As a public school teacher in the great state of Florida, I have solved the Legislature’s dilemma regarding gun control and the Second Amendment: bulletproof vests for teachers.
The idea came to me after recently reading about U.S. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos’ idea to provide federal funds to states so they can buy weapons for teachers. I bet there’s a way to finagle buying vests to go along with those guns. After all, there’s an estimated $1 billion in the federal Student Support and Academic Enrichment grant program. |

| Because it doesn't matter how many kids get killed, as long as the government employees make it home alive. |

Bullet proof vests only provide protection if shot in the torso and by a handgun. But this idiot teacher probably doesn't even know that.
This would not solve any problems but only waste money.

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
