he expects an apology from me he is a stupid douchebag.
