My God women how do you live with yourself. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/marjorie-taylor-greene-says-children-should-be-trained-with-firearms-to-ward-off-a-mad-man-with-a-gun-in-schools/ar-AAYRj4M?li=BBnb7Kz

1. Right, because arming 5-year-olds is a great idea.

(sarcasm, of course)

She understands that training isn't enough, right? They would actually have to carry - and use - the firearms.

I usually think that whackjobs like Majorie are just playing a role and that the idiocy is intentional. With her, I'm not so sure.

2. Gosh, what could possibly go wrong?

I think back on the arguments I had to referee over kickball games at recess in my short-lived teaching career.

3. This is just

more hyperbole for the media. She's a moron.
I fully agree that for safety purposes, young children should be familiarized with firearms, especially if they are going to be present in the home. But her statement is complete and utter bullshit and she knows it.
School age children are incapable of defending themselves against a gunman with this knowledge.
How much more stupid can she possibly get? It seems to be an effort to get a negative reaction or something, who knows with these people. It appears people like her just want to be bombastic and stir up trouble.

4. The frontal lobe is not fully developed until age 25.

This is the part of the brain which determines judgement, social awareness, planning, etc.

5. I had a gun when I was a kid. I believe it was a Fanner Fifty cap pistol.

I had a holster and a red cowboy hat too! When I got older, I would just hit a roll of caps with
a hammer to blow them all up at once. No gun needed. I'm now 71 and still don't own a firearm,
despite living ten miles from Mexico (where all the "bad hombres" live). Most of the bad men
around here are punk-ass white boy tweekers.

6. that worked out so well with the shooters, didn't it??? They had guns and used them. They were

little more than children. Wasn't the Uvalde shooter just 18? Or am I getting that mixed up with another?
