This is a new video updating the one I posted earlier about arming teachers. As he says the very teachers you don’t trust with rainbow stickers and to teach the history of racism while you claim they are grooming your kids with LGBTQ+ something … You are now demanding they have guns to handle what armed police can’t. Please watch to see him again shatter the right-wing talking point, again. Hugs

Let’s talk about armed teachers….
This is from three years ago. He describes all the reasons arming teachers is not going to work. He details all the reasons that it is set up for failure. The video is a great answer to the Republicans that want more guns in schools. Hugs
North Carolina GOP Introduces “Don’t Say Gay” Bill
Raleigh’s ABC News affiliate reports:
North Carolina Senate Republicans took a step that could have been expected: They are filing a bill that dictates what teachers can say to young children about sexuality and requires them to disclose confidential conversations they have with students about gender identity and sexuality.
State Sen. Deanna Ballard (R-Watauga), chair of the Senate Education Committee, announced the bill, joined by Senate Leader Phil Berger (R-Eden) and Sen. Michael Lee (R-New Hanover).
If Republicans do pass this bill or something like it, there’s a strong possibility it would be vetoed by Gov. Roy Cooper, and Republicans don’t have votes by themselves to override. However, this does create a political debate leading up to elections in November.
Raleigh’s NBC News affiliate reports:
The new bill’s parental notice section generated concerns among opponents Tuesday that LGBTQ students, afraid of how their parents would react if they find out about their sexual identity, could no longer turn to trusted teachers for guidance.
What if a parent is abusive, state Rep. Allison Dahle, one of the legislature’s few openly LGBTQ members, said after the bill was announced.
“Is the teacher going to be responsible for the child’s beating,” said Dahle, D-Wake. “North Carolina needs to be a safe place for everybody, and this is going to remove that safety net for children.”
Children are pawns to be used, abused, and shot in a classroom… apparently.

Republicans want to hide the fact that sexual orientation is fixed, immutable.
If a gay child is not informed that there are others, that can lead to suicide.
That has happened.
It is documented by news media.
I know this because I was on a suicide prevention hotline in D.C. when a young gay teen killed himself because he couldn’t face being gay with parents who hated gays.
That is what happens when you hide the fact that being gay is not a choice but is immutable and there are others who are well-adjusted adults and successful.
After local Citizens on Patrol public seminars, I picked up a young hitch-hiker years ago and took him to a shelter for homeless teens since he was trying to hire himself out as a rent boy to make a living after his God-fearing parents threw him out of their home and he was on his own. They were “Christians”. Right.
Don’t hide the facts. Don’t belittle gays. They are not sick. They are different.
Accept that.
christians prefer indoctrination to education.
always have, always will.
it’s the only way christianity can survive, you see.

Wow, so ‘bold and courageous’ to have started a moral panic which will lead to kids being abused, subjected to conversion torture, and disowned by their families.
Does the “Parent’s Bill of Rights” include anything about a reasonable expectation that the kids won’t have to face down gunmen with military-level hardware designed to mow down hordes of humans in short order? Or is it only to protect them from the horror of hearing about same-sex couples?
How dare queer kids grow up without shame.

“Removing the safety net” has been a key GOP platform plank for decades. Republicans want corpses, and they aren’t picky as to how they get them: children beaten to death by their parents for not being straight and cis is just one way to reach that goal.

They’re far more afraid of kids catching ‘the gay’ than they are of kids catching a lethal bullet.

