President Donald Trump lashed out at media coverage of his proposal to arm some teachers by denying that he ever made it.




Trump pitched his plan to arm teachers during a “listening session” with students on Wednesday, and such plans have been regularly pitched by the National Rifle Association as a potential solution to school shootings.

There's that "gun free zone" talking point again. The NRA is having all their puppets yap about this now. It's marketing. NRA wants to convince everyone that the answer to too many guns designed for mass shooting is more guns designed for mass shooting.

You owe me moonshine or at least a bottle of Jack Daniels. That thing did bad stuff to my head.

That article would take a while to unpack all the distortions and several factual articles to refute. According to what I've read, MS-13 started during Rotten Ronnie's time so it would be just as sane to blame it on him as on Obama's "open borders policy" (ignoring the facts of deportation under President Obama).

There's too much crazy in the world.

Trying to logically look at or read anything in it is like trying to get real news
from Fox News or insight from Rush.

BTW I didn't read too much in that link either.

Warning -- may cause gnashing of teeth or reduced reason.

Reality is bad enough:

"GOP lawmakers to Kentucky teachers: We’ll cut your pensions, but give you guns."

Every child, starting with 3rd grades, should be armed with an assault rifle with armor piercing rounds, the bad guy could be wearing a vest.

In case the bullets run out and it goes to HTH. We can employ Marine combat vets to instruct the little tykes in their effective use, leveraging the little ones' small size and agility.

"Stranger danger", my ass. Our schools, and our children, will never be safer.
