TONIGHT'S MEETING OF WOMEN'S GROUP

The group's name is Ladies Of Legacy and this month's meeting will take place at the radio station in the conference room for KVOR. The meeting starts at 6:30 and will have lively conversation and wine and snacks.

ONE OF THE BEST EVER


Friday, February 16, 2018

THESE ARE POSTINGS FROM THE FIRST DAY OF THE FLORIDA SHOWING AND FROM MY FACEBOOK ACCOUNT.

SHOULD GOOD DECENT LAW ABIDING CITIZENS LIKE ME HAVE TO GIVE UP THEIR GUNS? WOULD IT PREVENT MORE SCHOOL SHOOTINGS? WHAT, IF ANYTHING, WILL?
HERE ARE THE TEXT MESSAGES I GOT DURING THIS MORNING'S RADIO PROGRAM.
Good morning Insight: no more school shootings. We need mass action. Safe first! The plan: Security/Safety, all schools. 9:06 PM
Proactive! Every school in the USA, should be reviewing security and safety procedures Two officers outside, two inside. Money to build a border wall. Money for safety of our children while in school. Please no playing the, party blame game. Proactive. Less talk, action gets it done.
Yes! Arm those teacher who are willing take weapon training courses. Common Sense President ðŸ‡ºðŸ‡¸ 9:06
Good morning🇺🇸 Insight: money for military parade. (10-30 million dollars) Why not shift that money to help provide schools 11:35 PM
security/safety Officers Common Sense President ðŸ‡ºðŸ‡¸ 11:35 PM
Good morning ðŸ‡ºðŸ‡¸ Insight: this is very sad! Proactive Security/Safety in all schools, that's what should be implemented. The President, should initiate. (This is the last shooting in our schools) From the very first school shooting, it should had been implemented. Blame is place on one person, and that's the shooter. They knew he was a threat, being proactive could have prevented this. Today! A parent, A student, a teacher, a school superintendent, knows of a person who could be a threat. Proactive is the key! The person of interest needs help! Proactive, proactive, proactive, is the key! Put reliable vets to work, they protected the country, let them protect, the future of this great country. No more! Talking is not getting it done. The best minds in this country can! Less talk, more action! I say this sadly, I'm so glad my daughters have finished their institutional education. Common Sense President ðŸ‡ºðŸ‡¸ 7:17 AM
+Good morning ðŸ‡ºðŸ‡¸
Insight: Proactive! All school bus, should have a driver and a safety monitor. Common Sense President ðŸ‡ºðŸ‡¸ 8:32 AM
Good morning ðŸ‡ºðŸ‡¸
Insight: some politicians are too close to their own tree and fail to see the forest of their constituency! Common Sense 9:53 AM
There are so many people who play video games. I'm not sure they are terribly influential as we would like to think they are. What DOES influence is the militant left who say its okay to destroy life if you are a victim or racism, etc Rachel flick spoke of this. To your previous caller, shall we outlaw TV's, movies, etc? That's a slippery slope. Our culture simply has no respect for life. 9:46 AM
Dept of Ed needs to stop funding special classes for kids here illegally, stop making special accommodations for kids that can't decide which sex they want to be and START defending the majority of kids that need protection from trained, armed teachers. Also, why do our local schools & this school in FL expel kids that pose a threat, then let them back in a year later? 8:45 AM
In my family we have 2 teachers in local high schools. We have 2 high school students in our family. All 4 are trained, legal marksmen, the 2 adults, however, can't use their firearms skills at work, meaning they would be potential victims even tho they would save lives if allowed to carry. How can anyone argue against teachers being able to conceal carry to protect our kids!? 8:51 AM
There are many things we can do to thwart school shootings. How abt a mandatory gun safety program, k-12? The kids 'obsessed' with guns have no adult supervision. No one has instructed them, taken them to a range to satisfy curiosity. Ignorance is curtailed with education. 9:43 AM

Enough is NOT Enough!!! 8:36 AM
We need people buy more guns!!! 8:36 AM

In fact.. please put your ads for %$#?*& Shooting Center!!! 8:38 AM

Time to buy stocks!!! 9:16 AM
I am not wrong!!! Buy more guns!!! Buy more guns!!! 9:17 AM
Answer, this question... how many people, mass crime are happing around USA... and you justify you bought a gun because you are afraid somebody will go to your... 9:18 AM
I bet you, you have not have anyone trying going to your home!!! 9:19 AM
You are liar... I have been living here in Colorado Springs fir more than 15 years WITHOUT ANY GUN!!! and I live and sleep 100% secure!!! 9:20 AM
People do not need guns at home!! 9:20 AM
Great Trump!!! 9:29 AM
Take an action!!! 9:29 AM
Close %$#?*& Shooting Center!!! 9:29 AM
Have the balls!!! 9:29 AM
He did not do anything!!!! Bla, bla, bla!!! 9:30 AM

