South Fork High on Lockdown Awaiting Sheriff But Everything Under Control, Says Staff Member
South Fork High School stock photo
At 1:46 p.m., Karl Terrell, Director of Transportation for the Southern Humboldt Unified School District assured us that a situation that required the school to be put on lockdown was under control.
“We’re just waiting for the Sheriffs,” Terrell said.
A woman who was causing a disturbance is no longer an issue, Terrell explained. and the school is under a lockdown as they await law enforcement’s arrival.

So let me get this straight, the Bus Driver said everything was OK???!!! WTF, OVER!!!! It was bad enough to lockdown the school but now the Bus Driver says everything is Hunky Dory again!!!???
Dan, if you are saying Karl is just a bus driver–first, you don’t know the responsibility that bus drivers have every day. They have my respect. Second, you don’t know Karl. Everyone I know respects him. He is the Director of Transportation and a fine man.
Karl is the backbone of many sporting programs also. He is not only the director of transportation but a football coach and previous wrestling coach. He has led Southfork to many victorious wins and he sincerely cares for the students at Southfork. Karl is loved and appreciated by his student athletes and many of their families. He will be terribly missed when he retires next year.
Yes and yes.
Senegal bus driver goes postal in italy.
Karl is a pillar of the community as far as I’m concerned, I’ll take his word over anyone elses in the adminstration!
Dan F, don’t disrespect people you don’t know. WTF with 4 !!!! is not okay.
To question a bus driver over law enforcement making the statement.. is totally reasonable.
Yeah every time i see on the news a school in lockdown..
I await the bus drivers comments..clearing the scene..
A simple question was NOT disrespectful..
Your snide comment was… how exactly are people supposed to know…that since you know him…. hes where the press should go.
First, to be clear. Karl is the Director of Transportation. As far as I know he does not drive a bus. So I am unclear why he keeps being referred to as a bus driver except as some sort of attempt to minimize his position. I never referred to him as such.
Second, I assumed that I was talking to folks in Southern Humboldt as this was about their school. For most of us, Karl’s name is synonymous with someone that can be trusted. He often speaks on issues important to the community and people listen. I’m sorry that you didn’t understand that.
🕯Was it just a crazy or a Annie Oakley? Or am I stepping out of bonds?
So now if someone just makes a disturbance in the general area of a school they lock it down and then refusal to lift the lockdown even after the situation is under control?? WOW…
Better safe than sorry my friend. I think the lock down is a good idea before the police can arrive. God knows what else could go wrong.
Keeping it locked down after clearance is given is not acceptable.
The police are the ones that should give the all clear to the school.
Or a guard. Where is the guard?
The school district I think cannot afford a guard. Would be nice if an off duty police officer would be willing to help the school. I went there in the 60’s, and we never had the problems that face today’s kids and schools. Times have changed for the worst. Now how do we stop it?
Good question. My first thought consists of rethinking the budget expenditures. There’s plenty of money, but it’s spent in the most corrupt ways imo.
The school district has a severe lack of funds at this time. Maybe if all the parents with kids there could raise enough money, a guard could be hired. Otherwise I don’t see a solution to the present problem. Maybe a Go Fund Our School project could be started?
How is locking kids in a schoolroom going to keep them safe? If it’s a shooter all it’s going to do is concentrate their number into one place and make them an easier Target. If it’s just a random crazy person then they need some kind of security staff to detain the person. When will California figure out that cowering in the corner is not a good way to protect yourself… Correct me if I’m wrong, but it sounded like there was enough time for this to be reported to the media and a story posted before the sheriff even arrived?
Fish n a barrel. I was thinking the same thing. A shooter and rapist favorite tactic for victims. Stay put, shut your mouth, and do NOTHING
Lock down is to keep kids secure. Luckily you haven’t had to deal with an active shooter – the message of alls ok is to put the parents at ease. A kind text Ide say. Have a blessed day.
