Department of Education To Become Department Of Schoolyard Defense

MTG just proclaimed on Twitter that "school shootings should NEVER happen and will end immediately when our nations [sic] children are defended the same way Joe Biden is by good guys with guns!!!"

So we're going to turn all public schools into prisons, with metal detectors at all entry points, concrete blast walls to prevent penetration by gunfire, and armed guards on the perimeter walls and at every checkpoint?

Isn't this what every other country in the civilized world has done?

"Details remain sparse." But we know the back door was left open!

Looks like one network is going to once again push the narrative that we need more door control to stop mass school shootings. https://t.co/QZXgvDe7ob
