White House Meeting with State Officials on Gun Safety Senior White House staff held a meeting with approximately 70 state legislators, governors’ office staff, and other state leaders to discuss implementation of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act’s enhanced background checks for young people under age 21. Already, these enhanced background checks have stopped hundreds of transfers of firearms to the hands of individuals under age 21 who are prohibited from purchasing firearms. Officials from the U.S. Department of Justice explained how the enhanced background checks process works. To maximize the benefits of this provision, the White House urged state leaders to help implement the enhanced background checks by pursuing the following three actions: Encourage state repositories of relevant juvenile mental health and criminal justice records to respond to enhanced background checks inquiries; Encourage local law enforcement to respond to enhanced background check inquiries; and Make changes, if needed, to state privacy laws to ensure those laws do not prohibit states from providing to the federal background check system information relevant to the enhanced background checks.

The "forces of Evil" is a term from the Dark Ages. The shooter was mentally ill. The reason it happened wasn't because "God" created the situation. Un reasonable gun laws by Republicans, a system that allows mentally ill person to buy AK-15's, lack of mental health facilities are some of the reasons this happened. Humans diagnosed with mental illness should not be able to own guns. Normal people frequently lose control during arguments over money, intra-personal issues with family, friends, or people known to them. Law enforcement cannot predict who, when and where someone will lose control and start shooting people. Humans are just irrational primates, Only trained people in a military structure have any business to have a gun. Even police shoot people accidently or on purpose.

So Now America Simply Gives Up? The Super Bowl parade in Kansas City this week left us with plenty of grief to process which, in my mind, does not equate to quitting. Americans should be able to gather together in a peaceful manner. That, is a certainty. There are no exceptions to this rule. Peace is not a foreign concept. Peace, essential to human existence, is at the essence of the American experiment. There is no question that we have much unpack here. Law enforcement failures that occurred should be identified through an honest postmortem process. Communities should be given a platform to express their feelings, concerns, and desires for the future. Government officials should consolidate resources to support their constituents and provide gentle, thought-provoking responses. America does not give up and quit. The time for quietly accepting this outlandish attitude is over. Terrible things happen. They will happen again. To submit to the tiny group of violent perpetrators might be the most un-American path to choose. Please stand up and support our fellow Americans in their time of need. Prayers, support, and calm thinking seem to Mee to be the orders of the day. https://lnkd.in/edbySGzS #police #policeofficer #policetraining #policeofficers #policedepartment #policejobs #policechief #policecommemorationday #lawenforcement #emergencymanagement #emergencypreparedness #emergencyresponse #emergencyservices #emergency #emergencyplanning #emt #emts #firesafety #firefighter #firesafety #firefighters #firefightertraining #publicsafety #kansascity #sanfrancisco #kansascitychiefs #sanfrancisco49ers #activeshooter #activeshootertraining

LAKEWOOD CHURCH ACTIVE SHOOTER INCIDENT – February 11, 2024 Key Takeaways: 1) Acknowledging the reality that it may not be practical in a very large venue like the Lakewood Church, there is no substitute for having a trained greeter / screener in front of a locked door. A trained greeter / screener controls access to the facility and uses their training and soft interrogation skills to determine if the person in front of them belongs or is a potential threat. 2) Having armed security guards or police officers working security at your synagogue is not a panacea for preventing active shooters. In this case the shooter was undeterred and undetected by uniformed police officers until she started shooting. The best use of armed personnel is to pair them with a trained greeter / screener. 3) Think about, train for, and be prepared for unusual and unorthodox threats. In this case, the shooter appeared to utilize tactics commonly employed by terrorist groups in the middle east. She had a child with her which served to reduce suspicion and had the effect of a human shield. She was also wearing what appeared to be an explosive suicide vest which she called a “bomb” and threatened to detonate multiple times during the attack. Have a plan. Train for the plan. Train for what happens when things don’t go according to plan. #synagoguesecurity #jewishcommunity #jewishcommunalsafety #jewishcommunalsecurity #synagoguesafety #HOWsecurity #sscna https://lnkd.in/g89NdpeR