Yes the current caller does have a good idea but if something like that is implemented, it wouldn't take very long for the other crazies to start complaining about us becoming a police state. 9:28 AM
I'm from Colorado Springs....active duty....as regards to the Mass shootings....why don't we use the military. Construct a Battalion or brigade size element devoted to focusing on domestic terrorism... securing schools, and or other areas. This will cost a lot less as active duty gets paid salary. 9:23 AM
Richard, I tend to believe that god installs anger in our hearts in order to help us combat evil, I also wish the young man was killed but I wish it was by a teacher or staff member early in the act of murder to show that sheep can be protected by a guard dog, taking the guard dog away and letting every predator know the dog isn't allowed on the premises is ridiculous Cole. 9:21 AM
I believe the death penalty should be used more as a deterrent 9:17 AM
That madman is not a "shooter", He is a MURDERER. Let's be clear on that. 9:11 AM
Yes- arm the teachers- but what happens when the SWAT team shows up and blows the teacher holding the gun away, thinking he's the perp? Do you think they'll ask to see his ID badge first? 9:07
Hey Richard Mark Ross here. A wolf is a wolf. If you take away his firearm he'll find some other way to kill the sheep. If you disarm the sheepdogs then the wolf can just eat as many sheep as he wants. 8:53
You're not going to start the tin foil hat, conspiracy junk again, are you? 8:43 AM
Pueblo, CO Again Richard, your good God in his word says to hate evil 8:42 AM
Alamosa, CO It's ok the killer is alive he will get his in state prison many times over 8:39 AM
The shooter in Florida is a product of cultural decline. 8:38 AM
What stupid question Richard? 10:00 AM
Are you trying to say... it is OK "legal" people have the right to make a crime?... 10:00 AM
What stupid question!!!! 10:01 AM
You anti immigration mind is making you make stupid question... we should be happy then "legal " people make a crime!!! 10:02 AM
Crime, exist... because we are humans... nothing to do who the stupid status... you are going "legal" people make mass of crimes.. and just 1% of us ("illegal ") make a crime!!! 10:03 AM
Do not stereotype us!!! We are not criminals!!! We are people like you, your co-workers and your family!!! We are not a bunch of criminals!!! 10:04 AM
Me: I will read this on the air tomorrow... but I want to be clear... I DO NOT hate you or your children or family, friends, or coworkers. I AM in favor of President Trump's plan for dreamers. Do you have a problem with a border wall, an end to chain migration, and visa lottery? Do you think it is wrong to make Dreamers get in line behind those who are coming here legally? 10:12 AM
I'm OK with a wall and the existing immigrantions laws only allows to bring close family!!! Why you do not bring a immigration lawyer to you program... we "illegal" pay for it... and ask to him/her if with the existing law I can bring Grand Parents or all my relatives... only Wife, son and parents... I do not see nothing wrong about it... do you see it? 10:17 AM
The problem.. is Trump and the extreme right is totally against hispanic... and they want to us to buy the idea.. I can bring my cousins or any relatives.. and it is not true!!! 10:19 AM
Bring a immigration lawyer and I pay for it!!! 10:20 AM
Let's educate your radio-listeners how that family-chain does not exist!!! 10:20 AM
What is wrong to bring my Wife, my son and my Parents? 10:21 AM
And I am totally agree to put dreamers back in line... I am in line since 2003!!! It is not an easy process!!! 10:22 AM
But the real problem is employers!!! They do not care about their own people.. 10:23 AM
They only care about profits!!! 10:23 AM
Welcome to the capitalism world!!! 10:24 AM

David Gerstel Who has asked you to give up your gun. Common sense gun regulation. Universal a k ground checks you oppose. Why? approved of trump allowing 75,000 severely mentally ill to people to purchase guns. I am a proud and responsible gun went and unlike you, think 19 school shootings in 6 weeks is enough! Common sense gun regulation. What will it take, loss of a loved one because thT number is starting to become large

David Gerstel It is up to mental health to determine what diagnosis and severity merit inability to own a gun. Since 1960, more people in this country have been killed by guns than all our ears combined. Japan had 10 deaths master year versus our 33,000. 19 school shootings this year yet NRA and irresponsible gun owners are even against universal back ground checks
