Talk about a facepalm moment. Is it the media’s stupidity or stacking sandbags because they know this National Rifle Association initiative could gain traction? You decide. The NRA wants more armed guards in schools. Teachers should be allowed to carry as well. After the tragic Sandy Hook shooting, the school board voted to approve this proposal. This is not an alien concept. A lot of schools have resource officers; Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, the site of the most recent school shooting on February 14, had such officers. They failed to engage the shooter, Nikolas Cruz. Scores of teachers in Ohio are signing up for gun training courses to obtain their concealed carry permits. So, since the NRA is akin to ISIS in the minds of the liberal media, what do you do? Well, if you’re MSNBC, apparently it’s to make the argument that handguns aren’t effective in stopping shooters, who are armed with rifles, because the bullets from pistols are too slow. I will repeat that: handgun ammunition travels so slow that its ineffective at stopping someone armed with a rifle (via Daily Caller):
MSNBC anchors are claiming that teachers armed with handguns would be unable to stop a school shooter because rifles shoot “three times faster.”
Anchor Lawrence O’Donnell said on his show Thursday night that “a bullet fired from an AR-15 travels 3x faster than one from a handgun…and yet the president and the NRA think giving teachers guns will stop a school shooter.”
Lawrence: A bullet fired from an AR-15 travels 3x faster than one from a handgun.
And yet the president and the NRA think giving teachers guns will stop a school shooter https://t.co/heze69kRDU— MSNBC (@MSNBC) February 23, 2018
Yeah, there is a difference, but we’re talking tenths of a second here. Also, veteran J.R. Salzman seemed confused with this narrative: didn’t two Capitol Police officers stop a shooter from assassinating scores of Republicans in Alexandria as they were practicing for the annual congressional baseball game? Uh, yeah—they did. They confronted the shooter, they engaged him; he turned out to be a Bernie Sanders supporter, and they neutralized the threat. House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA) was almost killed in the attack.
Where did this BS narrative come from that you can’t stop a rifle with a handgun? When has that ever been a thing? Are people’s memories really so short they don’t remember Capital Police stopping a Bernie bro with an SKS shooting at congressman on a baseball field?— J.R. Salzman (@jrsalzman) February 25, 2018
This is the reason why the media will always lose the Second Amendment fight. Millions of Americans own firearms. They know the caliber, they know its capabilities, and they also know what the proper terminology is (i.e. automatic vs. semiautomatic). I’m not talking super technical gunsmith jargon, just basic details about the gun. They know what they have and the media’s pervasive failure to learn what they’re talking about will never allow them to win over Americans they need to change the nature of gun politics. That’s because the alternative floated by the Left is straight up gun confiscation, evisceration of the Second Amendment, and the stripping of American civil rights. That’s also another reason why they’ll never win. We know their game. It’s this type of trash peddled by MSNBC that makes for great entertainment.
Laughing so hard,I’m crying———VERY clever.

After watching the videos I’m convinced that he has mental problems-——can you imagine working all day with that guy?

You're giving morons a bad name. He doesn't even rate a "Booger-Eating Moron." The stupid is strong in this one!

I think the narrative here....is to convince people to mandate that bullets should be made to move at slower speeds. If everyone had access ONLY to slow bullets, then the world would be a safer place.
I think the problem here is that we don’t have any labs working on making slow bullets. American should lead the way to making slow bullets. /cynically spoken/
It’s reminiscent of Clinton’s Surgeon General Dr. Joycelyn Elders and her plans to make bullets safer. Not to mention teaching masturbation to children in public schools. Release all that tension, you know.
I think he has a demon (or two) controlling him.
Nobody acts this way and is considered “normal”.
Bad guy in your example must have been a piss-poor shot.
When dealing with TV cameras, only Chuckie Schumer is quicker than Sheriff Israel!
SOMEone has seen WAY too many roadrunner cartoons!
LOL!
Boy, I’ll say!
You’re probably right. I was giving him the benefit of the doubt. He’s most likely an idiot, or possibly only an imbecile:
IQ between 0 and 25 = idiot
IQ between 26 and 50 = imbecile
IQ between 51 and 70 = moron
(based on the old, “politically incorrect”, definitions - which I still use whenever I can)
What an absolute idiot. What kind of morons listen-to/watch such idiocy. Fellows lunatics?
