Rand Paul: Sandy Hook Shooting Could Have Been Prevented if Teachers Had Guns
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) told a crowd of students at the University of Kentucky last week that the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., could have been prevented if school employees carried firearms.
“The only thing that probably could have prevented that shooting would have been if the principal had a gun in his [sic] desk or if the teacher had a gun at his [sic] desk,” Paul said on March 27, according to WDKY.
Guns in teacher’s desks? Loaded, I assume, else what good would they be? And the desk would have to be unlocked, else how could the teacher get the gun in time?
The stupidity is breathtaking, even by NRA standards. By Rand Paul standards, maybe not so much.
