...he didn't. Well, hello policy!

Trump further argued that arming teachers would be a disincentive to "sickos", and those who were armed could earn a bonus. This has a few problems:
a) Any "sicko" who has got a firearm, and gone to a school to cause harm, is not going to be put off by meeting opposition. In some cases, it would make it more of a game for them (how much damage can you do before you're countered? etc)
b) What kind of teacher wants Performance-Related Pay for gun training? How many teachers would refuse to be trained, no matter how much money offered?
etc

The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun

What about the Fort hood massacre where 12 were killed on a military base christ if a miltary base with all of its security isnt safe from massacres then will a school ever be safe

Dana Loesch is a spokeswoman for the NRA, she attended a CNN town hall meeting that including some of the children that are survivors of the attack and then delivered a speech at CPAC. Here is an extract

"I'm going to.say something controversial, many in legacy media love mass shootings, now i'm not saying that you love the tragedy but i am saying you love the ratings. Crying white mothers are ratings gold to many in the legacy media at the back. And notice I said crying white mothers because there are thousands of crying black mothers in Chicago every weekend and you dont see town halls for them do you? If it bleeds it leads doesnt it? You can write whatever you want but I'm here, we're here and we're not going anywhere. I call BS"

Have to say Dana Loesch is quite fit in a psychotic kind of way

Anyone see that pic of her holding a bible and a Semi Automatic with a American flag in the background comparing it to a Female Isis fighter who was in almost the exact same pose with an isis flag behind her and holding a Quran saying whats the difference ?

^shave her head and she's demi moore in g.i. jane.

I don't think its by accident that she is good looking, The NRA will have chosen a woman with a pretty face, make the messenger more amenable make the message more amenable

And the easiest way to lose good guys, gun or not, is to put them in the way of a bad guy with a gun.