Not many people have had to deal with an active shooter. You’re more likely to get struck by lightning twice than you are to be in a mass shooting. In fact unless you’re suicidal, you have less than a 0.004761904761904762% chance of being killed by a gun In the US. And how is locking kids in a classroom going to prevent an active shooter from shooting them? That makes about as much sense as hiding under a desk during a nuclear explosion. There’s only three thing that ever stops an active shooter. Either they run out of bullets,shoot themselves or get shot by a good guy with a gun. Very seldomly do they ever surrender or stop on their own accord, unless they’re just after a specific Target. So unless the rooms are bullet proof I don’t see how locking 30 students into one classroom the size of typical living room is going to help them at all… Armed security and a Strategic Exit Plan well-rehearsed, would be a better alternative.
Maybe your assuming all the facts are known.
Imagine being in a classroom with 0 communication. You get the lockdown notice.
Is it a shooter? 2 shooters?
How many? Where are they?
I think your assuming a lot, and not empathizing with the facts on the ground.
Teachers for the most part, want to protect the children. This, for right now, is the best way.
That’s pretty much my point. If the general public and schools are so concerned about shooting at schools then new policies should be implemented that will actually protect the kids. like arm guards or a rehearsed strategic exit plans. Classroom should have intercom systems with the main office, surveillance camera should be set up in hallways. That way you could have somebody to direct the Exit Plan without putting the students in the line of fire, or at least have a safe room setup that will actually stop a bullet. Most school buildings are built like every other house. a couple layers of sheetrock maybe a layer of plywood. a door that would take no more than a couple rounds of ammunition to get through, walls that someone can simply just shoot through, big windows that people could simply just shoot through. Concentrating a large number of people in a vulnerable room is not keeping them safe.
AGREED! Valid points THC, thanks for offering sensible solutions that, imo, require serious consideration and action.
While those are awesome ideas, and some are implemented throught various cities, this is South Fork High.
The lockdown likely came from the intercom, but I doubt they have much more.
On the local level, I’m sure schools could sell enough cookies to buy 1 camera, but the rest is up to the community.
On the Federal level, I wonder how the partisanship and parties would play out.
It seems hiding in classes has helped through the last 5 years of shootings.
Alternatively, look at the Vegas incident with Paddock. People everywhere and the deadliest yet.
The following is a fraction of what our Reps deal with when promoting spending money on anything, most especially schools.
The teachers bake sale may buy 1 camera….
But not the wiring.
Not the 2nd camera, or the 3rd.
How many classrooms are there?
Who’s watching, on what monitors?
Are they recorded? On what? How long?
What’s the pay rate for the guy behind the monitors? How many are needed? Pensions?
Who does the maintenance?
Is it on a grid, with other schools? Districts?
Now. How about steel walls and gun-safety rooms….
Where does the money come from?
Guess what. It ain’t coming.
The schools have been underfunded since I don’t know when.
Teachers can tell you about trying to buy basic classroom materials, let alone steel walls.
Let’s ask Trump for that “emergency” wall money?
I hate to say it but no Republican rep would support the tax increases needed to educate the children more, or protect them rationally.
Thank goodness Karl was there to let parents know not to worry as the school still had to followed protocol- waiting for LEOs can take a while and people freak out in seconds. Where was the Superintendent anyway? Once again Karl is holding down the fort while others go off to rub elbows and build resumes. What a joke. Thank you, Karl. This district will surely crumble without you.
They kept both the junior high and high school stand on the ball field in the rain. For 1.5 hrs. BECAUSE… nobody had the code to shut off a fire alarm. Then they canceled school and left the alarm ring for???? I’ll bet people from miranda can tell us.
it wasn’t even a serious lockdown, we just had the doors locked and weren’t allowed to let anyone in until cleared. also wasn’t general area, she was ON campus around students, and when told she wasn’t allowed on campus she responded with, “yes i am.” so there was also refusal to leave the campus which makes sense to have the lockdown.
He’ll. The police shut a major road down for a plastic jug. I’ll betcha a firecracker would do the same for a school. Maybe even passing gas Pitiful
🕯Thank you for the correction.
