RATHER HAVE MY CHILD DIE THAN USE A GUN?
If you were having trouble understanding anti-gun people, this will not help. A high school math teacher named Doug Van Gorder wrote a letter to the Boston Globe decrying the idea of having self-defense guns in schools. In part of his letter, he shows what can surely be described as one of the most telling views into the minds of gun banners. "But as a progressive, I would sooner lay my child to rest than succumb to the belief that the use of a gun for self-defense is somehow not in itself a gun crime."
So, he views the use of a gun for self defense as a crime, and he would rather have his child die than see a good person (assuming this applies to the police, also) use a gun to save a life.
I simply have nothing to add to that.
People like this are far more dangerous than the guns they fear...
Wow, fooled me. Maybe because I once had a discussion with a “progressive” female (former) friend who said she’d rather be raped than use a gun, which made this all the more believable to me. With her, though, she changed her tune when I posited the question of her daughter being attacked. Even that was too much for her...
Shaking my head. That guy is a pansy. He needs a reality check. Maybe a mugging by a bunch of thugs might change his mind....he shouldn’t be a teacher either, that is scary.
There may be hope for her yet!
Liberals have no brains whatsoever.
Successful troll is successful, etc :]
A person who doesn’t support their Second Amendment Rights, buy a gun and learn to use one is saying the exact same thing.
They don’t fail me. Any parent who would do what this moron claims he would do shouldn’t ever have bought a child into the world. He shouldn’t have because he obviously thinks his own child’s life is not worth protecting and he would gladly offer it up to some malignant madman with a gun. . What are the odds this idiot supports abortion, partial-birth abortion and is a Code Pink sympathizer? I wonder if he’d feel this way if he were standing in a ‘’shower’’ in Auschwitz? He probably would.
I would sooner lay my child to rest than succumb to the belief that the use of a gun for self-defense is somehow not in itself a gun crime.”
he should be put away just for saying and thinking such a thing. bring back the draft and put him on a few patrols in Afgan.
Darwin was right!
And they talk how Christianity is out of touch. Liberalism is a mental disorder, and we let them educate our children.
I AM a math teacher at Brockton High School, the site of a school shooting earlier this month.
Current school security procedures lock down school populations in the event of armed assault. Some advocate abandoning this practice as it holds everyone in place, allowing a shooter easily to find victims.
An alternative to lockdown is immediate exodus via announcement. Although this removes potential hostages and makes it nearly impossible for the shooter to acquire preselected targets, it unfairly rewards resourceful children who move to safety off-site more shrewdly and efficiently than others.
Schools should level playing fields, not intrinsically reward those more resourceful. A level barrel is fair to all fish.
Some propose overturning laws that made schools gun-free zones even for teachers who may be licensed to securely carry concealed firearms elsewhere. They argue that barring licensed-carry only ensures a defenseless, target-rich environment.
But as a progressive, I would sooner lay my child to rest than succumb to the belief that the use of a gun for self-defense is somehow not in itself a gun crime.

Not long ago, a writer wrote that we should refrain from calling them libs and refer to them as what they are....socialists, marxist, evil even...
This turkey is so bad, he’s a waste of oxygen. He needs a good ol’ country ass whuppin’ in the worst way. (And yes, I would be more than happy to administer it.) A worse than useless POS!
I’ve been having that problem lately, too. I can’t tell satire, no matter how surreal, from real news. It seems like “satire to day, legislation tomorrow.”
I hear ya—but it’s not just one, or a few of them out there—there are generations of them, more coming by birth,death of older Americans, immigration (both legal and otherwise), falling American birthrates, multi-culturism, etc., etc.), the education/indoctrination system, media, hollyweird... and they look just like us!
Another example of why tards are called that for a reason and that they can't be reasoned with.
