Via MRC TV, see if you can maybe make sense of this babbling idiots words
Later, speaking with former journalist, now hack Jake Tapper spoke with the “expert” and, oh boy………….
In the second half of the hour, Tapper went back to Kayyem to have her respond to AG Paxton’s desire to have an armed defense at schools. Tapper’s disgust with Paxton’s defense of gun rights and facts about the mentality of murders was noticeable as he read the statement:
Attorney General Paxton said moments ago, quote, “people that are shooting people that are killing kids, they’re not following murder laws. They’re not going to follow gun laws. I’d much rather have law-abiding citizens armed and trained so that they can respond when something like this happens because it’s not going to be the last time,” unquote. The victims, of course, 14 elementary school children and a teacher. What is your response to Attorney General Paxton?
It took her a bit but this was part of her response to having more armed people to prevent future attacks
“The second is the issue of arming teachers which is clearly going to be part of this political debate in the future,” she griped. And while citing no evidence, she went on to assert “clearly going to lead to more deaths rather than fewer, because of accidents or things getting elevated. That’s what most of the data shows.”
And throughout her rambling, Kayyem decried even being defensive with schools at all:
And that involves things that Paxton is bringing up. That he wants us not to talk about guns because he wants to talk about whatever is animating this person, but that’s so defensive. I mean, think about it as a parent, like, you’re just, you know, you’re just going to play defense all the time? Like cross your fingers that the teacher is armed? I mean, we don’t do that in any other situation.
Having better and more security, including having armed teachers, police, volunteers with law enforcement/military backgrounds and training makes sense frankly. Is it a deterrent? Of course, evil people almost exclusively choose soft targets, such as gun-free zones (where the vast majority of “mass shootings” have occurred.) That is not “defensive” it is pro-active. As are fewer and more secure entrances to schools. The idea, the goal, should be to make it as hard as possible to allow an evil person to even attempt a mass shooting. That includes, yes, the threat of deadly force against anyone who would attempt such an act.
