NRA supporters are in a tizzy

[ebacon]

We might go crazy like we did after 9/11 and require hardened doors on principals offices. Whatever it takes to make more money.

Our day-to-day life could become moving from safe zone to safe zone. Someone is chomping at the bit to sell all that hardware and security pass services.

Then there's this: from a practical point of view, being armed in the classroom doesn't really do anything beyond guaranteeing that you'll be the first one shot.

Right. Guns in the desk, teacher is at the chalkboard, gunman walks through the door, kills the teacher first (Because he knows the teacher is armed.) then takes out the kids.

Like I said, then lunatic La Pierre will advocate arming six year olds.

Interesting side note; A rightwinger female friend of mine posted to face book that she's found a "bulletproof backpack" online. "It's real cute, it has hearts and unicorns on it." She says. So she's getting a couple for her girls.
She seems to think this is the answer over preventing lunatics from obtaining weapons; "bulletproof clothing".

I don't know about you, but, i'd rather go after the root cause then have the kids wearing bullet-proof clothing and riding armored bicycles.

These people truly are out of their minds.

And, I'm guessing they contribute to the NRA and vote Republican?

Much, much better to just be shot

When the principal realised what was happening, you think she didn't want a gun? Yes she still may have had to lay down her life but she could've ended it with it.

I think we're overreacting. But if we are going to do so the only way to even partially secure the schools is, to secure the schools.

Which btw I largely disagree with.

No shoes allowed in any public space.

Why not, you've disagreed with all the other proposals.

Or gun nut parents will send their kids to school strapped. Probably already do.

It happened in a school here in Virginia yesterday. A twelve year old showed up for class packing heat.

Of course, this is Virginia. So, you charge the kid and release him to his parents---which is, most likely, where he got the gun. But, Lord knows you never blame the gun owner. They're like businessmen to the rightwinger, they never do anything wrong. It's ALWAYS got to be someone else who is to blame......
