Subject: BS: Boxer & LaPierre agree - guns in schools
I find it odd how the far left-wing Boxer and the far right-wing Wayne LaPierre agree that guns need to be forced on schools:

Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer of California, a bottomless fountain of foolishness, has proposed a measure that would permit governors to deploy National Guard troops to provide "security" at government-run schools.

"Is it not part of the national defense to make sure that your children are safe?" Boxer asked during a Capitol Hill press conference in the misguided belief that this content-free trope somehow constituted compelling wisdom.

She blithely stated that her proposal wouldn't be a violation of the Posse Comitatus Act (which was supposed to prevent the domestic use of the military for the purpose of law enforcement) because it would allow governors to re-purpose troops who are already being used for drug interdiction operations. That is to say, the militarization of schools wouldn't constitute a new Posse Comitatus violation, but rather expand on an existing one.

The National Rifle Association doubled down Sunday on its controversial push for armed guards to be stationed in every US school, despite anger among gun control advocates over the group's "tone deaf" proposals.

So why do this left-wing and right-wing extremist agree on the need to surround our kids with armed people?
