Amazing how they always call for arming teachers after a school shooting...

and arming parishioners after a church shooting...

yet I haven't heard them utter a single word about arming Muslims after a mosque shooting.

Color me shocked.

you should "hire" armed coal miners to guard the mosque. After all, IQ45 said their jobs were coming back!

Besides--too boring. Not enough bodies to satisfy the eleven o'clock news............

Speaking of which, this was addressed almost 50 years ago:

... so there you go! Instead New Zealand just banned assault rifles, a completely sensible thing to do.

With it’s brief, vague wording.

Let’s resurrect the Founding Fathers and give them a show of today’s firepower that’s in the hands of an ordinary citizen. They’d weep, lecture the bejesus out of gun-fetishists, then gratefully jump back into the safety of their graves.

Then Fox Entertainment would trash them as (gasp!) “socialists.”

I know of one mosque here where a good hearted neighbor volunteered to stand guard at their services after that last mosque shooting last year in Canada. The parishioners there told him, "Thanks, brother, but we got this." Sadly, that's one approach to being safely religious in America today. Maybe he's now free to go guard the local movie theater, playground, elementary school, or shopping mall.

He probably (definitely) didn't think before he opened his mouth, so he likely didn't mean arming actual Muslims (or non-whites in general) but still.
