Texas School Shooting Has Democrats Hating On Locked Doors And Emergency Exits

The shooting at Robb Elementary School in Ulvade, Texas has democrats pushing all kinds of gun control laws, none of which would have prevented the tragedy. Ted Cruz has a solid plan for single points of entry at schools with all other doors locked from the inside but democrats hate the idea because it would be effective and they don’t understand how emergency exits work.

Gunman Salvador Ramos was able to get into Robb Elementary School because all of the doors were unlocked and there was no armed resource officer on the premises. Texas Senator Ted Cruz has a solution to that problem that will work, which explains the mockery from the left:

“You want to talk about how we could have prevented the horror that played out across the street? The killer entered…through a back door. An unlocked back door…We talked about what we need to do to harden schools including not having unlocked back doors, including not having unlocked doors to classrooms, having one door that goes in and out of the school, having armed police officers at that one door,” said Cruz.

There is in no flaw on that plan. If all school doors are locked from the inside and there is a single point of entry with an armed resource officer, chickenshit mass shooters are not going to schools. Period.

Because the left hates solutions that work almost as much as they despise the 2nd Amendment, Cruz’s plan has triggered a predictably stupid response. Here’s Washington Post editor and columnist Karen Tumulty:

There’s seriously no thinking going here at all. Cruz didn’t say rebuild every school in America with a single door, he said have all the doors but the front door be locked from the inside. In case of a fire or other emergency, students and teachers could exit but bad guys couldn’t get in from the outside. It’s like this WaPo editor has never heard of an emergency exit before.

Same goes for Pete Buttigieg’s husband Chasten:

The Texas school shooter got in through an unlocked door and there was no armed police officer on campus. Locked doors and an armed adult would have stopped this tragedy. Nothing democrats are proposing would have had any impact. Also, the AR-15 was definitely not designed to mutilate little kids.

The Bulwark’s Tim Miller went even dumber:

This guy went to a high school with doors in the middle of the football and baseball fields? Sorry, I guess I can’t explain how that works. Once again liberals stump us with stupidity.

And finally, Chuck Schumer used his imagination to make up an expert opinion on the matter:

What fire marshalls are against emergency exits? And for that matter, what tactical experts think securing the permitter is a bad idea?

Since all democrat “solutions” involve passing unconstitutional laws that will be ignored by criminals and cost tons of taxpayer dollars, they short-circuit when presented with a reasonable,  workable, cost-effect idea.
