If you see something, shoot something

He is absolutely right: The only way to end the scourge of school shootings is to arm teachers to the teeth
I’d even go a step farther. I’d arm the students.
So, taking that into consideration, I think it’s important to empower students. As such, they should be allowed to pick out their own weapons. If a kid feels like he or she needs an AR-15, like the one that was used to slaughter 17 kids and teachers in Florida last week, hell, give ’em an AR-15

If we’re going to really make America great again, our kids need the ability to convert their semiautomatics into fully automatics. Anybody who is against that probably kneels during our national anthem or burns the flag or voted for that commie Bernie Sanders.

And if there is some collateral damage — say they shoot the gym teacher or a janitor or maybe the nice old lady who volunteers at the library — what can I say? As our esteemed president told the grieving widow of a soldier killed in action, they knew what they were signing up for.

Now, when we’re talking about elementary school kids and even kindergartners, there is legitimate concern about arming them. Frankly, a child like that is too small to carry an assault rifle.
So, being the rational, reasonable guy that I am, I have come up with a compromise: the two-shot Derringer. It’s small, compact, easy to use, capable of being stored in a child’s lunch box.
