We've heard a whole range of reasons for why individuals are opposed to arming trained teachers in schools after President Trump suggested it as a way to stop would be school shooters. Some of those explanations have been a bit more irrational than others. For instance, Matt reported on MSNBC anchor Lawrence O'Donnell suggesting handgun bullets simply don't move fast enough to stop a gunman.
We now have this hot take from CNN Senior Law Enforcement Analyst Tom Fuentes, who argued Monday that women can't conceal carry because it would not work with their wardrobes. He used Sandy Hook Elementary, where 20 children and six adults were slain in 2012, as an example.
CNN Analyst: Women Can't Carry Guns, Because They Wear Skirts and Dresses
“Sandy Hook had an all-female faculty, from principal to teachers,” Fuentes said. “For a woman, where are you going to hide that gun during the day?”
"You can't put it in your desk drawer," he continued. "If you wear a dress, if you wear a skirt, you're going to have to wear a jacket every day, with a belt and a holster the way a detective on duty would do."
Female gun owners responded to Fuentes's "sexist" comments, informing him that there are other pieces of apparel in their closets than dresses and skirts.
Nothing sexist or denigrating in THIS statement by Tom Fuentes on CNN. Sir, have you ever heard of pants? They actually started making them for women a number of years back. We even use IWB holsters and everything??????@WellArmedWoman @USCCA@nrawomen #NRA#CCW pic.twitter.com/1Zd3SCml7r— ARMED and Feminine (@ArmedFeminine) February 25, 2018
Meanwhile, YouTube users informed Fuentes that the millions of women who have long had their concealed carry permits are by now well adept on how to use them.
"There are multiple holster options for women wearing dresses, but I would not expect someone who is obviously anti-gun to know this," one YouTube commenter wrote. "Also, do you think that a female teacher that chooses to be armed might decide to wear clothing that allows for more easily concealed carry? Or does he not think women are intelligent enough to make those decisions and only know how to wear dresses?"
And this comment from a YouTube user aptly named, concealcarrygirl.
"How mighty sexist of you!" she wrote. "My whole channel is about showing women how to conceal in any outfit, including dresses! You'd be surprised just how many women are walking around with a gun on their person. What a moron.?"
Really?? Did Annie Oakley, Harriet Tubman, Stagecoach Annie ever recive that memo?
CNN Analyst?
Cnn anal cyst, more like it.
Really, there should be some sort of stupid meter these idiots should be forced to wear...
There are so many CCW hardware products. The Anus from CNN is clueless
Strap it to her thigh! Sexy, baby!
Miss Beadle could hide one or six in her skirts and another in her bonnet.
CNN and like many of these leftist ‘experts’ have no idea how foolish they sound. The worst part, the millions of likewise leftist Americans with a similarly strong opinion about something they truly no nothing about.
CNN is a fake news joke.
As I said yesterday. There is no need to hide it. Put on a western holster and let the world see it ladies.
bttt!
..... Most women carry their weapon in what is called a .... “Purse” .... But then what would anyone from CNN know about that kind of stuff.
If he said it on Fox News OAN, wouldn't you cut him a little slack?
It's true. I've seen superhero movies, martial arts movies, and cartoons (including the dumdum bullets in Who Framed Roger Rabbit), so I know that handgun bullets are just too slow.
Is he assuming that only female teachers wear dresses? Wow, he should be fired for that faux pas.
Pictures of absolutely beautiful IDF female soldiers carrying uzis and favors at the nudist beach - go here :
They could try one of those Scottie vests.
CNN is populated by idiots. More than one man has been killed by a weapon pulled out of a thigh holster, purse or a bra.
“When Nag the basking cobra hears the careless foot of man,
He will sometimes wriggle sideways and avoid it if he can.
But his mate makes no such motion where she camps beside the trail.
For the female of the species is more deadly than the male.” Rudyard Kipling
OK..this is getting ridiculous....
Are there any reliable reports re: the number of village idiots there are who watch this joke of a “news” network?
HOWINHELL are they staying in business?
