Vero Fucking Beach to put an AR-15 in every school

[Stinky The Clown]

Each school will get a gun safe. The school resource officer will bring the assault weapon to the school each morning. It will be locked in the safe all day. The resource office will then remove it from the safe and take it home at night.

Brilliant plan, you fuckwits.

I am put in mind of a gun routine by Aussie/American comedian Jim Jefferies riffing on needing a gun for protection but keeping it locked.

As the miscreant is breaking in, the gun owner fumbles with the safe combination, "Okay, buddy. You'll be sorry you broke into THIS house :fumble: :fumble: Hold on a sec. I got a gun in here."

Geezusfukkinkeristonacrutch but these people are fucking zonkers.

1. absolute insanity

[orthoclad]

2. "resource" officer

Hell of a way to describe people who spend a lot of time locking up children for minor stuff.

OK. Then this guy will be carrying the gun in the open every morning and afternoon (or evening). Daily transport is a vulnerable point for mistakes or robbery. I must point out that an old friend of mine was killed by a kid with a stolen cop's gun.

3. Only in urban districts!

Why don't rural gunners turn on rural schools?

[Wednesdays]

4. And 10 to 1 the gun will end up killing or injuring an innocent kid

rather than a "bad guy with a gun."

[Deuxcents]

5. This. Is nutz.

[Marcus IM]

6. Think of the very worst things to fix something.

That's just where repiglickers go.

Deplorable deplorables.

[carpetbagger]

7. Seems vaguely like an impermissibly sectarian religious observance n/t.

[Initech]

8. Damn it. Conservatives just get stupider and stupider.

[elias7]

9. What could possibly go wrong?

[Hermit-The-Prog]

10. Well, at least they're not equipping each student with one. Ohshit, they don't read DU do they?

[Kaleva]

11. A shooter will just ambush a fully loaded school bus

The kids and the driver will have no chance when the bus enters the kill zone.

[Vinca]

12. Okay. So the bad guy bursts through the door with his AR and the school resource officer,

after being alerted while in the coffee break room, slowly makes his way to the room where the gun safe is located. He fumbles with his keys because he's scared shitless, finally manages to get the gun out, realizes it's not loaded and goes looking for ammo. Meanwhile, grades 1, 2 and 3 have already been taken out and the bad is heading for grade 4. In the confusion, no one has thought to call 911. The school resource officer (who used to be a security guard at one of the orange groves) finally gets himself together and his weapon loaded and heads toward danger. Then the bad guy shoots him. Now wouldn't it be better if we just controlled the guns and - most especially - took anything that belongs in a war off the streets?

13. We are a very sick society

Why an AR-15? Why not some other type of gun?

This reeks of nra bullshit and gun lobby $
