Brownells Donates AR-15s for School Security
That ought to raise some eyebrows.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

During the last administration, the Dept of Homeland Security purchased 7000 select-fire, full-auto rifles which were designated: Personal Self Defense Rifles. So why not have AR-15 semi-auto rifles designated to defend our schools?? Are students not worthy of being defended like those in the Dept of Homeland Security??

I suppose there may be some room for legitimate debate here;
Carbines or pistols, or both? Should carbines be select-fire or semi-auto only?
I’ll say both, and semi-auto is OK in a school, where you’ll necessarily have a lot of innocents to look out for in a firefight.
BUT WAIT; we’ve gotten WAY ahead of ourselves! First; who says government-run schools were a good idea? Who says they’re constitutional? I say that education should be included in the first amendment, along with religion, for exactly the same reasons;
“Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of education, nor prohibiting the free exercise thereof…”
It’s not up to our wanna-be dictators to tell us how, or what, to think and “learn”, and then force that stuff on our children. It’s simply not their business, and they should be actively and thoroughly prevented from getting anywhere near the concept.
Obliterate the very idea of “public education” as anything but a crime, leave teaching up to parents, private interests and the free market, and school shootings would be diminished greatly, right there.
It’s not up to “us” to have a “public policy” on any of this stuff, except to make sure there’s no interference in people’s honest endeavors.
We’re already so far off the rails then, that’s it’s rather pointless to talk about it– No solutions, other than authoritarian “solutions”, are even being considered.
Liberty is not considered to be a serious option. Therefore whatever “solution” is adopted, it will fall short. “There will be much weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

Lyle, such an amendment would technically be unnecessary (as is the 1st Amendment) since there is no power granted in Article 1 Section 8 for the federal government to have anything to do with education.
Unfortunately, “limited government” is an empty phrase that shows up only in some civics classes and some campaign speeches, not in the real world. And for that reason, the Bill of Rights is somewhat helpful. But only somewhat — just because it says that a right “shall not be infringed” doesn’t keep creative judges from making up BS excuses for infringing it anyway.
