I love Paul Krugman's description of Gingrich: "Newt is a stupid man's idea of what a smart man is like."

(7,400 posts)1. My 90 pound daughter is a school teacher and is adamantly opposed to carrying a gun. So who will be the eager beavers that want to pack heat? And does "Stand Your Ground" extend to the occasional unruly student?

2. Kids are pretty savvy. It will take about two days for them to figure out which teachers are armed and what their schedules are. In a large school a lot of damage can be done before teacher A or teacher B can get from the cafeteria to the auditorium, or wherever.

The solution is...sad to say having Paul Ryans kids or Mitch McConnells grandkids, or Trumps son Baron, or any politicians family member to be murdered by a mental patient or just an evil murderer. I have said this for years..... If a family member of a politician gets killed or hurt on a broken bridge, I guarantee that bridge will be fixed in a week.