Well idk about all of you but Humboldt has become out of control lately. I hope it’s a minor issue. But even so a minor issue can wind up with a big outcome. Rather know my kids (if they attended that school) r safe rather than sorry. Precautions are sometimes neccessary
Garberville and 2nd street in eureka is the poster child for upcoming California as a whole. This is what California voters want. Drug addicts,thieves, convicts and street bums will be catered too. The law abiding shop owners and working class will be taxed, punished , pissed on and bleed out to make sure the people who refuse to work and/or are to lame ,stupid or have a fancy for molesting children are taking care of.
California….. we are coming for you America!
Those effing 1%ers have been getting the middle class to pay their bills for decades now. You should put a stop to that.
Tax the rich. Feed the poor. Flip the money tables.
One can never be too safe in this day and age. Italy school bus: https://twitter.com/TeaBoots/status/1108398819459387392
crazies crazies everywhere: Breaking911 https://twitter.com/Breaking911
But, even so, it’s crazier still to keep everyone on lockdown after the clearance is given. There’s preparation and there’s paranoia. Know the difference.
Hate colored folks much?
Crazies are everywhere, a couple on this thread.
Funny you post a Twitter link to a “migrant” school bus situation with no deaths in Italy as a citation for “crazies”. But no mention of 50 dead by NZ shooter…Fucking what?
You screamed fake crisis actors for Parkland Fl, and same for NZ. Why?
Maybe you just like white mass shooters? Or can your brain only process non-white crime?
What you posted today, was literally on Alex Jones front page yesterday.
I make sure to check his bullshit nymphowhores once a day, so I know what you and a few others here will be talking about tomorrow.
Sounds like an ethnophaulism :
Colored folk
“A commonly used Term even still used today by older generations – heard my grandma say it the other day in the hospital in fact ” theres a colored nurse who comes in here whos nice” used to describe a black person I.E. a nigger coon porch monkey jiggaboo you get the idea. Jiggaboo jiggaboo where are you, i was here on the wood pile watchin you.
“Got dangit george, them colored folk sure are gettin mighty uppity lately round here. Danged ol colored folk comin to have a chat with me right now george, “we dont like your kind round here ya’hear” gone head get ya uppity colored ass outta hea long with all the other moon crickets.”
https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Colored%20folk
Except when I point out Shaks racial and information bias, I used colored folks as a catch all for non-whites, and I’m not degrading anyone but Shak and Alex Phoney.
But if you go on with this childish reply, I’ll throw you under the bus too.
Your obviously upset you got schooled about gun control by me.
Now, you take this route. All the cheerleading shak does for you is paying off.
I wonder, do you think; Sandy Hook, Parkland, and NZ were fake too?
You don’t have the power to throw me anywhere.
I didn’t read Shak using any ethnophaulisms. Is it just because of the story he posted? I posted the same story from a different site. Someone hijacking a school bus and trying to burn everyone alive is pretty messed up.
Yawn.
Read my comment to shak, point is clear to most with logic and brainpower.
The point is he thinks mass shootings by whites are faked.
Immigrants and only immigrants are real news.
Grow up
Your attempt at logical extrapolation is a stretch.
This is me throwing you, to point out why your attacking me for pointing out Shaks BS.
Ullr quote before school:
“There was no gun rights campaigns in that time frame because there was no question about the right to bear arms”

Ullr quote after school:
Cities, municipalities and other entities attempted to create and enforce gun control ordinances. What is your stance? That this happened? Ok. So what? What does that mean? What is your point?
Your upset, sorry. Just aiming for accuracy, nothing personal.
Also, there was gun control in the American South before the civil war. ” Free persons of color” were required to petition a court in order to legally carry a weapon in North Carolina.
Source: The Lumbee Indians: an American Struggle, Chapter 3 page 66- this is an interesting read in very many ways. The author, Malinda Maynor Lowery cites two other sources: Franklin: Free Negro in North Carolina. and Milteer: Complications of Liberty
So much for the myth of Liberty Loving Southern States.
