Karl Denninger has a few words about the Texas school shooting, at Market-Ticker:
If you have children then you have voluntarily taken upon yourself the responsibility for the safety of others, specifically, those children. You choose where they go and who they go with. You choose the school. You choose the Principal, the teachers, the staff members and whatever security measures are there.
If you are sending your children to an unsafe place without the presence of armed resistance, whether that constitutes you personally or someone else in your stead you are an unfit parent as you are intentionally and knowingly putting those who you willfully accepted responsibility for in danger.
If your school is full of part-time felons, including bullies who think assault and worse is part and parcel of "going to school" that is in fact worse than a prison yard in that at least in the prison yard the other crooks need to make their shivs out of stolen plastic cutlery.

mid-air–interlocked, they flew for five miles and landed safely ... "she

Z Man - Trump is not of the Old Right or New Right, and neither are his
supporters.
He's not a guy committed to winning them over with theory or looking
for a way to join the club.
Trump is looking to bust up the club and make his own. There’s a lesson
here. A culture war is a zero sum game. The ground you gain can only
come at the expense of the people in charge and there can never be
peace. Complex political theories and carefully elucidated principles
have no place in a culture war, or even a political war. It’s a rock
fight and that means you have to use whatever is handy to take out the
other guy. After you win and secure his turf, then you take a break and
maybe use the off-time to think about theory. Principles are for the
victory party. Confiscation,
Survival Blog - The current mass media-driven “debate” on firearms
(actually more like paternalistic lecturing or chiding) seems to be
leading toward greater restrictions by Congress. The collectivist gun
grabbers have the dream of ignoring the Second Amendment and somehow
magically removing all detachable magazine semi-auto rifles from
civilian hands. But it is just that: a dream. If they think that they
can disarm us, then they are thoroughly deluded. I’ll explain why, with
some simple mathematics. I believe that once it was started, the whole
affray would be settled within just a few weeks or months. American gun
owners clearly have the numbers on their side.
