I mean she couldn't be in the Information School or I'd have met her before. For a minor errant of bringing me a sandwich she sure lugged three big bags with her, emptying two of them of a ton of books but placing the third one directly opposite me and even briefly micro-adjusting it ... and still I ate that darned sandwich with whatever disorienting drug cocktail was on it. |

Nareed Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 346 Posts: 12545 | Let’s try a thought experiment: Gather all House and Senate members who think arming teachers and/or students is a good idea (regardless of party). Give each of them a gun (best case scenario: all the “good guys” are armed). Next place them in a school every day (just them), and in a movie theater every evening (just them, but with a movie playing), for, oh, two weeks. One day, they won’t know which day, someone with an AR-15 will try to kill as many of them as possible. It may happen in the school, or in the theater. No way to tell. it may be the first day, or the last, or none. The shooter, whoever they be, will have a real weapon with real bullets. Lots and lots of real bullets. But so will the Congresscritters. Whoever gets hit will get killed or wounded for real. The survivors can vote on a measure to arm teachers and/or students. The dead and the survivors alike get thoughts and prayers. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

No students in the room at the time though. Congressmen shooting? Its like that movie about an assault on the whitehouse and the president gets into the back of the limo out of sheer habit. |