Brian. Are you familiar with Carroll Quigley?
Bill Clinton Gave Him A NOD When He Secured The Democratic Presidential Ticket.
“Tragedy and Hope” isnt light reading, but there are people out there who spent decades studying the importance of that book.
There’s always room on the bus for the awakened mind and spirit. History is written by the winners. Even within our historical record there is some real challenges to believing the veracity. Even modern events will be expunged of critical review over time.
Question : Are you aware that in 1999 , a civil trial in Memphis TN, found that elements of local, state, and federal government were found responsible for MLK’a death?
The pacifist and author, James Douglas was present for the entire 30 day trial, you might find his perspective quite enlightening.
As stated, we need more people to waken to the 3 dimensional chessboard.

I met William Pepper and talked on many conference calls with him, as I was a volunteer team leader in a group he became interested in helping around 2007-2009.
I’d love to see Brzezinski go on trial, but more so Kissinger.
Have you heard of a Comic Book called “The Big Lie”?
Its mine. Literally.
I made it. I edited it. I payed the artists. I own the company. We sold out of 10,000 copies, published by the 3rd largest comic publisher.
I’m not fooled by much.
Google it. The Big Lie.
Youll know I’m “OK” with alternative information.
I just like to be accurate.
My comic was covered by Al Jazeera, Good Morning America, even nymphowhores and more.
I’m not proud to say it, nor would I post a link, but Alex Phoneys and Nymphowhores even published articles I wrote in 2008-2010.
Fuck that charlaten.
So don’t worry, I’m good. And I’m on my side, which is right for me.
That’s because there wasn’t any.
I think this video sums up what is happening on Kym’s blog. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8_EoMmuqVU&feature=youtu.be
Shak, calling someone a racist is a strong charge, and I’m not calling you it yet.
What I am doing is pointing out your bias, which can be interpreted as subconscious racism by many, including me….
If I’m right, I’m sure you’ll think about it.
It’s almost as if the far left want to burn the children, women and men with ….

That’s a light sample of your words through the last year.
As I pointed out, the white mass shooters get a pass by you because you falsely think they were staged, faked.
So above you post a link to a Senegalese migrant in Europe who didnt kill anyone as evidence of “crazies”, while nothing critical is said by you of a white mass shooter!
And I didnt find any comments from you denouncing the alt-Reich murder in North Carolina, where “good people” were on both sides.
LOL, Brian you’re definitely a couple 6-packs shy of a case son… But after all, it is people like you that makes these thread so entertaining;>) I’m still trying to figure out how them black panthers travel back in time over a hundred years to get the founding fathers to create the Second Amendment to protect us from them color foke though?
Thc,
With respect, you’ve missed the points.
I never said the Panthers created the 2nd.
I just informed you they were the first to exploit it, and besides the 250 year old quotes you post, all your gun dogma came from the BPP.
Gun control is older than your grandaddy, son.
The path of least resistance, that is, is THROUGH THE STEEL BUILDING! It’s counterintuitive, but then again, I’m only relying on science. You are relying on…. (comic books 😉
“You down BPP?
YOU KNOW ME! ”
Cheers man. Thanks for reply.
The above quote was from the comments on “the big lie”review.
I’m curious if all this truth will be lost on the next generation’s ability to separate fact from fiction.
Keep up the good work, mate!

Sid, below is a page from the comic regarding the towers. You should be able to click the picture for full size.
I’ll be honest though, the best researched areas of 9/11 have nothing to do with the towers.
The best clear cut damming evidence is actually naming names in the CIA that covered for Khalid al Mindar and Nawaf al Hazmi to stay in San Diego for a year before the attacks.
If people read one book in 10 years regarding 9/11, I would recommend. The watchdogs Didnt Bark.
https://books.google.com/books/about/The_Watchdogs_Didn_t_Bark.html?id=ASE9MQAACAAJ&source=kp_book_description
Infact, watch this interview by those authors of Richard Clarke. It is an explosive series of comments by Clarke regarding George Tenant hiding CIA activities from FBI regarding 2 hijackers particularly.
https://youtu.be/bl6w1YaZdf8
Its one interview of many, and it was 8 years ago, their updated works are more explosive and specific.
If it doesn’t break rules and kym was down with it, I have 10 -20 copies of the comic left to shell out.
I’d mail them to anyone who donates $25 to Kym with comment in donation “regarding comic book.”
Have you listened to Richard Grove, who hosts the Tragedy and Hope podcast? He talks about driving to a meeting in the one of towers, that he was late to, and noticed that there was street blocking signs already in place before the towers were hit. …I’m sure you have heard it.
It’s the lie that has shaped a generation, and the truth is outhat there for those who care about the truth.
The truth is the system has been high jacked for a very long time, and we are “free to protest. …as long as we pay our taxes”
Have you listened to the interview with Norman Dodd on tax exempt foundations?
It’s a real connection in this matrix of dots.
Thanks for the info.
I suppose I did miss your right turn at Albuquerque. I was referring to the creation of the Second Amendment ( and why it was created) not the start of restrictions to people’s ability to have and bear arms.. simply to point out the fact that the second amendment was not created to uphold hunting rights. But specifically created so the people of a country would have a way of restraining a tyrannical government.
I hear you.
Indeed, breaking from the British was a very big deal.
And the 2nd did give us a foundation for bearing arms as a right. It’s very nice to have!
The sentiment that we would need it for fighting our own government was largely gone post-revolution (though an argument could be made for civil war days).
As I’ve posted, the old west was full of gun control. “Six shooters” were a menace when they came out. Cowmen were murdering ruthlessly. It was a problem, and people dealt with it through gun control.
I think you and I, and others have debated the futility of our arms vs. The military.
I posted a lengthy post below, if you care for more of my point of view.
https://kymkemp.com/2019/03/21/south-fork-high-on-lockdown-awaiting-sheriff-but-everything-under-control-says-staff-member/#comment-797251
The second amendment does not say the “right to keep and bear SIDE ARMS or PERSONAL FIREARMS” it says “arms” because it meant all arms. My understanding is that the British forces went to Lexington and Concord to seize cannons, and that the cannons they were unable to seize were used by the revolutionaries at the Battle of Bunker Hill. The cannons in question were the premier battlefield weapons of their day. And the known history of the British attempts to seize them was part of the reason for the second amendment, hence the phrase “well regulated militia.” The “well regulated” part distinguished the militia with battlefield weapons from marauders. It didn’t reference our current idea of “regulations.”
I’ve always thought that all armaments are covered by the second amendment including thermonuclear weapons, or at least conventionally armed tanks.
What happend to you life. I feel sorry for you. Your not throwing anyone under any bus except yourself. You need help bud I’m sorry. You comment so much you have become a joke. Good luck ✌️
I go tit for tat in comment replies, so maybe you think Parkland was a fake shooting and don’t like my points, or style of making them.
Maybe your a diehard 2nd backer, that also did not know the gun control history of the US?
Or do you not like comic books?
How is it I comment “so much” when I’m literally responding to 4 people who respond to me?
Offer some constructive criticism, beyond picking 1 of 2 people in a debate and thinking you know a bird-shit worth of my life.
Throwing Ullr under the bus is me losing some respect I held for him as he tried to put me into the racist club for pointing our Shaks obvious racial and information bias. When just 5 days ago Ullr tried to argue “squarehead” is as offensive to whites as “nigger” is to blacks. If it wasn’t so misinformed it would be funny.
I think its gross to let people throw lies as facts when they don’t know squat.
I love to point it out too, especially as the person falls deeper into belief and further from facts and knowledge.
I have no loyalty to any commentor or belief. It’s my life, and it’s ok with me if people hate me. It just doesn’ matter to me as much as accuracy in a political discussion.
I know, it’s weird someone giving such a damn on things, but hey, we all got something to contribute.
In a slight agreement with you, I think I’m wasting my time.
