Today, conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh was interviewed by Fox News' Chris Wallace regarding the horrific massacre that occurred last week at the hands of gunman Nikolas Cruz. That shooting which occurred at a High School in Parkland, FL left 17 dead and many more injured. In the wake of the tragedy, thousands have called for more gun control and and mental health measures to prevent the next shooting. But, Limbaugh argued that none of the proposed ideas will actually stop the next shooting and America must protect its students by arming our teachers in preparation for the next tragedy.
"What I found very interesting about the students, and theyre very articulate and you have to feel for them. Its wrecked their lives, they are a combination of scared and angry. But, Chris, I have to ask if anybody is really serious about solving this?," Limbaugh told the host of Fox News Sunday.
"Cause of none of this, and by the way I couldnt care less about the angle of this, because none of this, is going to solve it. Prayers and condolences dont solve it. And marches dont solve it," he claimed.
Then, Limbaugh warned the audience of the very real threat the next mass shooter is out there amongst t the public, gun in hand, saying, "Chris, the next shooter is out there. The next shooter probably has the gun that he is going to use. The next shooter is known by many people in his community who are concerned that this guy may do what everybody is afraid he is going to do. Now how is anything that we are talking about going to stop that?"
"We have got to realize this is what our country has become.We can wish that it werent it this way and we can wish that Congress can legislate it away, but they can't. It's not the fault of the NRA, its not the fault of the NRA. It's the fault of the people doing this, our inability of dealing with that, and stopping them. We have armed security at virtually every public entity except schools. For some reason the are a gun free zone and everybody who wants to shoot up a school knows they are going to be armed," he added.
The ultimate solution, he says, is arming teachers to protect students in schools. The solution is we need concealed carry in these schools. If we are really serious about protecting the kids, we need a mechanism to be defensive when this kind of thing if were not going to take action, we better have mechanisms in these schools to stop it when it breaks out.
Limbaugh also blamed the media for politicizing these events rather than working to find actual solutions.
Do what they do in Israel, arm the teachers.”
In this country I do not think the liberal arts teachers should be armed.
I think that the STEM teachers, shop teachers and coaches should be armed.
I do not trust the liberal arts teachers as they are likely followers of Linda Sarsour, participate in pussy marches and could be very dangerous.
Some USA teachers, not all are snowflakes.
Rather special trained RCC priests who can do an exorcism, in order to drive out the demons that are the ones who are in control.
It's the law of the land in Florida and it would have prevented this horrible massacre.
Shame on the FL authorities for making this high school a gun-free zone.
Children are dead because of it.
Re #4. Great post! Really.
How about this for deterrence, also: instead of soft judges turning criminals loose,punish them. And if the offense rates capital punishment so be it. Away with the category 5 lunacy of the liberal approach to criminology and penology.
..I picture the standard procedure of body-armored paramilitary force LEOs hunkserd down behind their armored vehicles during active shooter situations, and think, Yeah, Mr. Jones from 3rd period History will handle it....
actually thats exactly what they do now
