Ohio Republican tries to own his opponent by claiming teens should be able to bring guns to school

[tenderfoot]

Antani told the Dayton Daily News Thursday that he was not advocating the arming of students, but rather that “students should have the option of carrying long guns in school if they meet the legal criteria to do so.”

“The law is anybody above 21 can have a handgun and anybody above 18 can have a long gun, and so anyone who complies with the law should be able to carry and protect themselves,” Antani said.

He added that “many decades ago, people brought their firearms to school,” but usually left them in their cars.

The argument started when Dickerson said that unlike his opponents, he intends to listen to students calling for safer schools. To do so, Dickerson called on his opponent to renounce House Bill 233, a bill that would, the Daily News reported, “allow a concealed handgun licensee or military member to carry a deadly weapon into a gun-free zone, and avoid punishment, so long as the person leaves upon request and doesn’t return with the weapon within 30 days.”

In response, Antani accused Dickerson of lying, and then doubled down his support for the bill, saying “students deserve a chance to stand their ground and defend themselves.

1. And there you have it

The more people who carry, the safer we will all be.

Nope, just the opposite. But your way does sell more guns.

2. But that is the most deeply held

religious belief of the gun worshippers.

And we gotta respect their religion (although they are, of course, under no obligation to honor anyone else's).

3. I am still "reeling" from the video of the mother taking her children to a mosque to

teach them how Muslims are animals and that they are to hate them.

Made me really mad. Wish everybody was mad.

7. All students or just white students?

Every repugnant goon solution to problems with gun violence involves somebody buying more guns.

Gun maker profits > human life if you are a repugnant goon politician.

8. how about teens bringing guns into the chambers of congress? nt
