Bucket of rocks?

Posted on 03/27/2018 8:54:24 AM PDT by MNDude

I was just listening to Mike Gallagher on the radio. He said that one school official proposed providing every student in schools with a bucket of rocks in order to defend themselves in case of another school shooting. Gallagher said he thought this was a dumbest idea he's ever heard before. But then many callers started calling in telling him they thought it was a good idea.

Do you agree with Gallagher that this is a dumb idea, or do you think it might actually work? Your thoughts?

Go with the rocks because the lib “experts” have already declared that pistol rounds are ineffective against rifle fire..

Flash bang greades would be good too. If you can disorient an attacker, you can subdue him more easily.

I think it is a Great Idea and we should mandate that every Abortion Provider has a bucket of rocks on hand for the potential victims to defend themselves.

Hell no; I’m a teacher.

I don’t want any of these knuckleheads coming in my room with rocks.

Should be a "box of rocks", it would be a good fit for such a school.

It could sit next to the bag of hammers they must already have.

And the first child to throw a rock will be the first child targeted by the shooter...The idea is incredibly stupid.

We don’t need a wall - just mow the grass.

We don’t need guns - just get a bucket of rocks.

Let’s all vote Dim - they have all the answers.

If they can’t throw a grenade today, how will they manage throwing a stone?

I suggest that all the elected officials, Obama, retired justices, Hollywood types, and others who demand I give up my 2nd Amendment right, to lead by example and dismiss their armed security and start carrying around a bucket of rocks as their personal protection protocol.

Makes more sense than putting up a silly sign that tells the shooter that NOBODY is going to shoot back.

The teachers union could create thousands of government-funded positions monitoring the rocks - their distribution to students, purchasing of rocks from crony companies, size of rocks, rock-usage training, etc...

Its something the Left can get behind.

The hell with rocks, put a loaded 12 gauge in every class room instead of a bucket of rocks. Even Joe Bidden would approve of that.?????

Throw the rock off to the shooter’s side and then rush him.

Yes, rushing a shooter is a bad idea unless the only other option is hiding under a desk waiting to die.
