Showing Original Post only (View all)We Need Armed Teachers and Superior Fire Power In Schools To Prevent Attacks, Says Fox News [View all]
This is amazing. The NRA and gun industry can turn the Florida shooting into a gold mine. First, require teachers to undergo paramilitary training. Second, provide guns that are even more powerful than an AR-15.
My goodness, what kind of heat would a teacher need to pack to out-gun an AR-15? Any suggestions? What about grenade launchers?

The issue at the center of the Florida school shooting that left at least 17 people dead is neither gun control nor mental health care, but a lack of superior fire power, according to Fox News judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano, who believes teachers should be armed.
Discussing the deadly attack at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland on Wednesday, Napolitano suggested in a Thursday evening discussion on Varney & Co that there were not enough guns in schools.
"My suggestion is the Israeli model," Napolitano said. "Not all the teachers are armed but all the teachers...the cultures different, I know that. All the teachers have been in the IDF, the Israeli Defense Forces. Every adult except for certain religious groups, spends time there."
Napolitano continued: "In that time period they are trained. And select teachers, quietly, not ostentatiously are armed and quietly trained. You cant just carry a gun. You have to practice with it every week."

No, they're not. This country has only been around for 200 years. We're a baby country wise

Guns for teachers but guns banned in Congress? The hypocrisy undermines the point entirely.

No idea what that means. I would take that bet if u mean the parents want more guns.

Lovely sentiment. Maybe you can mail it to the grieving mother in a hallmark card.

Lack of empathy is being projected onto others...teachers as a group exude empathy.
