Another Brilliant Republican Idea
by Buck • 7:44 am

What would you do if your house was on fire? If you’re the owner, you would call the fire department. If your a firefighter, you would tackle the fire with water. If you’re a Republican, you would probably throw gasoline on it.

Lasee: teachers should pack heat

In the wake of school shootings in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Colorado over the past two weeks, one Wisconsin state representative devised a plan he thinks will help keep children safe.

Rep. Frank Lasee, R-Bellevue, announced legislation Wednesday that would allow teachers, principals and other school officials to carry concealed weapons on school property.

The proposed bill would not require all school officials to carry concealed weapons but would legally provide the option.

Lasee also expressed concern that gun control advocates might use the recent school shootings as a rallying point for stricter gun-control laws and qualified his suggestion by noting additional training would be needed to allow weapons around children in a crowded school environment.

“I want this to be a safe proposal,” Lasee said. “There’s no reason why we can-t do this safely.”
