Hugh Hewitt suggests schools ban trench coats after Texas shooting
Jacqueline Thomsen 2 hrs ago
MSNBC host and conservative commentator Hugh Hewitt on Monday suggested that schools ban trench coats days after a gunman reportedly wearing a trench coat opened fire at a Santa Fe, Texas, high school.
Hewitt, speaking on "The Hugh Hewitt Show" on Salem Radio Network on Monday in a clip posted by Media Matters, noted that the suspected shooter allegedly did not use an assault-style rifle. He instead used a shotgun and a .38 revolver belonging to his father, according to authorities.
Hewitt said that measures like universal background checks and a ban on assault-style weapons - as he said Democrats often call for in the wake of mass shooting - likely would not have prevented the Texas shooting.
"Point being, this is about identifying and segregating individuals away from guns who are not in the position to own them with due process protection," Hewitt said.
He said that local officials and politicians should take steps to identify those individuals.
"To the teachers and administrators out there, the trench coat is kind of a giveaway. You might just say no more trench coats. The creepy people, make a list, check it twice," Hewitt said.

Its probably a food idea. Usually only men over 40 can pull off a trench coat.
Well if they’d banned all of those things in the 60s, Cancer Man wouldn’t have shot JFK!
Schools should ban children! At least the crazy ones.
Does anyone know what kind of shotgun it was? Just curious. Maybe a pump?
“What’s next?”
The fedora. No one needs a fedora. Fedora hats in the hands of criminals are clearly a threat to children and they should be immediately banned. I mean...look at that wide brim! No one needs a hat with a brim that wide when a simple baseball hat will do just fine!
FEDORA CONTROL NOW!!!!
Hewitt has never been the sharpest knife in the drawer.
Just outlaw all clothing for school students, and make them use transparent backpacks.
Trench coat in Texas in the summer would seem suspicious to me. Is there a left over Obama program subsidizing the trench coat minority?
lot to be said for dress codes
Christianity, NRA t-shirts, hell, the American flag is a trigger. Why wouldn’t they ban trenchcoats?
Yes, first thing I thought, too !!! Ban schools ! There, problem solved
For crying out loud, a kid wearing a trench coat in 90* heat is not a failure of or lack of dress code, it’s a complete lack of common sense by ALL of those working at the school.
Actually, I have a far better idea. Fire all liberals working within the school system. Hire only folks that show due diligence and possess common sense. People that have a lack of common sense might do great at picking our lettuce, but they have no business watching over and educating our children.
That's what they were planning.
If Big Hat hadn't taken out Kennedy we'd have that by now.
Imbecilic.
A$$holes. Get to the cause of the problem. The coats are not the problem.
Yeah that will cure the problem....
Don’t give them any ideas......
I just read an article about school shootings and that we have had 57 times as many here. I don’t see a comparison of how the kids are treated or what security in in the other schools. Most countries still believe in discipline. Misbehave and get a whip or worse.
57 times as many what, where?
Shootings?
And where is *here*?
