General Kelly will be ubiquitous and omnipresent, so fear not:

“But almost more importantly, nobody is going to attack that school,” he continued. “Because they know General Kelly is the history teacher. He’s teaching about how we win wars, okay? And he’s got a concealed weapon. But they’re going to know he got a concealed [weapon] because we tell them that the bullets are going to be flying in the other direction.”

because we need moar bullets flying.

I wish someone would say, in response to the Second Amendment people or, for that matter, at a White House press briefing, “You know, just as no one needs to yell ‘Fire!’ in a crowded moviehouse, will you agree that no one needs to own an AR-15?”

“We don’t think that taking away Second Amendment rights from people who essentially have trouble with their checkbooks is the right solution,”

No matter how unsurprising it is, it’s never not stunning to see just how fucking dishonest these people are. To be adjudged incompetent by a court of law requires evaluations from medical and mental health professional, who determine that you do not possess the necessary level of cognitive function to yes, pay your bills, but also buy your groceries and feed yourself correctly, drive a car, repair your home, pay for gas to heat the house in the winter, etc. etc. This is not about “can’t manage my checkbook.” It’s about someone, such as grandma and her Alzheimer’s, who has literally lost the ability to care for their financial affairs or for themselves in general. There used to be a split in a lot of states between a conservatorship [financial things only] and a guardianship [everything, even medical decisions]. A judge finding that either of those things is necessary is based on a showing that something is seriously wrong with that person’s ability to function independently in society as a result of significantly impaired and/or declining mental capacity. Anyway, misrepresenting this as having something to do with people who just don’t know how or can’t balance their checkbook is fucking ludicrous and marks a new level of mendacity for even them.

And let’s be honest here. Read it again…carefully…and let it sink in:

“We don’t think that taking away Second Amendment rights from people who essentially have trouble with their checkbooks is the right solution,”

Yeah, no shit you don’t. Anyone who has so lost the capacity to manage their financial affairs that a court said so and who wants to irresponsibly blow a huge wad of cash on buying firearms, please line up in the express line!!!

How else could the ammosexuals buy their weaponry at barely regulated gun shows, if not with troubled checkbooks?

Food stamps?

Paul Ryan’s $1.50 per week?

Bitcoins?

If it’s a deterrent, why would he conceal it?

Hopefully, gunmakers in distress is a rapidly increasing trend. Poetic justice for these merchants of death…

White House deputy press secretary Raj Shah said at a press briefing Thursday that “a lot of teachers” would be willing to undergo firearm training in order to carry concealed weapons at school to deter gunmen.

I recommend that we keep a keen eye on those who are eager to do so.

Bonus for carrying? why not doc the pay of those that refuse to?

You didn’t write this so I didn’t have to, but if you hadn’t, I sure as hell was going to.

When the time comes that you feel like you have no choice but to have The Conversation with Mom or Dad about how they really can’t be allowed to drive anymore, you really also need to add “and the guns, too, okay?”

And don’t assume they didn’t get one without telling you. (Anyone who’s been there knows what I mean, most of the rest of you eventually will).

GOP Cocksuckers are in love with anything they won’t have to pay for. They were even expressing that thought during the Great Republican Depression:

I have trouble with my checkbook, too, Shah, you stupid, despicable motherfucker. I cancelled my overpriced DirecTV service, use every scrap of food I buy, and reuse every goddamned thing I have to make ends meet so I can pay my fucking bills every month and don’t get my goddamned electricity shut down or my phone and Internet cut off. I watch every fucking dollar I have. But for some strange reason, your poor, oppressed, checkbook-obsessed gun owners - who I have a hard time believing even have the capacity to balance a fucking checkbook - can afford to buy a weapon that costs $800-$1000+.
Please let me know how they do that, since I haven’t bought any new clothes in about 5 goddamned years, and it would be really nice to be able to maybe go out to eat once this year.

I have a brilliant free-market solution to this problem: let private schools decide if they want to have guns in the classroom, and then let the invisible hand decide if this is a good idea.

Markets fix everything, right?
