209. It sure got you vocal as well, didn't it?

And the car argument is tired. Don't forget bathtubs as well. You're not talking to an ooga booga "gungrabber", so save it.

Yes, the incidents are rare. Do you know why? Because schools don't arm their teachers as a rule. We increase that, and we increase those incidents. Because school shootings are so incredibly rare to begin with, why institute a policy that increases those odds? That makes absolutely no sense. The more teachers we arm, the more we increase the odds that those guns get used incorrectly. Odds call for it. (Bye the bye, just try to get more conceal and carry laws passed after those stories start to make the news. Some foresight might do some good for the guns rights movement now and then. I'd leave conceal and carry out of the schools even if my aims were solely guns rights motivated. All I'm saying.) And all to prevent the extremely rare school shooting, when there are other measures that make far more sense. It's just stupid all the way around.
