““I think it’s just one more thing teachers have to deal with, unfortunately. I don’t want a teacher to have to moonlight as a cop in a school,” Senate Minority Leader Raumesh Akbari (D-Memphis) said. “I don’t want a teacher to get injured, I don’t want the students to be in a situation where they won’t be safe. I just don’t think this is the answer to school violence.”
TN bill to allow teachers to carry guns in schools nearing law (wkrn.com)
I am so effing tired of this excuse/explanation.
“I think the last thing we want is for them to have weapons,” Akbari said. “You even look at the Covenant shooting, there were some people there, administrators, who had weapons, and it did not prevent the shooter from doing what she did.”
This is the first time I hear staff was armed at the school. I am not saying is untrue, but I do take a lot of grains of salt from a Democrat, specially Akbari who flooded the Legislature with all kinds of Anti Gun Bills.
“Universally, folks in Tennessee, they’re okay with people having guns. I’m okay with people having guns. I just want folks to be safe,” Akbari said. “We have to have some sort of regulation in this.”
Bullshit. Some of the bills introduced by Akbari are:
- Universal Background checks
- Red Flags
- Ban manufacturing of semi auto rifles
- Ban of guns in Vehicles unless locked.
- Ban of Magazines over 10 rounds
- Waiting Period for firearm purchases
- Eliminate State Pre-emption
- Bans 80% frames
- Eliminates Constitutional Carry
She is not OK with people having guns. Perhaps she is OK with a powerful few to have guns as long as she is in the club, but you Untermenschen should not be armed.
EVERY democrat in every state that introduced anti gun bills introduced the EXACT same list… bloombergs anti freedom wet dream utopia.. SSDD. and they all bleat the same bullshiite. we are going thru it here too. laws that won’t effect them removing FREEDOM to achieve the illusion of “safety”… ancient democrat ploys older than F’in dirt. we must “protect the children!!”, ya the ones that somehow manage to not be killed by abortion huh? democrats =anti Freedom control freak. fuk them.
I bet she’s also “a gun owner butt……”
This is my favorite topic to argue with liberals over, because they will *always* say something like “but if you let teachers carry guns, they’ll shoot their students.”
Once they say that, they have to either admit “I don’t really believe that” or “I am okay with mentally unstable people being in charge of children.”
I also ask for specific names of teachers they think would murder their students if given a chance.
Just remember. Every gun owner is just one single bad day from becoming a mass murderer.
Curiously, the bus driver, pilot, pharmacist, doctor, utility worker, etc… are all perfectly OK. They have have dozens of bad days, but will never turn to violence.
.
Weird.
.
Even weirder is how they twist and turn when you ask if they would be OK with their pharmacist owning guns? After all, they are upstanding responsible individuals that would never give the wrong prescription to a patient. But, give them a gun, and carnage is assured.
Probably thinks the way to stop drownings is to outlaw water.
.
I am also kind of surprised she did not drag out the “you are FORCING teachers to carry a gun.” tripe.
RE: Covenant shooting: She’s probably thinking of fire extinguishers and chairs as “weapons” the administrators had to “prevent the shooter from doing what she did”.
.
Which should tell you all you need to know about what she’ll ban next.
.
(Also, the shooter is a “she” now? I thought since it “identified as male”, it would be “he” forever because it’s incredibly transphobic and bigoted to literally dead-name someone like that.)
