"... What's so significant, he said, is that while Mississippi hasn’t overcome poverty or RACISM, it still manages to get kids to read and excel...."
...
They just can't help themselves from taking a pot shot at us.

Im not sure you can overcome racism when most of the teachers and staff are black, and so are the kids.

His point is you can't or shouldn't use those things as excuses not to educate children.
“You cannot use poverty as an excuse. That’s the most important lesson,” Deming added. “It’s so important, I want to shout it from the mountaintop.” What Mississippi teaches, he said, is that “we shouldn’t be giving up on children.”
It's an important point.
And I think the buy-in (enthusiastic buy-in) of the teachers is another point. From the article:
Another is that while education reforms around the country have often been ferociously contentious and involved battles with teachers’ unions, this education revolution in Mississippi unfolded with support from teachers and their union.
“This is something I’m proud of,” said Erica Jones, a second-grade teacher who is the president of the Mississippi affiliate of the National Education Association, the teachers’ union. “We definitely have something to teach the rest of the country.”

I would find that shocking. I know 50+ and know about 10 who semi regularly go to the firing range. Most of the rest of them shoot out back or at a friend's house.

So what is the point you are making?

Most people with guns don't go to firing ranges, and most people who will commit a mass shooting probably are in the group of people who don't go to firing ranges and probably go into the woods near their house

But... the problem is the guns zito.
There are lots of guns at a shooting range.
why aren't the guns killing people at the shooting range?

inherently is doing a lot of work in this question
but yes, as soon as a gun enters the house or is possessed
the person or family is at a greater risk than they were before to gun violence
that's just a fact
I'm guessing none of that will change your stance though cause that's not your point you're shooting for etc
also, I don't give a **** what sex or race any shooter is, I want hard sentences on gun crimes. **** any loser like that Hollywood Florida shooter
hippies were homeless people ftr
the companies are leaving San Fran cause of too much theft and possible the other factors too. would really have to look at the numbers if you were allowed to do determine the exact reason but just letting people steal stuff isn't sustainable
hmmm, I think I covered enough of the topics I read from last time I posted here.
but I really wanted to respond to the "clever" gun question the most

Tim Hortons is so bad. Canadians have no idea what a real donut is supposed to taste like.

This highlights a serious problem in the legal system. A judge had to sign off on there being probable cause. The prosecutor has little to fear in terms of consequences. The system is stacked against people like this. The bar to arrest people and prosecutors to charge is way too low. Almost every judge is a former prosecutor. Defense lawyers dont get appointed to judgeships. Its not a coincidence.