Benham Brothers: Only Jesus Can Stop Mass Shootings
The Benham brothers write on Facebook:
There’s not enough “gun laws” on earth to turn a young man from a predator to a protector. But there is a King, whose name is Jesus, that can step into the heart of a man and change him from the inside out. Unfortunately, we don’t want this King.
Our nation glorifies everything that stands against King Jesus and His Kingdom fruit – love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, and self-control. As a result, we’re losing our young men and have lost the soul of our nation.
The radical Left says it’s all about the guns – but it’s the heart that holds the gun! A gun in the hand of a good man brings peace and protection, but a gun in the hand of a bad man brings pain and destruction. Our nation has a heart problem – not a gun problem.
Exalt Jesus once again. Teach our young men to deny themselves, become men of God, and fight against evil instead of perpetrate it. Our boys need to be called up to something much higher than video games, binge shows, and porn! There’s so much more…in Christ.
Let’s do our part as we grieve with the families in TX today. Let’s look at our own kids, our sphere of influence, our churches and schools…and let’s call these young men to lay down their lives, bow to Jesus, and pick up His cross and follow Him. Until then, this path of destruction will never stop.
Longtime JMG readers will recall that the Benham brothers were once regulars here, starting in 2014 when they lost their planned HGTV show after activists informed the network about their history of anti-Muslim and anti-LGBTQ activism, which included annual attempts to force the cancellation of Charlotte Pride.
The pair last appeared here in 2017 when they declared that God murders people with hurricanes in order to force America to repent for “satanic” same-sex marriage (and homosexuality in general).
Their father is notorious anti-abortion and anti-LGBTQ activist Flip Benham, who has been convicted multiple times for stalking and threats.
When his sons lost their HGTV show, he declared that the network’s acronym stands for “Homosexual Garbage Television” and that gays are the “most violent community” in the nation and that they want all Christians dead.

Lara Trump Blames School Shootings On Lack Of Jesus
“It’s a horrific situation, but yes, they always jump to gun control. But 50 years ago, we had much more lax gun laws than we have now. We had actually more guns per family than we do now per household. And so what changed? Why all of a sudden, Sean, in the past couple decades have we seen a rise in this? And you have to ask yourself that, that’s what any rational person would do.
“And you look across the board at things like the fact that, you know, we have the dissolution of the family in so many respects. We have fatherless children on the rise in America. We have the loss of religion in so many aspects of our country, where it was a foundation of our country at one time. You can’t discount the rise of social media and the role that that has played in things like this.” – Lara Trump.

This is why many people reject organized religion.
No one in the Trump family is remotely religious – and they are as far away from Xtian values as you can get. Babies in cages? Stealing from charities! Hello! But here they are, wrapping themselves in their religious cloaks to tell the rest of use how to live. Abominable hypocrites! So slappable! 😡

More simply, if these assholes honestly believed that our society is chock full of evil, atheistic, violent, game-addicted psychos, why do they also insist that these psychos must be able to legally carry assault weapons?
As usual, taking their nonsense at face value actually makes their argument look even dumber.
So many lies. Families and households are not statistically interchangeable; we’ve always had more guns per family than per household and we always will. The guns we have available have changed over 50 years. Out of wedlock births have been dropping for the last 30 years; fatherless children are not “on the rise”. And religion was nowhere a foundation of this country.

