Teachers union president Randi Weingarten called for gun confiscation Tuesday, saying the U.S. must follow "what other great democracies" have done to ban guns, following the shooting at a Christian Nashville school.
Weingarten addressed the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) Tuesday morning regarding the aftermath of the school shooting that killed three children and three adults. After having a moment of silence for the victims, she reignited calls to ban "assault weapons."
"Today, we renew our call for common sense gun safety legislation, including a ban on assault weapons. This is an epidemic," Weingarten said. She added, "It’s an epidemic that our great nation must solve.

COURAGE? How much courage does it take to imprison a man or woman who is not wearing a COVID mask?

The “success” of the Aussie gun control experiment, removing 20% of guns in circulation, appears to depend totally on lazy statistics not taking into account a preexistant trend

They’ll come for my weapon, oh yes
But learn to their pain and distress
They won’t get my gun
Just the slugs one by one

Yeah, I desperately want to hear from the head of the union that has failed spectacularly in its one mission, teach children how to read and write.

She runs the Union that that is an arm of the Left used to coerce indoctrination, that intentionally fosters hate and mental illness in the young. who end up the mass shooters of tomorrow.
Audrey Hale like others are an extension of Randi Weingarten's and the teachers Union's hand, they are every bit as guilty as she is if not more so.
It has been said that we need Nuremburg style trials for the covid crimes against humanity. We also need them for the crimes against humanity at the US southern border and crimes against humanity is US public school system.

This is why these “random” shootings occur. They are manufactured in an effort to get the American people, but more importantly elected officials, on board with gun confiscation. There is a reason that school shootings rose dramatically under Obama. This is his baby.

I reiterate an opinion I have: The left is not crying over these shootings. They are being, at least, tolerated and accepted. Otherwise, why oppose guards in the schools? At the worst, they are facilitating them somehow by managing the (confused) social outcasts.
All to force public opinion and allow confiscation.

1. We all have god-given rights, including the right to keep and bear arms
2. Taking away guns from law-abiding citizens because someone else who is either mentally ill, evil, or both, is wrong on more levels than I can count
My question for people like Mr. Union chief: how can you and all your teachers union colleagues claim to be educated people when things like this come out of your mouths?

Randi Weingarten is an excellent example of why we need the 2nd amendment and most citizens should be packing. And since when did Scotland, Australia and New Zealand become great democracies and world leaders?

Not a single one of the guns in my locked gun safe have ever unlocked the cabinet and gone out & shot someone. It’s not the guns-it’s the evil & mentally ill people in this world who have shot people. Randi Weingarten has no business being ANYWHERE near children-she is truly evil.

Blood all over this slime's hands for NOT enacting Israeli style security for every school involved with her union. NO door unlocked or breachable by a small lunatic. No unarmed response. NO secure in place rooms. You might wonder why 'educated' slobs like Randi have not done these things after decades of tragedy. It is because they are stupid and evil.

So if you think you want to take my guns, you just come on over to my house and try!!! Don't hide behind big armed men to do what you believe is so "right". You come and try to do it yourself. I'll be waiting!!!

Re #3: No one knows precisely how many Australians turned in their pistols and rifles, but some intelligent cynics have guessed that no more that 20% of the firearms actually got turned in. Most of our Australian friends are not fools. They're still in possession of heat.

Yeppers, and that really worked for them...now, in Britain, they want to ban butter knives...why don't you go pee up an electric fence pole....it has never been a gun problem, but a people problem...until you can see that, it will never be fixed, and it is an epidemic, one of moraltiy, not firearms..and as I recall, years ago all the hoopla was about the 'saturday night special', now i't s the AR15 and they don't even know that that stands for..if it's black its an assault weapon...I'm gonna rename all mine Illegals so they let them alone...

How do you go about this? Have the military go door to door and ask for them? We have more guns than people and then only criminals will have them when they are confiscated.

Sorry, Randi, but we don't care what kind of government runs Australia or New Zealand but here in America, many people buy guns to protect the country from dictatorial scum like you and Joe Biden. Joe had two full years to take our guns but he thought better of it. By the way, the entire public school system is a huge failure and you are one of those who owns the failure. Go smack your fingers with a ruler 25 times.

I don’t know about New Zealand but here in Australia guns weren’t banned only semi automatics. There are millions of guns in Australia in private hands. How do these people think that people get shot? The difference here though is that we never had a 2nd amendment or a gun culture most of us just don’t care enough about guns to worry about it.

Does Randi know that gun violence has not gone down in Australia or NZ? Only change is that it is the criminals using the guns and that citizens are left defenseless. Even Obama was smart enough to shut up when somebody brought up Australia when he was president.

Randi, our public schools are failing. They are turning out illiterates who are not prepared for the real world. If you and your union put the same effort into teaching that you do political activism, we would have the smartest kids on the planet.

What does this idiot think would happen if her fellow democrat stooges in DC would've done if We the People didn't have guns? Poor Randi corrupt, ugly and stupid is no way to go through life. By the way Randi you want my guns come and get them.
