Here I go debunking the right-wing’s response to Sandy Hook
We had the NRA and many right-wingers come up with their solution to the horror at Sandy Hook mass shooting by coming up with a BS answer to preventing this.
But here I go debunking the right wing response to Sandy Hook:
Right wing Response? Arming teachers/school guards would prevent this from happening.
Destro’s counterargument:
A) Beyond the fact that this means the right wing is actually conceding to the idea that school shootings will happen again and is in fact a way of American life (how fucked up a view of America is that?) what does that do to solve the shootings at fast food restaurants, movie theaters? Also, I recall 2 kids in Arkansas shot up their school outside in an ambush. How will teachers deal with long distance snipers? We make them go through SEAL training?
B) Right wingers are against raising taxes, especially for public schools. How will teachers be funded to be armed? Shooting instructions? Not to mention the cost for maintaining an armed police/guard at every school in America. Is the limited govt party going to fund that by raising taxes on the rich?
The right wing loves to show Israeli teachers armed as they take their kids to field trips, etc (and getting the details of Israel’s gun laws wrong, including why and where teachers are armed), but I am pretty sure Israel does all it can to deny the potential terrorists the ability to be armed in the first place as well as arm those specific teachers.