And gun control was not more lax 50 years ago. In fact, after the JFK, RFK, and MLK assassinations it increased. Reagan signed a new gun control law in California for fear of the Black Panther movement.
After last year’s Texas Lege session, I’m not sure you can characterize Texas, the location of the latest mass shooting, as having ANY gun control.
It looks like the gun fetishers have realized that their usual mantras (like Jesus will save us) aren’t working and have moved on to blatantly lying about recent history as well as implementing more than a dash of whataboutism.
Tacticly, she made a grave mistake in using a 50 year time frame as quite a few of us from that era are still alive, coherent, and not rabid rightwingers. OK Boomer this one assholes!
Lack of Jesus? Seriously? In a mostly Hispanic area, a lack of Jesus? The very definition of your deity says He just sat back and let this happen to innocent children, you stupid cunt.
Two weeks ago Republicans were screaming, “WON’T SOMEONE THINK OF THE INNOCENT CHILDREN” when the Supreme Court protected blastocysts. This week, after 19 children were slaughtered, they’re screaming, “WON’T SOMEONE THINK OF THE INNOCENT GUNS!”
Jesus was like the cops in Uvalde.. he sat back and did nothing.
Gun and ammo stocks soar after the Uvalde mass shooting
https://qz.com/2170147/gun-and-ammo-stocks-soar-after-the-uvalde-mass-shooting/amp/
REUTERS/NURI VALLBONAPeople gather at Robb Elementary School, the scene of a mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas.
Gun and ammo stocks tend to rise after the most widely-covered mass shootings. Today was no exception. Shares of top gun and ammunition companies soared the morning after a school shooting in Uvalde, Texas that left at least 20 people dead.
Investors anticipate that the violence—and the political rhetoric about gun control that inevitably follows—will prompt more people to buy guns and stock up on ammunition. It’s true gun sales typically rise after a mass shooting as more people arm themselves, ostensibly, to defend themselves against future shooters (although there’s no clear evidence that using a gun in self-defense reduces the likelihood of being injured in an attack). Others rush to buy guns in the belief that lawmakers will soon enact stricter restrictions on gun sales.
The opposite often happens. States with Republican-led legislatures typically loosen gun restrictions after mass shootings; states with Democratic legislatures typically don’t act. In the decade since a mass shooter killed 20 young children at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut, the US Congress has failed to push through even modest gun control bills that would expand background checks for gun buyers or ban high-capacity gun magazines.
The Buffalo shooting wasn’t a boon for gun and ammo stocks
Not all shootings are such a boon for gun and ammo stocks. The racially-motivated mass shooting in Buffalo, which targeted Black grocery shoppers and left 10 dead, created an initial bump for Smith & Wesson, but by the end of the day gun stocks were down.
During the Trump administration, gun and ammo makers got less of a stock and sales boost from mass shootings, in part because buyers lost their fear that US lawmakers would pass gun control bills and were in less of a rush to buy weapons after each tragedy. The fact that gun stocks are up so high after the Uvalde shooting may be a sign that gun buyers and investors are taking more seriously the possibility that lawmakers will act this time.
In fact, the White House was already preparing to enforce a “ghost gun” rule, banning privately-made firearms weapons and kits without serial numbers that are often used to commit crimes. The lack of serial numbers makes them difficult if not impossible to trace. Last year alone, the Department of Justice reported that about 20,000 suspected ghost guns were recovered in criminal investigations, 10 times more than in 2016. The new regulations will take effect in August.
Students At Texas Elementary’s Career Day Shown Photos Of The “Liberal’s Guide To The Deadly AR-15”
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports:
Photos of an AR-15 style rifle, the type of gun used during Tuesday’s mass school shooting in Uvalde, were reportedly shown at a Fort Worth elementary school on Wednesday during what was supposed to be a career day presentation.
According to a Fort Worth schools employee, a Tarrant County Sheriff’s Office deputy presented during a career day event on Wednesday morning at E.M. Daggett Elementary School. The presentation appeared to include pictures of AR-15 rifles, according to a photo shared with the Star-Telegram.
In the photo, an image of a poster titled “A Liberal’s Guide to the Deadly AR-15” is highlighted on Google Images. The poster describes the different components of the rifle. Also seen in the photo is a tab open to the Tarrant County Sheriff’s Office’s website.
Read the full article.
The sheriff of Tarrant County, you may recall, sparked outrage in 2019 when he called undocumented migrants “drunks who will run over your children” during a press event at the Trump White House.
Remember: this is fine and totally not indoctrination. Just don’t let teachers make students gay

Better having ammosexuals ploting to shoot their fellow classmates. Wouldn’t want them thinking of others with love in their hearts. Got to make sure none of the prissy boys make it to puberty. What a regressive pile of shit this guy is!

This happened in the late 90s to early 2000s/ Several new companies started manufacturing cheaper AR-15s. Sales took off because the prices went down. And Ar-15 could be purchased for as little as $300 at one time. It had been $1000+.
The rifles he used were Daniel Defense brand. Those were fairly expensive. He had money to be able to buy 2 within a couple of days.
Dan Patrick wants Texas to follow Florida’s example and pass a “Don’t say gay” law, but demonstrations about AR-15s are A-OK.
And I thought it was bad when I went to school we had to hide under a wooden desk to prevent death in case of a nuclear bomb. I guess stupidity hasn’t changed much in 60 years.

I remember those days. We even had a sign with instructions on our kitchen wall of siren warnings in case of a nuclear attack. Of course, all our practice in ducking and covering would not have kept us safe. Nor would hiding in our basement.
Nor did all the guards at the school or all the practicing the little children did in Uvalde save them.

Oh, so doing a little grooming on behalf of the NRA with our public schools are we?
