The Byrna Shield

Learning from Andrew Pollack's Tragedy

Could Prevent Your Own...

Introducing The Byrna Shield:

A Commonsense Solution to a Difficult Reality

As children are going back to school, parents must be more vigilant than ever, get active in the schools and school boards, and seek out practical solutions to keeping their children safe. Getting involved locally can make a big difference. We are encouraged by the news of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis suspending four members of the Broward County School Board after reviewing a grand jury investigation into the 2018 mass shooting in Parkland, Florida. (The jury recommended that the board be suspended due to incompetence, neglect of duty and misuse of authority related to the shooting.) But what more can parents do to keep their children out of harm's way?

Parents are responsible for their children when they send them out the door.

They should know if and how their school is prepared against an active shooter.

Take action by ensuring your child has a chance to survive an active shooter.

While writing his book, Why Meadow Died: The People and Policies that Created Parkland's Shooter and Endanger America's Students, Parkland, FL shooting parent Andrew Pollack teamed up with a renowned education expert, Max Eden, to investigate and expose everything that enabled the tragedy. They quickly realized that it was the most avoidable mass murder in American history. And scarier still: the policies that made it inevitable have spread to your child's school.

An active shooting can take place anytime, anywhere.

The statistics are alarming!

School shootings are a wide-reaching problem that has gotten progressively worse in the past four decades. These horrific tragedies are unpredictable - no one knows where or when an active school shooting will take place. As difficult as this topic is to address, we must confront it head-on. Our children's lives are at stake. As parents, it is our duty to ensure their safety.

Learn about the sobering statistics from the Center for Homeland Defense and Security. Did you know:

·    The most common age of a shooter is 17, followed by 16 and 15.

·    Handguns were the most commonly used weapon in school shootings: Handguns: 1,344;

·    Rifles: 107.

·    Fall is the most common time of year for school shootings.

·    148 of the 320 students shot on college campuses were shot in mass shootings.

ABOUT ANDREW POLLACK: Andy became a nationally recognized activist for increased school safety measures after the High School shooting in Parkland Florida on February 14, 2018, which took the lives of 17 people, including his daughter, Meadow. Since that day, Andy has made it his life's mission to continue advocating for smarter, real-life solutions to an increasing yet avoidable issue in the United States.  After seventeen people were murdered at a high school in Parkland, Florida in 2018, the national conversation focused exclusively on a handful of students fighting for gun control. The media ignored the questions that matter: Why did this happen? How can we stop it from happening again? Moving forward without answers wasn't an option for Andy. He now dedicates his life to making schools safe again, founding a non-profit Americans for Children's Lives and School Safety and making sure that the families of victims get answers and justice.

Internal Radical Service: How the IRS abuses taxpayer dollars to advance leftwing causes illegally and unconstitutionally


Rampant Corruption and Partisanship by the IRS Revealed in New Report
By John Perazzo and David Horowitz

The IRS subsidized Democrat election campaigns and funded BLM riots

A pivotal report published this week by the David Horowitz Freedom Center reveals the blatant corruption and malfeasance within the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and its use as a partisan tool to aid the Democrat Party in winning elections and promoting radical causes.

In "Internal Radical Service: Abuse of Taxpayer Dollars to Advance Leftwing Causes," David Horowitz and John Perazzo reveal how the IRS has allowed hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars to fund left-wing advocacy foundations, violating its own rules, while denying conservative foundations the same privilege.

The IRS has already been weaponized as a national police force to harass, punish and obstruct conservative and religious organizations. But, as the authors reveal, this persecution of conservatives is only a small part of the story.

The IRS has violated its own policies by providing taxpayer subsidies to Democrat election campaigns, underwriting Black Lives Matter riots which caused billions of dollars in property damage and led to the deaths of scores of individuals, enabling the illegal invasion of our southern border and funding racist policies which violate the Civil Rights Act and The Constitution.

"This has had the effect of creating a lobby within the Democrat Party that has transformed it into a radical force bent on 'fundamentally transforming the United States of America,'" the authors explain.

The recent passage by Democrats of a bill that authorizes a ten-year, $80 billion hike in federal funding for the IRS and the hiring of 87,000 new agents makes these concerns even more pressing.

"Internal Radical Service documents these violations and their destructive consequences," said David Horowitz, founder of the David Horowitz Freedom Center. "We publish it as an appeal to Congress to investigate the abuses and restore the integrity of an organization which has become a major threat to our democracy." [more...]
