A theocracy is religion intertwined with the state.
To avoid a theocracy we pay no attention to what Jesus would have thought. If Jesus happens to agree or not agree, it doesn't matter. Governance should not be based on religion.
You're sniveling conniving explanation doesn't relieve yourself. If we're not supposed to consider what Jesus said for policy, then stop trying to convince Christians to be on board for the policy decisions you want, based on your Jesus takes.
You're a liar , you probably don't wash , and most likely you're a horse thief. You're the type
Right wing politicians and their cable news collabs. are heavily pumping the "arm the teachers better" fix to school shootings.
They know this is a terrible idea. They know it is impossible to implement. They know it will never happen. But they also know their base are simpletons that eat it up and repeat it for them. It only needs to distract them for a day or so until the next school shooting.
Additionally, they know that even more sane and reasonable people will leave teaching - this is part of the their multi-pronged approach to kill public education. And ensure an ignorant and uneducated population of mouth breathing sheep they can rule in an authoritarian manner.
Go to any gun show, gun dealer, shooting range, etc. and ask for an AR. They will know exactly what you are talking about. They won't show you a bolt action hunting rifle. They won't show you a 9mm pistol. They will show you a bunch of different assault rifles that are civilian versions of M16 and M4 carbine rifles. The gun nuts know exactly what is meant by the term "assault rifle" and are just playing BS semantics to try to claim that a ban is technically impossible when there is no such issue.
Head of Homeland Security does not know what an assault rifle is.
We are supposed to believe that people go to gun dealers and ask for an assault rifle?
There are "civilian versions" of military guns? Why? Civilians can own M-16s

or a kid knocks a teacher on the head takes her gun and shoots her. Or a teacher is scared and kills a kid unnecessarily.
the idea is just too stupid.
It's nearly as stupid as right wingers saying just 'lock the doors.' When the assaulters have high powered rifles to shoot through locks and what not.
Right wingers just put guns above nearly anything else. Makes them feel American and badass. And it's costing us tens of thousands of lives. Hope they are really enjoying their badassness.
Other countries have badass men too but those countries don't have school shootings. ever think of that, right wingers?

Lol ignorant. You want freaks teaching our kids insane ideas.
I'm not against public Ed. I'm for a takeover of it. Screw home schooling. Why should we leave the system and let you sicko liberals run it?
Anyone who advocates for home school is a quitter and wants to let liberals dominate public education unrestricted.
Does it bother you that the founder and funder of the biggest gun control org in the nation, Everytown for gun safety, Mike Bloomberg treated the NYPD as his own personal army when he was mayor and has pushed for endless wars in the ME? You think that's a guy looking out for the safety of people?
It took over 40 pages of this thread before our resident anti-Semite let his true colors show. But, of course, it was inevitable.

I know. Cannot criticize anyone in that group. Sure everything I said is true. But we cannot say this as this guy is in the special group.
It’s odd that W.A. Criswell, James Dobson and Jerry Fallwell never knew that until the Carter Administration.
They knew it they just didn't realize that abortion of convenience was going to be the new norm until they saw the giant spike in abortions that occurred in the 1970s.
Is that what James Dobson said in 1973? “a developing embryo or fetus was not regarded as a full human being (unless there are a lot of them in the next few years)”
This isn’t difficult to understand. These people didn’t have a change of heart. They found an issue they could capitalize on.
Of course. The media got together in a big meeting and said, “this is what we’re going to do. We’re going to report on the background and history of this shooter in order to make people feel sorry.”
When in fact we all know that there is no benefit at all to understanding the background of mass shooters, as we all know there is absolutely no way to identify or stop potential mass shooters. It’s just a reality of life, everywhere in the world. Someone could walk into a school in Wellington or Kobe or Vienna and shoot the place up tomorrow, just as likely as they could in any American city.
You can't see the switch from journalism to advocacy because you like what they're advocating.
To people who aren't in the cult the difference between the old media and the new media is a stark as the difference between classic Coke and new Coke.
Do you have many liberal and left-leaning friends you speak with regularly?

Not being "full human" doesn't mean "not human".
Pulling 1 quote out of context from 1 guy isn't the slam dunk you seem to think it is.
