Sen. Rand Paul: It’s Time to Say ‘We’re Not Going to Leave Our Kids Defenseless’

During a May 18 Fox News appearance Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said it is time for Americans to take a stand and say, “We’re not going to leave our kids defenseless.”

His comments came in the wake of the shooting that killed at least 8 at Santa Fe High School.
Paul said, “Why don’t we say it as a country – we’re not going to leave our kids defenseless. We’re going to defend them.”

He also spoke to Hollywood celebrities who react to a high profile firearm-based crime with calls for more gun control, saying, “Every Hollywood actor that hates guns has armed bodyguards defending them. So they hate guns unless the guns are defending them.”

Paul’s call to protect our children is reminiscent of President Trump’s response to the February 14 Parkland school shooting. CNN reported that Trump responded to Parkland by saying that a “gun-free zone to a maniac—because they’re all cowards—a gun-free zone is ‘let’s go in and let’s attack because bullets aren’t coming back at us.’” Trump said adopting a policy where “20 percent” of teachers are armed would reduce or eliminate the perception of weakness, making schools a riskier target to strike.

  1. The common elements are large public schools and students in those schools. It's not the 70's any more. Parents need to wonder, what are those schools doing to create so many psychopaths? Home school or die. If you give your kids over to the public school, you are endorsing everything that commonly happens there, evendors on a good day. And that old "but the schools in my area are good schools" doesn't carry the weight it once did.

      There are few good schools anymore and that includes private ones.

      Our homeschool group met once a week in a similar manner.

  2. Strange happening, when the school tried to call 911 during
    the attack, the cell phone service did not work. Now I wonder
    who cut off the cell service. Probably the very ones who
    mentally stimulated this murderer via some wondrous technological advancement.
