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 |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
