I hope they realize that this will not be welcome or even useful. It's just another psycho hero fantasy.

school children will be killed in the ensuing firefight? What's the "acceptable" number of children parents are wiling to lose so the NRA won't be inconvenienced? These questions should be answered now, before the next assault weapon fan-boy decides he hates everyone in the world.

The schools around here will not even pay for adequate classroom supplies. There is not enough construction paper. In our district, they asked the parent/teacher group to give them money for construction paper and other art supplies.

If they will not pay for fucking construction paper, who will buy the guns? The NRA? What kind of priorities are these?

Teachers buy supplies out of their own pockets. I suppose they will have to buy their own guns, too?

The right person has not been killed.

Wait until an event happens to some congress-critter and watch how fast everything changes.

Sad, but that is a piece of how our political system works.
