New facts are emerging out of the Texas elementary school where that awful shooting took place this week.

And these new facts somehow make the whole thing even more horrible because they suggest that the horror might have been prevented.

We're talking about simple facts here.

The doors to the school were unlocked.

The killer entered through an unmonitored door in the back.

There was no armed guard on duty anywhere on the school premises.

Had even just those circumstances been different.

Of course, it's no guarantee that the shooter would have been stopped or that the death toll would have been lower.

But it certainly would have reduced the likelihood that the shooter could have done what he did.

And it's precisely these sorts of facts that activists in the media are trying to deny.

I see this tonight with the hope, not with an expectation, but with the hope that people like Ted Cruz

and Greg Abbott and John Cornyn, people who were elected by Texans, will actually listen to it.

Instead of going right to gun control laws, don't work and we need armed teachers and guards at schools.

If your solution to children being massacred is armed guards, you haven't been paying attention to what's going on.

There was an armed guard in Buffalo.

There was an armed guard in Parkland.

There was an armed guard in New Valdi.

They had armed guards.

So, what Jimmy Kimmel just said is not true.

It's not true with regard to this shooting that we just saw in Texas.

I'm not even saying he's lying, he probably just doesn't know.

But that falsehood, and for some people that lie, is essential to the agenda.
