Turning The Ballot Box Against Republicans

Everybody loved Obama,

US President Barack Obama's state visit to Britain: security and protests
Radical Muslims protest outside Downing Street ahead of the visit of US President Barack Obama

Justify it any way you like. Obama is widely loved after eight years in office, Drumpf is widely despised after two.

Trump just banned US cruise ships, yachts, and private planes from traveling to Cuba

Trump is alienating any neighbor he can to appease Putin...

Evidently the whole free world thinks way more highly of him than of his successor.

Leftists sure do hate freedom and civil liberties.

all those John Wayne what to be armed teachers

if they find that facing someone with an assault rifle with a hand gun is something they do not care to do after all.

Obama is "loved" while Trump and the republicans are despised worldwide.

Obama is even loved in Arab countries where he helped rid the countries of republican styled jihadists seeking to make repressive religion the law of the land.

The selfish and corrupt republican party will be voted into oblivion in the next election...

Have you given up all of your guns? Or are you still one of those John Wayne types?

If the person with an assault rifle is not wearing body armor, a handgun should do just fine against them.

I don't see why teachers cannot have a rifle in their classroom. A lever-action .30-30 in a gun safe that only the teacher can open seems quite doable.

Yes indeed engaging someone with a rifle with a handgun outside of say 30 or even 20 yards point blank ranges for any rifle in a long hallway for example is survivable in your opinion?

As I said given that an armed teacher would have the same duty to protect children in his care as that cop at parkland those Wayne teachers what to be should think the whole thing over.

Actually the Republicans are going to hold the White House for 20 years.

Even after 20 years of Republican rule, the voters will not return the Democrats to power until they purge their party of nutty leftists and start nominating sensible moderates again.

millions of illegal voters who was flown into the US.

Presumably these teachers would be barricaded in their classroom and would be engaging the attacker at close range as he forced his way into their classroom.

I think that will be an easy decision for them. Teachers are already willingly confronting these attackers when they have no guns at all.

And as I said, why not let teachers have a lever-action .30-30 in a gun safe in their classroom? There is no reason why teachers have to be limited to handguns.

As a new school year begins, a recent poll shows a majority parents don’t want their child’s teacher carrying a gun to school despite a “disturbing” level of concern about safety.

The annual Phi Delta Kappa International poll from earlier this year has been probing American attitudes about schools for half a century, and the newest installment says the current level of worry hasn’t been seen in two decades.

One in three parents fears for their child’s safety at school, which is “a disturbing number to express such a fundamental concern,” the authors observe.

For them, more guns are not the answer. “By and large, those parents want to strengthen existing systems of security — using metal detectors at entrances, counseling for troubled students — rather than having teachers and staff carry guns in schools without plenty of screening,” said Joshua P. Starr, chief executive officer of PDK International.

Two out of three respondents said they didn’t want their child in a classroom with an armed teacher, though attitudes differed based on political affiliation, with 57 percent of Republicans in favor versus 39 percent of independents and 17 percent of Democrats. The notion was also more acceptable if guns were allowed only with teachers who’d undergone rigorous training — at least 80 hours’ worth. In that case, support was about half and half, though the strongly opposed, 33 percent, still outnumbered the strong supporters, 20 percent.

The poll found some common ground. A large majority of parents, regardless of partisanship, favor armed police in schools, through Republicans were the most supportive. Metal detectors were also popular across party lines, especially among less educated, lower-income and non-white parents, who, perhaps not coincidentally, were the most fearful. Mental health screening of all students was supported by at least three out of four polled, though partisan allegiance reflected a difference in opinion when it came to paying for it, with Democrats more supportive than Republicans.

The results were released as Georgia debates how to address safety. Lawmakers have been holding listening sessions across the state, hearing recommendations about everything from training exercises to mental health, even as a handful of Georgia school districts take steps to allow armed teachers.

Yes indeed mishandle level actions guns are no more likely to killed the children then handguns.

Of course parents should be given the right to have their children go to non armed camps as the last pollings I seen parents strangely do not wish their children to go to schools full of armed teachers.

LOL the only way the GOP could hold to power is to have a napoleon type coupe