People get stuck in belief, no matter the facts in front of them. Sometimes I think I should just let lies be, and not worry about misinformation.
But I worry about the future of our country and the children.
* So the debate is less for the people debating, and more for the brains reading – in my opinion.
Sure I’m ugly with language and can be an asshole, but I sleep at night knowing I didnt lie.
So…that’s it.
👍hmmm ok
I wasn’t implying you are a racist. I was pointing out your hypocrisy.
You are consistent at misrepresenting my point of view as well. Ethnophaulisms shouldn’t be offensive to anyone. They are just words. That was my whole premise from the first comment on the subject.
Brian said “Try to find “gun rights campaigns” anywhere from 1800-1960 and post a link if you do.” You used “gun rights” repeatedly, and then you proceeded to post on “gun control”. Quite the opposite.
And still, after all your rambling on the subject, I fail to comprehend your point.
Ullr,
With respect if you don’t see any points I’ve made, I don’t think I can clear them up with more words.
The point I made waaaaay long ago was that besides your 250 year old quotes, all your 2nd amendment dogma came from the black panthers.
Well, the “taking our guns” comes from 1980s Republican propaganda.
The more extreme “communist Democrat” angle is more of that. (Though I know you never had said Communist Democrats in this reference)
Another point was that the 2nd amendment has been a foundation of rights, but gun control has been around a long time. It was obvious you didnt know this, because when I asked for “gun rights” campaigns, you said there “were no efforts” to control guns pre-1950.
Another point is you refuse to be open to gun control discussion, as its just “an attempt to take the 2nd away”. Yet, and again, gun control has always been here, adapting to the times – and the crimes. And for people who think it’s a Democratic conspiracy,in the 1800’s gun control had nothing to with Democrats.
Frankly, I don’t think your right regarding the language, but I want to back away from arguing my point.
It could simply be cleared up if you had ever agreed that “nigger” was offensive to blacks.
But instead you tried to deflect with an idea that “squarehead” could be equay offensive to whites.
And you just said again it shouldn’t be offensive, because it’s an ethnophaulism.
Whatever big words you put on it, that’s what you said. It’s ridiculous.
Why should I have to research everything for you, you chose the word, here’s the first google definition:
ethnophaulism. Noun. (pluralethnophaulisms) An ethnic or racial slur, typically caricaturing some identifiable (often physical) feature of the group being derided. For example, “nigger”, an offensive word for those of African ancestry, refers to their black skin.
Lastly, the point I made for Shak is clear. And maybe more so now.
Maybe my memory is better and you need more context, so here:

It’s your right to jump in any time. I obviously did not take to your timing or angle.
You and I have had plenty of polite disagreements. I do think your stubborn. We both voted Ron Paul 08. We have agreed a ton too.
I’m sorry that I got frustrated with you, but I think you earned it too.
I would still buy you a beer if ever given a chance.
Regards
Always a good to be extra careful when children involved having them shelter in place until the police cleared everything was the right thing to do hard to believe something like that could happen but nowadays it could
The Safety and Security of students and staff is paramount.
I for one am glad that they watch out so well for our children exspesualy these days people are crazy anymore at times
The woman was harassing the students. She followed them yell and ranting at them all the way from the cafe. Some kids said she was scared. A lock down can’t be released until the subject is removed from campus by the way. And the way I read it is the Karl said it was in control and they were waiting for law enforcement to arrive. Can’t release until law enforcement clears it at that point.
A men a very fine man glad he was there to protect my nephew and the rest of the children
its ‘amen’
I totally support the decision to lock down today when a situation like this occurs. If there’s a woman on campus who shouldn’t be there who is harassing the students the kids should be safely protected, in case the situation got much worse. Southfork has no fences or gates so people can just walk onto campus, so people have to be really vigilant to make sure no one comes on campus who could potentially be dangerous.
👍🏻😇
“Awaiting Sheriff “ Good luck with that! If you want to speed things up tell them no one is armed and there’s no AP boys there. They’ll be there in a jiffy.
