(Republican Party News) – Andrew Pollack — who is the father of Meadow Pollack, one of the victims killed during the 2018 Parkland, Florida, high school shooting — stated he was “so angry” after hearing about the horrific elementary school shooting that happened in Uvalde, Texas, because, according to him, the whole thing could have been prevented.
As you are probably aware by now, the left has swooped down on the awful tragedy like a vulture to carrion, using the 21 deaths to try and push for strict gun-control laws to be passed as a means of supposedly preventing these kinds of incidents from happening in the future.
However, Pollack does not believe that is the answer to this problem.
“We shouldn’t be focusing on gun control now. Parents should be focused on what they can do. They could learn and educate themselves,” he went on to say during a Fox News appearance on Wednesday.
“We should be looking at what we can be doing to fix these things in schools. A single point of entry. How did the intruder get into the school? It should be locked down. We need school resource officers. And it’s just terrible to think that this was all avoidable,” Pollack continued.
According to The Western Journal, The resident of Florida took to Twitter where he shared a three-point plan to help make schools safer, stating that they need to have an armed guard, a single point of entry, and teacher training.
“We send out $Billions to other countries all the time. Why not fund school safety in America?” Pollack asked in the post.
-Armed guard
-Single point of entry
-Teacher trainingWe send out $Billions to other countries all the time. Why not fund school safety in America?

What Pollack seems to be calling for is controlled access to the building, which means people have to be buzzed in during the school day.
Video footage captured of the shooter reveals that he was dressed all in black and wielding a rifle, one could safely assume that had such a system been in place, he would not have been allowed to come into the building.
This should be common sense, but an armed resource officer should be stationed close to the single point of entry during the school day.
During Pollack’s appearance on Laura Ingraham’s Fox News program, he said, “I’m so angry that I’m practically shaking right now at what happened, at what these parents have to deal with.”
“Even a single point of entry would have prevented it. … This didn’t have to happen today,” he continued.
“It’s the parents. It’s your responsibility where you send your children to school,” Pollack explained.
He then exhorted parents to visit their children’s schools to see if they have taken proper safety measures to prevent incidents like this from happening.
“We have $40 billion to send over to Ukraine to protect their borders, but we can’t protect our children in our country. What are our children worth?… How far could that have went? How many policeman could we have paid with $40 billion to be at schools?” Pollack went on to ask.
A simple point that many of these gun grabbing liberals seem to purposefully ignore is that a weapon isn’t what killed these children. A man did. He is the one responsible for the crime, not the tool used to commit it.
There are dark forces at work in our world. Unfortunately, the left refuses to acknowledge that and work toward exposing the darkness and finding ways to shine light on it in order to stop these shootings by tackling the root cause.
During his remarks on the incident delivered on Tuesday, Biden, as usual, called for a ban on assault weapons, despite the fact that far more people are killed with knives every year than rifles, according to stats put out by the FBI.
“And in fact, there appeared to be no correlation between gun ownership increasing and the murder rate in the United States going back to the 1990s,” the WJ report revealed.

“Notably, the rate remained low and then decreased further after the assault weapons ban, which was signed into law by President Bill Clinton in 1994, expired in 2004,” the report continued.
The only solution the Left truly believes will work is total gun confiscation. They refuse to argue on behalf of that. So instead, they simply use phrases like "common sense gun reform," and then refuse to specify what such reform would be or how it would stop mass shootings.

One thing Biden got right is that the founders included the right to bears in the Constitution for a reason other than hunting. It was put in the Bill of Rights in order to provide American citizens with the right to have weapons available to fight off a tyrannical government should it attempt to oppress the people.
Which is why we cannot allow progressives to take that right away.

It seems to me that we tried to stop alcohol using every law on the books. did it work? NO! You can go buy it anywhere? Then we tried to stop the sale of drugs. Again we used ever law on the books. Did it work? NO now you can buy drugs openly? Now you want to try and stop the sale of guns an inanimate object that sits there until a human picks it up and uses it to com-it a crime? So you believe that taking away guns from the good citizen will prevent crime? NO because only the evil person will have one. I say bring back the death penalty and execute by hanging or the firing squad on pay per view!!! Then watch the crime rate drop like a rock!!!
Agree 💯 percent! It’s not the guns as much as the Democrats want it to be. They have went out of there way to get rid of the police, it’s just insane. This administration is to blame, every police officer is afraid to do anything because of this administration! My heart goes out to each and everyone of you that lost someone they love 🙏🙏🙏🙏
As long as Americans stand their ground and don’t let the demon-rats try to control every aspect of our lives, we are good solid moral footing. Let them sink in the sand but as for me and my house we are on solid ground. I know how to think for myself and that scares the hell out of em.
It’s unacceptable that we live in an environment today where being “locked up/locked down” for our own safety has become necessary. Civility is nearly extinct. The answer is NOT more gun control ( of law-abiding citizens. What we need is CRIMINAL CONTROL and institutionalization of dangerous mental cases instead of just medicating and counseling them. I tired of hearing about giving lenient and special treatment to repeat criminals and nut cases while advocating more restrictive life styles of law abiding, sane people as the solution to the lawlessness around us today. Until sanity returns, more armed GOOD PEOPLE out in public is necessary instead of fewer ones.
