snip:
Betsy DeVos, President-elect Donald Trump's education secretary nominee, said it should be up to states whether guns are allowed in schools, citing grizzly bear protection as part of her answer.

I think troubles bruin for this nominee.

1. She was incoherent for sure. I think she was repeating what a senator had said previously

Either way. She's over her head. She'd be toast if she needed 60 votes. Now only 51, I don't know. So many nominees are even more awful then I previously thought.

2. She is a tad confused about the phrase "the right to bear arms"...

Must be her schooling as a child.

8. I don't remember a grizzly ever attacking a school child

outside of Yellowstone Park but maybe in this Twighlight Zone world we are living in it could happen.

And a child with a gun would definitely be able to protect themselves in case of a grizzly attack. Probably a shotgun would be the best thing.

Seriously, this is a woman who has been super protected all her life. Maybe she really thinks there are roaming grizzly bears out West.
