Newt Gingrich has an interesting plan, he wants to arm and pay the five teachers per school an extra $500 a month. Apparently Newt feels teachers are better equipped to handle school shooters than law enforcement. His proposal probably wasn't serious. It was something to say to the MAGA people watching Fox New. Doubt any of them will understand there are over 131,000 public schools in the U.S.

Newt didn't say what type of firearms the teachers would pack, but according to Ted Cruz, locking the back doors is a much better idea. Ted never explained how long the door would remain locked or how locked doors would effect exiting the building because of fire. 

Nothing will top Herschel Walker saying we need "a department that can look at young men that’s looking at women, that’s looking at their social media ? what about doing that?" So we have a former Republican Speaker of the House wanting to arm teachers and replace police, a sitting Republican Senator saying we have a "door problem" and not a "gun problem" and a Republican Senate candidates wanting a new Federal agency watching young looking at women that are looking at their social media. Wonder what Trump's solution is? 

"Clearly, we need to make it far easier to confine the violent and mentally deranged into mental institutions". Nothing says being deranged and advocating violence more than telling people to march on the Capital Building and overthrow the government. 

"Every school should have a single point of entry, strong fencing and metal detectors, adding there should also be a police official or an armed guard at all times in every school." Let's hope Trump means fire proof schools. It appears Trump didn't get the memo saying there was an armed guard at Cobb Elementary. 

"eliminating gun-free school zones". Good idea, the kids can bring loaded weapons for "show and tell". 

"As the age-old saying goes, the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun." Yep, packing five to nine year-olds will show those would-be bad guys a thing or two! Weren't the police "good enough guys" to confront the shooter?

And then there is Congresswoman Lauren Boebert saying "When 9/11 happened, we didn't ban planes, we secured the <snip>pits". We didn't ban box cutters either but created the TSA. Someone should tell her why people are forced to take off their shoes going through airport security.

In a couple weeks it will be back to normal until the next school shooting and the next and the next.............
