The Most Famous 7 Minutes In History

The single most discussed 7 minutes in today's world is the time that it takes an urban/suburban police force to respond to a 911 call. Let me start the post by saying this: I don't want to point a gun at anyone...... ever! But if I hear a crash in the middle of the night, I'm going to have my wife call the police while I get the gun and a flashlight.

So, that's it right? You confront, the guy (might be a woman, but I doubt it), he stops, the police comes, and it's all over.....right? Uhhhhh...... maybe, maybe not. Chances are good that it's a burglar he will either run or raise their hands, but what if it's not?

That's where our nations recent tragedy and this jack-nob come together. For whatever reason, we have a lot of lunatics out there running around, along with lots of addicts. Where this started today, was when I saw one of my students watching this ridiculous little show on their computer. The CNN part of the charade was predictable, but this knucklehead out there talking about the need to ban weapons, while the whole time knowing that his department had failed to do it's job was just sickening. I'm at a school with a lot of fairly liberal students, so I get these concepts on a regular basis. So, we discussed this issue. Who's responsible for those 7 minutes?

From where I stand; I'm it. Whether that's a burglar that guessed wrong on when we'd be home or it's one or more juiced up meth-heads bent on mayhem...... I'm it....... for roughly 7 minutes, I'm it. So, this Clinton-schmoozing moron who's deputies refused to enter a school where an active shooter is killing 17 people wants to tell me that I shouldn't be able to choose my weapon!?! Really? So far, nobody in the media has been able to answer that question at all, much less to anyone's satisfaction!
