Andrew Cuomo: Arming Teachers for Self-Defense Leads to Shootouts
Breitbart ^ | Feb 26, 2019 | AWR Hawkins

Posted on 02/28/2019 9:30:40 AM PST by upchuck

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) derided President Trump’s push to arm teachers by suggesting arming teachers for self-defense leads to shootouts in the classroom. Politico quoted Cuomo saying, “I mean, how ludicrous a concept — arm the teacher so when the bad person comes into the classroom, there can be a shootout in the classroom.”

He added, “I mean, really, ludicrous and nonsensical.”

Better a shootout than target practice.

My thoughts exactly. She says it like it’s a bad thing.

What’s wrong with evacuating the building while a teacher stalls the shooter via shootout?

Cuomo,

Predators attack what they perceive as the most vulnerable prey. That is precisely why these animals focus on places that are not armed, and where there are high concentrations of potential victims. Predators want to attack with little to no danger to themselves.

Better a shootout than just getting shot.

In Cuomo-Land, it is better to have a madman killing kids slowly and carefully than to have a shootout in the classroom. The kids, I suspect, would disagree. But their parents voted for Cuomo...

He has a point. If a Trump supporter with a MAGA hat walked into a faculty lounge with armed teachers, there might be hell to pay.

Shootout ... a chance for good guys to win. Massacre the bad guys always win.

So Cuomo would rather have executions in the classroom than shootouts. The crazy Left is suicidal, but will get a lot of the rest of us killed, also.

“suggesting arming teachers for self-defense leads to shootouts in the classroom. “

BS Based on what evidence? There’s nothing, 0, to back up this claim. Did Politico even bother to ask?

Right.

Far better the schools be left defenseless, providing nutcases with an uncontested turkey-shoot environment.

Yeah, much better to have a shooting gallery than a shootout where the teachers can fight back. Wouldn’t want the perp harmed in any way before he’s done with his rampage.

If that were true, then we should arm NY politicians.

Put Cuomo's horse siht right up there with;

walls don't work

illegals commit less crime than American citizens

killing infants isn't murder

sanctuary cities make sense

high taxes are welcoming to business

and my all time favorite, diversity is our strength.

Shootout? Massacre?

I’d rather not have to choose, but if its forced upon me, I’ll take choice #1.

Cuomo's a quintessential gun grabbing northeast liberal, just like il Sfaccim. was. Like father, like son of a bitch.
