Anything they want to do in a school for security they should have to do in their own workplace for two years first. Arm congress and senate during debate.
I’m even okay with auto-loading rifles designed for convenient urban and indoor use in this context. With the best tactical sights money can buy.

Teachers can’t afford basic supplies for their students and now they want them to buy guns. (headdesk)

Gingrich was one of the principle architects of the Republican party’s decline into extra-shitiness, so this honestly does not surprise me at all.

There are 3.2 million teachers in America. And each of them is going to need a service weapon. Someone will have to manufacture and sell all those! Follow the money.

As an alternative, perhaps we could fit the children with exploding neck collars? Just a thought.
More seriously, fuck this assclown.

Mark Delsing no idea if you got the chance to red this article on not, but one of the points it makes is really interesting – “After decades of anti-union attacks, the liberal-left landscape is largely barren of mass organizations that provide services and leadership opportunities comparable to what the NRA offers.” And after reading a bit more into this, it’s not about the money that NRA donates, but the voting base it commands that centrist / right leaning politicians are afraid to piss off.

This is a cowardly suggestion, doesn’t go nearly far enough. Why not arm all the students as well? “Here’s your pencil, eraser, and your extra capacity mag for your AR-15. You get that in the gym.”

Radek Drozdalski Good point. They still spend a lot of money, though, as the article also admits.
I think the (alt-)Right as a whole generally benefits from powerful, well-organized, uh, organizations that the Left simply lacks — as the article states. The Left has no NRA, no Breitbart, no Fox News, no Koch Brothers, etc.
