Ted Cruz's Lame 'Door Solution' To School Shootings Ripped As 'Boldly Ignorant'

Sen. Ted Cruz’s wildly optimistic idea that having one entryway door in schools would somehow stop mass shootings was blasted as “boldly ignorant” by a former New York City detective.

One obvious problem: A teenager armed with an assault rifle could kill a guard, or guards, or phalanx of guards at the lone entryway.

The strategy is “boldly ignorant,” Marq Claxton said Saturday on MSNBC’s “Katie Phang Show.”

The lame fix for assault-rifle deaths is “dismissive of the clear, obvious danger that is faced by so many people in society because of the prevalence of violence and gun violence in particular,” Claxton remarked. It demonstrates how many elected officials lack the understanding and the “fortitude to move forward and do the right thing to save lives,” he added.
