With dipshyt's push to arm teachers, has anyone who supports this nonsense talked about paying the teachers more? You want teachers to pull double duty between action star and lesson giver, you're gonna pay them more, right?

I think they're trying to shift the conversation and we shouldn't let them, it's a waste of energy.
DeVos has already said we need guns in schools to kill bears at her confirmation hearing(not joking).

Most of the guns police seize come from Indiana and other states where firearms laws are more lax, police and researchers have found. After they were purchased legally, most were sold or loaned or stolen.

It’s not big trafficking rings. Mostly, it’s through little guys like John Thomas.

I agree, just saying that should be the immediate rebuttal when those loons bring it up. God knows they don't want to pay teachers more.I think they're trying to shift the conversation and we shouldn't let them, it's a waste of energy.

"The idea that white men can and do shoot people causes every interaction with a white man to carry a tinge of threat: If you disrespect him, or merely fail to please him enough, he just might explode. When they say that two dozen dead children are the price we pay for freedom, what they mean is that they are willing to pay that price to preserve white male privilege."

I've seen people throw it around. It's a worthy rebuttal if we were dealing with a rational actor who would act in good faith....
Trump has already said that it would be funded, then said states would pay for it, and then there's whatever he'll say next. Not to delve into how ridiculous and unworkable the premise is in the first place.
