Last night, I attended the ALICE community presentation, a joint effort of the Alaska State Troopers, the Fairbanks Police Department, the North Pole Police Department and the school district to present the information, reasoning and training for a shift in active shooter response at schools. ALICE stands for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter and Evacuate, which are the key components of the training that “empowers individuals to make proactive response decisions rather than follow a passive, mandated, one-size-fits-all response protocol.”

Ms. "Alaskan Mom" is laboring under a misconception drilled into her head by anti-gun propaganda. Most gun owners know that "gun safety" is a euphemism that really means "citizen control". It is the illegitimate, cynical appropriation of a phrase that literally means "training in the rules of safely handling firearms".
Most gun owners do NOT support "gun safety" as represented by the left. That is a shibboleth.
Would she rather have her kids trained and protected, or ignorant, vulnerable and DEAD? |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
