So basically we'll have shootouts in schools?

It's both frightening and hilarious picturing all the teachers I had growing up carrying a gun in the classroom.

Had one that would eat an onion sandwich every day. Nothing else on it. I had his period after his lunch. Horrific stuff.

I'm getting lots of this. "when I was a kid, there was prayer in school and the 10 commandments on the wall and there were no shootings. These kids no longer listen to authority. "

Umm, I don't remember there being prayer in public school or the 10 commandments. And this authoritarian mindset is half the problem.

I can't remember who now but a WWE wrestler tweeted something about the shooting happening because God wasn't allowed in the school. Ugh.


I just googled it and it was Randy Orton. He posted a picture of something saying

“Dear God, Why do you allow so much violence in our schools? Signed, a concerned student.

Dear concerned student, I’m not allowed in schools. God.”

Pretty fucking disgusting


The problem isn't that God isn't in schools. The problem is that there is God everywhere else.



I asked a girl what explains all the church shootings. Shut her right up.

Don't think I make it to adulthood if my teachers had guns. Might not have even reached puberty.



yeh, how long until a teacher snaps and has a gun sitting right there.

btw, you know Trump is going to work to get a bump stock ban passed (or something similar) and then he's going to say he's been the only one to ever do anything about the gun problem.

Just a little preview in case you don't see it coming.

I'd be pretty shocked if they passed anything.

Oh, we all know how this is going to work out. The GOP will attach this to wall funding, the Dems will ball, and Trump will claim the Dems don't care about gun control.

They won't. It's going to take replacing them with politicians who are pro gun control. With Trump in the WH, even a Democratic Congress won't be able to get anything done.

My guess is there will be more states voting for gun control but that won't solve this problem.

We need national gun control bills that are substantive, including the ban of assault weapons. We have to start somewhere and stopping the sale of these weapons is a good start.

It's something that I believe will take a good 3 or 4 election cycles to accomplish unfortunately.

I am seriously questioning the wisdom of the American Revolution at this point. Will the UK take us back?

even if they ban some of these things, will it hold up in court?

Alright folks, it's official. Every county in West Virginia has cancelled school tomorrow. Teachers across the state are planning a work stoppage, and many will likely end up here in the Capitol.
