If you are one of those people who believes the purpose of school is to educate children rather than indoctrinate them in the ways of liberalism, you probably went to one of those “stupid” schools that actually teaches. A school board in Maine just passed a gun control resolution because…I have no idea why. Seriously, for what reason would a school board pass a gun control resolution? It’s not even related to the debate around arming and training teachers, it’s just a typical liberal gun-grabbing/rights-stomping anti-2nd Amendment rant.
The Mount Desert Islander reports:
A resolution asking elected official at all levels to enact “common sense gun measures and other laws”…was adopted unanimously by the Mount Desert Island Regional School System (MDIRSS) board Monday night.
It urges passage of gun control measures including “universal background checks; increased regulation of gun ownership for those with criminal records, domestic violence, drug and alcohol convictions, and mental illness; increased research on the effects of gun violence on our society; and increased regulation of the civilian use of lethal, semi-automatic weapons and related devices that are weapons of choice in mass shootings.”
“It’s an opportunity to show our kids and the staff who work in our buildings that we really care, we really take them seriously, and we’re willing to take a stand on really hard issues,” said resolution sponsor Caroline Pryor.
No, it shows that the school board wastes its time pushing a liberal unconstitutional agenda.
And about that, the school board thinks they have their bases covered:
As part of the resolution, the school board affirmed the following: “We believe in and support the U.S. Constitution and all of its amendments, including the Second Amendment’s rights for sportswomen and men, hunters and others to own and use appropriate firearms.”
Let’s dissect the logic here, shall we? Saying you support the 2nd Amendment rights of only hunters and sportsman means you don’t support those rights for others. If you don’t support gun ownership rights for everyone, you don’t support the 2nd Amendment.
Also, since the the 2nd Amendment doesn’t say anything about gun ownership being limited to hunting and sporting purposes, claiming it does shows a complete lack of support for it. Plus, these nimrods want to put massive restrictions on gun ownership and ban weapons, which are 2 telltale signs that they may not be the biggest 2nd Amendment supporters on the block.
But let’s hear from an actual gun owner. Surely he would be against this resolution, right?
Board member Scott Grierson, a longtime gun owner who spoke in favor of the resolution at the school board’s March meeting, reiterated his support Monday.
Observing that he might be more comfortable with guns than many other members of the school board, Grierson said, “As someone probably from the other side of the spectrum, I applaud this resolution. Amen, I’m all for it.
He voted for a gun control resolution. I can assure him he’s on the same side of the spectrum as the non-gun owning liberals.
Now check out this weird little section:
“I don’t think this is about being anti gun or pro gun. This is trying to find some reasonableness, and I think this is a reasonable approach,” said Grierson.
Board member John Bench agreed that the resolution is reasonable.
As you can see, the consensus is that gun control is reasonable. It’s like these people have been brainwashed and programmed to repeat the same words. “Yes, we all agree on the reasonableness of the reasoning behind this reasonable reason.”
Let’s keep in mind that these people are members of a school board, responsible for the education of children, and they have changed the meaning of “unreasonable” to “reasonable.” Is it reasonable to restrict a Constitutionally protected civil right? Is it reasonable to strip a person of their ability to defend themselves? No, these things a are not reasonable.
