Sorry if I got a bit heated. It's just that something about this just doesn't sit right with me. You understand?
The only people it does sit right with are the fucking ghouls that run for office on a republican ticket, the rightwing media apparatus, and the literally goddamned firearm industry. Of course it doesn't sit right with you, there's basically no one worth even a little shit that it does.
It's worth noting with the teacher thing, there's actually places in the US where it's legal for one to carry on campus at this point. Teachers that actually
do so are incredibly rare, for a pile of reasons, among which is -- as I noted upthread -- that the sacks of shit that pushed that insanity through the state legislatures gave exactly fuck and all support for it. No assistance (not fiscal, not practical, not in terms of scheduling for work, nothing) with training, no assistance with acquisition or maintenance, fucking
nothing. Their (displayed, anyway, they probably neither expected nor wanted it to nor cared if it would work out) idea of doing it right was to make the possibility legal and then expect everything else to magically work itself out and the already underpaid and overworked school staff to take on extra duties, for free, on their own dime and time, that would easily take up a chunk of a bloody cop's weekly schedule. Unsurprisingly, shit didn't happen.
It's one of several reasons I've been saying that not a single sodden goddamned thing is going to happen to improve things on the issue of gun violence until something breaks the back of the US right wing. Even the shit they say they
want, they will not support, especially beyond shitstirring legislation that's more intended to piss off people that aren't fucking scumshit than do anything useful.
This is why fiscal costs isn't actually Enemy Number One to the improved healthcare that wouldn't likely do much on the issue -- Enemy Number One to
anything that's claimed by
any side of the US political spectrum to help is not anything logistical, it's the GOP and those aligned with and around it. Even their own shit they sabotage.
