He knows this will never happen.

He just wants to have his armed followers ready for action when Mueller drops the hammer.

Your move, Bob … please?

“We have to get smart on gun-free zones. That means nobody has a gun except them,” he said, referencing those who attack schools. “Nobody’s going to be shooting bullets in the other direction. They see that it is such a beautiful target, they live for gun free zones.”

beautiful target?

Good guys with guns lead to greater crossfire, that’s all.

The only way to end this is to start outlawing unnecessary guns starting with weapons similar to what I carried in the Army. If it takes twenty years to get them all off the street then so what? Listen…if we’d started in 1996 then guess what? They’d now be rare to all gone.

What a layer cake of stupidity.

Only Donnie “Two Scoops” could come up with this idiotic analogy…

He said he wants to do more to “harden” schools instead of softening them and suggested that a “gun free zone” for someone who wants to be a killer is “like going in for the ice cream.”

He also suggested there are lots of “coaches, who I guarantee you have plenty of experience with weapons” and veterans who go into teaching after serving in the military who would be willing to carry a gun on school grounds. He said it would be best to arm teachers because it would be too expensive for large schools to hire “100 to 150 security guards.”

So much for swords to plowshares

And like all other school supplies, the teacher will have to buy her own gun, buy her own bullets, lay in her own supply of tourniquets, …

Exponentially grotesque and maximally stupid. That is Trump in a nutshell!

Should make parent-teacher nights really exciting, and open vast new options for corporal punishment…

Bobby, I’ve told you to sit down twice…

Shorter Trump: Let’s pay the male teachers more. And the republican women teachers.

All teachers should be trained ninjas. Problem solved.

I fail to see what being a coach has to do with knowing about the use of deadly weapons. Coaches are armed with whistles, mostly. Trump is macho in such a fake, pathetic way that in his vague, muddled idea of it, one form of macho includes all the others. Or something. I said once before his mind is like a magpie’s nest of disparate, useless shiny objects and trash, and I’ll continue to think that until he shows me I’m wrong.

Just think, this gunslinger bonus could double Paul Ryan’s $1.50 per week paycheck increase…

It’s so mortifying to consider what people in civilized countries must think when they read this. We thought W was an embarrassment. After his second term victory, there was a gigantic “We’re sorry” meme that went out around the world.

OK, look, here’s a modestly proposed foolproof plan. Every morning when the kids come in, radio-controlled grenades are chained to the back of their heads. Teachers have controllers on their persons at all times. When a shooting starts, you enter the shooter’s name and blammo! You send for the janitor and the rest of the kids get back to their studies.
