Generation X gives me hope for our future; and that the dark times we find ourselves in is just a temporary blip in our nation’s history.

“45" embroided on his shirt sleeves...

You make a great point that’s often overlooked. Instead of having to sneak guns into school, students will know who has guns, and probably can make some good guesses as to where they’re kept. Putting guns in schools seems extremely likely to increase school shootings.

Heartily agree. I’ve been told by a few cop friends over the years that if you carry a weapon or keep one near you in the home (or, I suppose, at work) you must be prepared to use it and that a perpetrator will try to take it/use it on you. (I used to carry a knife in my purse and was basically told “if you aren’t…

I just need to vent about this idiotic idea of arming teachers as a solution. While I have tremendous sympathy to those victims and their families who might see this as at least giving them a fighting chance to survive, it’s wrongheaded in so many ways. A military style assault weapon, like the AR-15 is a designed to…

I work on a school admin team and I would find a new job if they asked me to carry at work. It’s a horrifying idea.

She was a lovely, kind, extraordinarily patient woman who probably couldn’t have even lifted a gun. And I also believe she wouldn’t have been able to bring herself to shoot a student,…

I’m remembering several of my teachers who shouldn’t be allowed to handle squirt guns, much less firearms!

He is so fucking broken he needs a cheat sheet to human acceptably.

oh my FUCKING GOD HIS SHIRT

Who monograms a sleeve?

And of course he got torn apart by the right wing media for it. Remember how they all talked about crocodile tears after sandy hook? They’re fucking shameless.

Remember when you had a President?

I’m a teacher and I’d be terrified to be armed while at school. God forbid something were to happen where I would be expected to use a gun, and I use it on the wrong person, or it gets into a student’s hands. This is insane. If I wanted to carry a gun, I would’ve become a cop.

remember when we had a president who didn’t need to be training-wheeled towards empathy?

“What do you want me to know about your experience.”

He will be missed by Christians and all religions.

So I opened up the image of the notes wanting to read them closely out of disbelief (and they are fucking insultingly obvious things to ask and he has to remind himself to use the most basic level of dignity to shooting victims) and then I saw this:
