A prominent gun-rights organization is calling out Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democrat “nominee” for president, on her 2019 advocacy of removing school resource officers from schools in light of such resource officers stopping and arresting the alleged murderer at a Georgia high school earlier this week.
The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCKRBA) noted in a news item on its website that Harris, during her failed presidential campaign, described her idea of removing resource officers from schools as an effort to “demilitarize” school campuses.
“The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms is congratulating the officers involved in arresting the 14-year-old accused killer, and reminding Vice President Harris that, if she had her way five years ago, Wednesday’s rampage might have been much worse,” the story stated.
The 14-year-old alleged killer at Apalachee High School murdered two teachers and two students, along with wounding nine others. But school resource officers stopped him before he could cause any more carnage.
Alan Gottlieb, CCRKBA chairman, said that, as usual, Harris was on the wrong side of an important issue when calling for removal of resources officers.
“Once again, a good guy with a gun stopped a bad guy with a gun, demonstrating how wrong Kamala Harris was about the importance of armed school resource officers, who literally saved lives in Georgia,” Gottlieb said. “It’s just one of many things, especially relating to firearms and crime intervention, she’s been wrong about during her political career.”
Of course, after the shooting Harris made no mention of her earlier advocacy for removing school resource officers. Instead, she, President Joe Biden and other gun-ban advocates called for more restrictions on private firearms ownership.
For Biden’s part, he used the tragedy to push many of the same restrictions he has been seeking his entire term in office. He even pulled out his worn out adage about “deer wearing Kevlar vests,” which we hoped he had finally understood is ridiculous after saying it in public so many times in the past.
“My dad is a hunter. I don’t know a whole hell of a lot of deer wearing Kevlar vests,” Biden said. “I’m serious about this. High-capacity magazines, once again. What do we need them for in terms of domestic use?”
As for Harris, she’s fully onboard with more gun-ban schemes than likely any presidential candidate in history, including, according to Gottlieb, “compensated confiscation” of AR-style rifles.
“Kamala Harris was wrong about removing armed school resource officers,” Gottlieb concluded. “It’s time for the media to end its love fest with the vice president and start looking at what else she’s been wrong about.”
When the government gives up all their guns, I might consider giving up mine, but until then, I ain’t giving up shit.
If the government in the future gives up it’s guns. Remember. Criminals will never give up theirs.
Love fest? What love fest? ABC is the only network covering Kamala with 100% positive spin. The other networks are much harsher in her treatment what with CBS’s 94% positive coverage and NBC’s 71% positive coverage.
Her feet are being held to the fire by our media and in true Cheney fashion she’s strong enough to shoot them in the face!
I don’t doubt that Kommie Harris said “demilitarize schools” and remove SROs like the one who stopped the Apalachee incident, but there is no footnote or other refence proving she said or wrote that at the CCKBA website. The Kameleon or her minions will just deny saying this.
It was probably after consultation with our own Miner The Oracle, who says that the latest shooting proves SROs are ineffective, kitchen fire extinguishers don’t have any practical uses, and EVERYTHING is Trump’s fault. We can only hope he also has a disdain for the seatbelts in his vehicle – most likely an electric one
I found the video of the speech but The Truth About Guns censorship squad won’t let me post it.
Try this…move the h one click to the right…

It wasn’t a speech, it was a radio interview and she never suggested removing the SROs from schools or used the phrase ‘demilitarize schools’.
This is just more right wing propaganda, here’s the pertinent portion of her actual comments from the interview:
“So, this whole movement is about rightly saying we need to take a look at these budgets and figure out whether it reflects the right priorities. When, today in America, two thirds of our public school teachers are coming out of their own back pocket to help pay for school supplies when we have, for generations now, been defunding public schools but yet militarizing police departments, we need to have this conversation. And critically examine and understand that this is not working. It’s not working,” she continued.”
Trump’s Republicans are just flailing, because they know they’re going to lose the election. So they try these blatant disinformation schemes, misreporting what Kamala Harris said in the interview.
You can always tell which of the ‘News’ reports are lies, they don’t quote the actual words but rather ‘paraphrase’ in order to mischaracterize what she said.
minor49iq…Cease trying to put lipstick on that pig. Her statement is well documented and falls in line with all of her other other cackling dodo. You look really pitiful trying to defend the indefensible…if I were you I would stfu and sit this one out…

