Let's get guns back into schools

Liberal logic, such as it is, goes like this: you cannot stop kids from having sex, so you must educate them about it.  That’s why reading, writing and arithmetic have taken a back seat to sex ed, gender bending, and diversity studies in American schools.

OK fine.  There are somewhere between 80 and 100 million gun owners and 275 to 300 million guns in America.  We have a second amendment that isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.  So if kids are going to be around guns, shouldn’t we educate them on the safe handling, cleaning and firing of the weapons that are likely to come into contact with?  I mean really, we teach them how to use a condom in school, which probably won’t kill them, shouldn’t we take a few hours out of every school year to teach them respect for and the safe handling of one of the most inherently dangerous things they are likely to encounter?

The left will reject this idea out of hand because they are for the most part hypocrites.  The right will probably reject it as well by asking, who’s going to teach this class?  That’s a good question.  I’d say police officers, but with the exception of sheriffs who are elected, I have less and less respect for police in cities and towns.  I’d say the military, but as many know, I am not thrilled with what passes for leadership at the highest levels there either.  I’d say the NRA – which IS the most legitimate choice – but if the left agreed to the training program in principal they’d go apoplectic if the NRA were to be let into American schools.  They simply would NEVER let that happen.  They’ve worked too hard to expunge everything with a hint of Americana and the founding of this country from the schoolhouse to allow the NRA to be welcomed across the threshold.

A couple of posts under Lex supported the idea of “Constitutional Carry.”  That is the idea that second amendment provides all the “right to carry” a concealed weapon one needs in America.  If this idea is to gain steam, people have to have trust that the citizenry is well-versed in gun culture and has a minimum understanding of gun safety.  First and foremost is the idea that there are no mulligans on a round once the trigger is pulled.  You had better know what you are aiming at and what’s behind it.

This is not a fantasy.  I truly believe that we should teach every kid in America, hands-on, about guns – hand guns in particular.  It should start out with 3 simple rules for K until about 4 or 5^th grade.  If you see gun, don’t touch it, leave the room, get an adult.  As the kids get older in each grade, the American gun culture and second amendment are taught.  Then gun safety is taught with replica guns.  Then the safe cleaning and storage of weapons is taught.  Last, the safe, accurate, firing of rifles and handguns is taught.  I haven’t heard the NRA or anyone else call for such a program in schools.

I think this is important.  Kids grow up “pulling the trigger” 10s of thousands of times in video games and no one ever gets hurt.  It’s time to teach them the reality of what they are doing.

White Santa
I didn’t comment on this because it was such a dopy easily proven thing it didn’t make any sense to have an argument about it.  St. Nicholas – Santa Claus’s prototype – is from what is now Turkey.  I’ve been to Turkey.  I’d describe the people there as “white Euro-Asians.”   Hey, hey, hey, if we can have “white Hispanics” we can have white Euro-Asians.  Also most historic pictures of Nicholas portray him as white.  But painters of the time did tend to whiten people a bit in portraits.

That said, I don’t care what color your Santa is.  My father in law (RIP) collected Christmas ornaments.  We have a black Santa ornament on our tree.  Until now, no one has said a word about it.  This is not about what color Santa is.  You can look that fact up.  This is all about raising a ruckus with Fox News and Megyn Kelly.  That’s it.  Period.

In other news Jon Stewart and MessNBC are declaring snowmen to be racist symbols designed to hold the multi-cultural community back and that the Pillsbury Doughboy was actually born of two African parents.  He has that Michael Jackson disease that turned his skin white over time.  It makes about as much sense doesn’t it?

The Dynasty strikes back
I love it when people don’t just sit down and say, “OK we’ll shut up, because ours, though the majority of thought, is not politically correct thought.”  I have said over and over on this page that the true haters, bigots and least tolerant among us are all on the left.

It is true.  This Duck deal proves it.  And check this out from a homosexual guy.

It’s the left trying to shut people up about what the Bible says.  You are expected to accept and encourage every aberrant behavior that comes out of the left.  Any mention of right and wrong or – excuse the pun – God forbid mention of the Bible will get you crushed in the media.

Well the Robertson’s are not taking it.  They are prepared to tell A&E to take a hike.  Good for them.  I’m beginning to think that Phil is a genius.  He set this whole thing in motion by doing an interview that he had to know was not going to be friendly to him or his world view.  He – forgive the pun – waded in anyway.  If he doesn’t win out right, he will have exposed the intolerant left and militant homosexuals in a big way for what they are: anti-Christian bigots and bullies.
