Surprised? Not Really...

Ohio is set to enact a law that allows teachers and other staff to be armed with guns in schools once they have completed up to 24 hours of initial training.

No real surprise, given Ohio has a memorable track record of shooting students...

How soon before Texas, Florida & the other GOP-enthralled states follow suit on a policy that's so brazenly reckless it belongs in a comedy routine, not state legislature

Fire a warning shot...

To the head!!

Can someone explain why you wouldn't shoot at the tyres... or the engine... or why you want to shoot at a car that's going away at all. Can someone also explain why a 'Safety Officer' feels it's absolutely necessary to shoot at a child & her parents???

But no, please explain why America's gun culture obsession is a GOOD thing...

I have no words for this, so I'll just let the NRA speak for themselves...

Earlier today, retail giant Walmart announced it would stop selling certain types of ammunition in response to a shooting at one of its stores in El Paso, Texas.

A month ago, a gunman opened fire in the El Paso store, killing 22 and injuring at least 27 others.

There have also been mass shootings in Dayton, Ohio and Midland Odessa, Texas in the past month.

The National Rifle Association, America’s largest gun lobby, released a statement slamming Walmart’s new policy as “shameful”.

“It is shameful to see Walmart succumb to the pressure of the anti-gun elites. Lines at Walmart will soon be replaced by lines at other retailers who are more supportive of America’s fundamental freedoms,” the statement said.

“The truth is Walmart’s actions today will not make us any safer. Rather than place the blame on the criminal, Walmart has chosen to victimise law-abiding Americans,” the NRA added. “Our leaders must be willing to approach the problems of crime, violence and mental health with sincerity and honesty.”

Walmart stopped selling assault-style rifles in 2015 and raised the age to purchase guns from 18 to 21 last year.