“Her statement is well documented”
Yes, I quoted it above.
I thought most folks on here were against the over-militarization of the police?
I remember quite a few posts about ‘cop suckers’ and ‘bootlickers’…
What does militarization of the police mean???
Civilian cops have had machine guns and fixed bayonets going back to the 1920s. Are you scared of the BDU uniform???
So cop and gun haters are scared of pistol grips, on long guns. And their scared of camouflage clothing.
“It wasn’t a speech, it was a radio interview and she never suggested removing the SROs from schools or used the phrase ‘demilitarize schools’.”
“What we need to do about taking, huh huh.. demilitarizing our schools and.. huh em.. and taking police officers out of schools. …
— Kamala Harris, Presidential Justice Forum at Benedict College – Columbia, SC – Oct 26, 2019”
School resource officers (SROs) are law enforcement officers tasked with ensuring safety and preventing crime in schools.
Like regular non-SRO police officers SRO’s can make arrests, respond to service calls, and document incidents within their jurisdiction.
SRO’s officers aren’t employed by schools, but by local police departments. According to the Department of Justice, “SRO candidates should be sworn law enforcement officers or deputies…” or in other words police officers (e.g. local police, sheriff deputies)
Yes, Kamala did say she wanted to remove SRO’s from schools.
I’d post the link but it would go to moderation – search youtube for “Kamala Harris – Presidential Justice Forum at Benedict College – Columbia, SC – Oct 26, 2019”
starts about 42:12 in video
and if you want just that part in case my transcription was a little sloppy…a (malformed link you will need to put together, but you can blame it on ‘TRUMPPPPPPP!!!! if you wish)

Taking a nine second video clip out of context…
The very definition of “taking it out of context”, a 9-second sentence fragment from an hour long speech.
C’mon, you can do better.
And the claim was, “First she’s against armed security in schools“, but y’all still haven’t posted any evidence she actually advocated for “she’s against armed security in schools“.
I gave you the whole video…where I posted above:

What the heck do you think SRO’s are? They are “armed security in schools.”
Learn what context means moron, and stop trolling the comments with your BS.
“…we have, for generations now, been defunding public schools…”
Since when has any operating U.S. public school had its budget reduced by even a penny, let alone been defunded?
This site now has all the frills of an antiquated AOL chat room. Whatever it is that’s running the show is doing more harm than good.
yep, it pretty much sucks now to have discussions or inform people of things.
Its kinda odd … they said they moderated but didn’t moderate the spam out for weeks on end, then made changes that end up moderating out the regular users and making it suck for discussions.
Its almost like an anti-gun policy where the law abiding ends up restricted because the criminal commits crime.
I’ve noticed my posts don’t appear immediately as they used to. It takes several minutes for the posts to appear. Either W0rd_prrss needs a reboot or some posts are being manually reviewed.
its happening to all of us I think. One trick that works sometimes is after you click and it acts like it posts close the browser then open it back up and see if the post appeared. But it doesn’t always work.
I’ve got some posts from four days ago and over the past four days, some went to moderation and some did that weird back to top of page thing – they have not appeared yet.
For the self serving democRat to draw sucker votes cackles will switch gears like she switches voice tones. First she’s against armed security in schools and now she’s for it. Like Judge Joe Brown said…She is a pos.
TRUMP/VANCE 2024.
“First she’s against armed security in schools“
When did she say she was against armed security in schools?

AND, MajorLiar,
THAT is exactly why I will never call you anything except “MajorLiar” (or, when appropriate, MajorIdiot or MajorMistake) – you LIE, constantly, demand “citattions” from others, and just KEEP lying when you prove you wrong.
Up there at 10:03, you posted that Kamala DID NOT say she wanted to remove SROs from schools. TWO PEOPLE contradicted you, GAVE you cites, and . . . less than 40 minutes later, you REPEATED your damn lie, again, and then kvetched about “it was only a 9 second clip” (after .40 cal had GIVEN YOU THE LINK TO THE ENTIRE SPEECH.
You are a propagandist troll, and a lying liar who lies. Go fornicate yourself, vigorously, with a barb wire wrapped Louisville Slugger, you lying sh*tbag of a lying Leftist/fascist propagandist.
SRO’s are only as effective as the individual officer on duty. A good officer will be effective. A lazy or otherwise less interested officer will be less than useless.
Best case would be to have officers with their own kids in the school they are working at. Give them a reason to be on the job and pay attention to the details.
The county school system here has done well in putting bullet and impact resistant doors and windows into the buildings. They require visitors to be identified and buzzed into a vestibule with limited access to the rest of the school building. Yes, if someone is determined to enter, there are ways of doing so. But in general they do a decent job of security.
An idea I’ve seen floated out there is asking for parents and grandparents to act as armed security on a part time volunteer basis.
The SRO who stopped the 14 year old pos has barely got recognition from any lame stream media. I remember seeing the armed sro(a seriously mean little armed white guy)tear into a black punk attempting to enter the high school. Mostly supported by the HS parents. Black one’s too! Of course Kamaltoe has no biological chillen(just creepy step kids)🙄
That would’ve changed if he had taken his head off with the 12 gauge.
If she gets in the confiscation/buyback program that she will force through will be very interesting to watch.
Interesting to see who the collection volunteers will be.
Will they try something like dacian’s Caravan of Death?
A good funny one. For those not up on code, simply copy and paste the below in reply, move the h to your right one click. Highlight and click or copy and paste into your ISP Search.