Vatican has a wall,why can’t a school be like a prison?
I saw a short video of the lady. She was screaming about how the kids need to be set free. How was she going to free them? I personally feel that the lock down was appropriate since no one knew what her intentions were.
I was there and found the procedures of the School was prompt and effective.The last thing we need in any situation is hundreds of students and parents running around in panic and chaos .
and as far as Karl he has many hats not just bus also maintenance and many other responsibilitys.
Sheltering in place is always preferred when you are well prep.ared to defend yourself by any means necessary.
Santa Maria, KMUD was there to accept the call from HCCC and verify that this action was “for the children….”
Anyone remember South Fork “marching for their lives” a year ago?
We are bombarded by news daily, and often can’t handle the connections to the older stories because of information overload.
1 year and 1 week ago exactly Kym posted this story regarding South Fork High:

South Fork was in solidarity with the victims of Parkland, Fl school shooting.
Yesterday news broke of a young girls suicide; a survivor of Parkland could not cope with the PTSD:

(Fox has a video report for CNN haters)
It’s a sad story, but worse, people compound the real news of tragedy with unfounded conspiracy theories regarding “crisis actors” and fake shooters. Going further, it’s all a big George Soros scheme to help the Communist Democrats take our guns.
Shak, for only one example, posted about a business that can hire you some crisis actors (in a follow-up article of S. Fork and Parkland)

These are more than questions. And it’s not followed by research.
It is compounding on a large scale tragedy, that though we are connected by internet, shows the severe disconnect from the lives truly affected.
Unfortunately, I’ve come to see that most of the people arguing for Gun Rights have no idea about America’s Gun Control history.
Though I do own guns, I never studied much about the history of them….until becoming interested in winning an arguement against diehards.
The 2nd amendment was a foundation for a right to bear arms. It’s not the whole house.

“Gun Control and the Old West” by NDSU
Excerpt: Pioneer publications show Old West leaders repeatedly arguing in favor of gun control. City leaders in the old cattle towns knew from experience what some Americans today don’t want to believe: a town which allows easy access to guns invites trouble.
What these cow town leaders saw intimately in their day-to-day association with guns is that more guns in more places caused not greater safety, but greater death in an already dangerous wilderness. By the 1880s many in the west were fed up with gun violence. Gun control, they contended, was absolutely essential, and the remedy advocated was usually no less than a total ban on pistol-packing.
Old West cattlemen themselves also saw the need for gun control. By 1882, a Texas cattle raising association had banned six-shooters from the cowboy’s belt. “In almost every section of the West murders are on the increase, and cowmen are too often the principals in the encounters,” concurred a dispatch from the Texas Live Stock Journal dated June 5, 1884. “The six-shooter loaded with deadly cartridges is a dangerous companion for any man, especially if he should unfortunately be primed with whiskey. Cattlemen should unite in aiding the enforcement of the law against carrying of deadly weapons.”
“Gun Control is as Old as the Old West” by Smithsonian magazine
Excerpt: “Tombstone had much more restrictive laws on carrying guns in public in the 1880s than it has today,”
Dodge City, Kansas, formed a municipal government in 1878. According to Stephen Aron, a professor of history at UCLA, the first law passed was one prohibiting the carry of guns in town, likely by civic leaders and influential merchants who wanted people to move there, invest their time and resources, and bring their families. Cultivating a reputation of peace and stability was necessary, even in boisterous towns, if it were to become anything more transient than a one-industry boom town.
“A history of Major Gun Control laws in America” by Time
This article simply puts dates and explanations for the Federal gun control laws that started in 1930’s.
Theres no easy answers for complex discussions, so resorting to “takin’ our guns” is unacceptable. I have yet to see one commentor advocate for “taking all the guns”.
Maybe next time the South Fork students march for their lives, maybe join them, become connected through life. The disconnect of the internet must be realized.
Thanks South Fork for your efforts a year ago.
I’m glad there was no situation during this lockdown, as I can only imagine the conspiracy mill that would follow, and of course, for your safety.
