2,000 rounds?

The janitors sure are shitty shots.

Next year, try book purchases in your school budget.

2000 rounds of ammunition - and they might buy more? What do they expect - a couple of crazed shooters, or an armed insurgency coming to take over the school demanding to get educated by the use of lethal force?

Are the Nez Perce on the warpath again ?

True brave patriotic Americans, pissing their pants again. There’s always the chance of roving rabid coyotes or something I guess.

Two thousand rounds might seem excessive to non-shooters, but they can go through them pretty quickly if the plan is to train them to use the firearms proficiently and to practice to maintain that proficiency. It does sound like they get to have a school officials shooting club at the publics expense, though.

NOW everybody knows who you are and where you are, exacerbating any threat which DID exist.

I see no downside. What could possibly go wrong?

Most school shootings seem to be done by white male teenagers in rural or suburban areas and there are plenty of guns to be had in rural Idaho.

Given the state of a lot of indoor (and even some outdoor) firing ranges, are we going to get articles in a few months about teachers on leave due to lead poisoning?

Oh. Your. God.
The STUPID! It HURTS!
Well, I guess the Nazi, Communist, Kenyan, Muslim, U.N., post-colonial, Gay-Mafia Dictator will have to call off his secret Chinese/Mexican-invasion of South-East Idaho. (There were not enough Wal*Marts to pull it off anyway.)
Curses! Foiled again!
Wolverines! Wolverines!

I’m guessing it’s not.

Worst dictator I’ve ever seen.

Naw…they just wanted to buy guns and do the gun thing. There’s no reason to think it would take 45 minutes for the Cops to respond to an active shooter. And, now that the world knows there’s guns in there any shooter will come prepared for that. And gun loving burglars will love it.

Drop all the defense crap. Someone’s a gun nut and they used their official position to buy guns. With the tax payer money.

Indeed – and if the taxpayers think the firearm and ammo budget is outrageous, wait until they see the bill for the booze.

That was my first thought - Injun attacks!

What, no hand grenades and rocket launchers, what if, the ‘threat’ was an Islam gang or drone?

Did they also buy gun safes and build bunkers?
Is a rifle really the best gun for this, are they expecting marauding elk or non-whitetail deer?

How about tackling the problem of Lone Wolfs(ves?) instead of going to war with the after affect.
