Official LRC President Donald J Trump Thread

Trump thinks it’s a good idea to arm classroom teachers. That one came straight out of the gun nut play book. There is just no cure for that level of stupidity.

Agreed. There are probably a handful of teachers per state who would actually be capable of using a firearm to stop a school shooter.

Also, people commit suicide by cop all the time. If now everyone knows that all schools are armed to the teeth, all a person has to do is go in and shoot several people in a blaze of glory and just decide to go out that way. Ridiculous.

When DDT was killing birds, we banned it. When lead in paint and gasoline was harming people, we banned it. When Jarts were hurting people, we banned it (and I LOVED Jarts). There is no reason for any US civilian citizen to own an automatic or semi-automatic weapon.

People like their guns. I get that. If certain guns are banned and collected by the government, I will send those people my thoughts and prayers, just like they did every time there has been a mass shooting here.

So now that we're asking teachers to make hyper little kids learn math and science AND be trained warriors, are we finally going to start making more of an effort to improve their salaries and stop looting their pensions?

It's hilarious that the same people who think most teachers are lazy brainwashers who suck at their jobs also want them to be packing heat around the kids. Sure will add a bit more force and intimidation to all that liberal propaganda!

This is a great point.

Let's say that for some reason (no WAY this happens) is that arming teachers actually DOES stop school shootings. Ok. So, someone who was hell bent on shooting a lot of people would then just move on to another target...grocery stores, Little League games, preschools, 4th of July gatherings, etc. There are a TON of places where a deranged individual could do mass harm with a semi-automatic weapon. Do we then arm all of those people too? So, basically, we need to arm everyone. That is really what the NRA would want. Absolutely ridiculous.

At a minimum, this is what should happen:

1) A ban on all semi-automatic and automatic weapons, including pistols. Government buy back of those weapons.

2) Age limit raised for gun purchases.

3) Punishment to be the same for someone who illegally sells or gives a gun to someone who should not have one if that person commits a crime. Here in Ohio recently two officers were shot to death on a domestic dispute call by a felon (who is not allowed to own a gun by law) who paid another guy $100 for a handgun. That seller is in trouble, but in my opinion, he should also be charged with murder.

Heroin is illegal, yet it kills over 10,000 Americans per year. Mass shootings kill a couple hundred people a year. However, there are nearly 350,000,000 Americans. Removing suicide and inner-city/gang violence, your chance of being killed by a firearm is something like .01%.

Mexico has extremely strict gun regulations, yet they have 3 times the homicide rate as the US. Plus, concealed handgun permit holders in the US have an arrest rate LOWER than that of sworn police officers.

In short, if you're not a hood rat, America is as safe as Norway or Switzerland.

Hey Flagpole: Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.

Australia solved the problem in 1996. They did not ban gun ownership. They put special controls on it. Since then there have been ZERO mass shootings in the country. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2016/06/22/what-happened-when-australia-actually-did-something-to-stop-gun-violence/

So let's give up our Constitutional rights and copy other countries!!!

We, as Americans, have the right to self defense. If you don't like it, cry silently in your pillow. Don't be in such a rush to give up your freedoms. You will never get them back.

It is NOT your constitutional right to bare GUNS. In 2008 the SCOTUS stated it was a right to have A GUN in YOUR HOME for self-protection. An assault weapon is not a gun. Multiple guns are not a gun. Citizens who have mental issues do not explicitly have that right.

You removed all doubt what a fool you are.

As a Broward County resident, I fully support the Broward Sheriff's decision to allow deputies, assigned to school campuses, the ability to carry rifles to protect our kids. I'm against arming teachers.

TN already has armed police in EVERY school along with locked doors, buzzer system and security cameras. There is also safe rooms that double as class bathrooms. Installed 3 YEARS ago.

Correction: are safe rooms....(relax, grammar nazis)

Correlation != causation.

Some non-MSM sources had reported this nearly a year ago. Can you imagine how far ahead Mueller is in the investigation from what we read in the MSM?!

This can't be true, can it? If so, it's pretty ridiculous. If not, how far off is it?

You don't have a constitutional right to an assault weapon. The supreme court and lower courts have ruled on that several times. Even Justice Scalia agreed with me.

It's amazing that Republicans are all for restrictions on voting, which is a constitutional right, but they can't stomach any restrictions on assault rifle ownership, which is not a right at all.

The TN kids get advanced training on life in prison.

The TN solution would have done nothing to stop the mass shooting in FL--a fire alarm went off. How does TN real with fire alarms and locked classrooms? Do the kids get trapped and roasted alive?
