Supporting the NRA because they support the Second Amendment is akin to supporting the KKK because they're big fans of the First Amendment.

So Two Scoops is still Twitter-making GBS threads about this. He doubled down on arming teachers as the solution, then later on made another one clarifying he wasn't suggesting we give guns to teachers, just that he thinks we should give guns to about 20% of teachers as the solution.

That's totally different....somehow.

This. Eye is edited to gently caress and back. Skin is too smooth. Red as a background or primary color typically insinuates violence. Not to mention it’s a horrible pose and the photographer should feel loving ashamed for picking and then editing that monstrosity.

Teaching is going to be an MOS and the only way you can be a teacher is to join the military so that you get training.

Teacher still wouldn’t get any of the $700 billion defense budget though.

Every citizen shall be issued with wide, bowl shields that they must carry on their person at all times, in the event of a mass shooting event, it is the duty of each citizen to form into a perfect phalanx with no fewer than 8 members per row. You see this is a natural and good thing because, heavy infantry is the hallmark of a robust and virile democracy

That's awesome, I've been at a couple of conferences where he presented, but never had the chance to 1:1, he has a really solid core, but like most historians the competition for the "good" jobs and exposure has kinda cornered him both intellectually and in terms of his output. I recall a few of his blog posts on gerrymandering I'd love to hear what he has to say about the Pennsylvania redistricting.

That's almost Oklahoma's answer: The teacher has to have a reserve law enforcement certification ([url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_shooting_of_Eric_Harris]like this guy]) or an armed security guard license. (And permission from the school board)

Once they seriously talk about arming teachers as a solution, it runs up against everyone's lived life experience. We've all had teachers we barely trusted with markers. Not sure it matters though.

The NRA is just now starting to throw up their smoke, Trump is ranting about video games and giving armed teachers bonuses, and Congress is out of session. Give it another few weeks when the government needs to be funded, DACA comes up, and the TV networks have other stuff to cover.

The NRA has enough time to whisper in Congress's ear to make them do nothing, the NRA doesn't give a poo poo about their public image until their congressmen start losing, and Trump will block everything until 2020.

The NRA is loving up the short game, but they know the only thing that counts is the long game.

And everyone else by then will forget about that school shooting in where-was-it-Florida.
