    At the rate school shootings happen, carrying a gun is actually probably a good safety measure. It’s not like we’re ever gonna have gun control. Whatever lowers the population, am I right? Oh boy

      An armed student militia trained in private religious-based schools is actually the most terrifying thought i’ve had today.

      “We’ve armed the teachers, just arm the students! That way everyone’s protected!”

      meanwhile….

      Hold on… didn’t the ROTC kids actually bring those things to school so they could spin them around, clean them, disassemble them and reassemble them, all in robotic precision? I think some even toss them up high while still spinning 😂. It’s a highly valuable trait.

        You are correct. I imagine they would be good with a baton too. Maybe some tassels, and tight sparkle pants.

      Hear me out, arm them with muskets. A gun line of Pre-K red coats would deter most potential shooters, but individually the muskets are unwieldy and hard to reload, and thus less dangerous overall to the other students.
