Steny Hoyer: Arming Teachers, ‘Turning the Schools into Armed Fortresses’ Won’t Make Them Safer

Trent Baker 9 Jun 2022

On Wednesday, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) pushed back against the notion that arming teachers would help prevent future mass school shootings.

“CNN Newsroom” host Jim Sciutto asked Hoyer about the value of the House passing symbolic gun legislation, knowing there would not be enough support in the Senate to get it passed into law.

Hoyer bemoaned that they had not figured out a message yet, “other than turning our schools into armed fortresses.” He decried the arming of teachers, saying it would not make schools safer.

“We haven’t found what those messages are yet, other than turning our schools into armed fortresses,” Hoyer replied.

“Now, look, I’m for having security officers in schools to keep our schools safe. I’m for keeping doors locked. But the theory that if we just give more and more people armed, whether they’re teachers, employees of the school, if we just give more and more people arms, somehow we’re going to be safer, that is absolutely not the case,” he added. “It’s not the fact. And this happens nowhere else in the world. Not in big countries, not in democratic countries, not in dictatorships — no other country in the world has the gun violence that America has.”

B.S.  If putting armed security guards at banks, gravel yards, etc, makes those places safer, then putting an armed guard at the entrance to a school will make the school safer.

So putting that fence and armed National Guard around the Capital was just theater, plying the victim card to waste millions of taxpayer dollars is o score political points? Of course disruption of the guardsmen’s lives and making them live under miserable conditions was all a bonus.

Steny Hoyer: Arming Teachers, ‘Turning the Schools into Armed Fortresses’ Won’t Make Them Safer

Yeah, trying to re-invent America into a socialist totalitarian dream, needs crisises to become reality.  Just because Israel which had a severe problem with terrorist slaughtering their children in schools, and had it come to an end by arming teachers, and proved it worked, doesn't mean it can or will work here, what matters proof by success?  The FOR THE CHILDREN BUTCHERS, demand school slaughters is a righteous way of demanding and getting social change, and democrats are currently ramming social change down our throats on many levels.  Too many of the changes striven for can be thwarted by an armed citizenry, therefore the criminals don't and are not forced to give up their arms, but the armed citizenry that will oppose the totalitarian regime social change the democrats are fanatically driven to force on us must not accept anything less that a totally disarmed law abiding citizenry.
Arm drug lords, Taliban, Muslim jihadist terrorists, empower BLM terrorism, but don't let the law abiding defend themselves, got it?

Remember, anything Biden does is better than Trump, REMEMBER?  You got it your way!  This is on YOU TOO.

There is no amount of gun control that will stop school massacres. Guns are not the problem. There is no law that will stop anyone from committing mass murder that is already illegal. The stupid politicians don't realize that when the SHTF they will be the first to go.

Bullshit, Stenny! When I went to High School in MD, the race riots calmed down a lot when the MD state Police were walking the halls, armed, and with K-9 dogs to boot. I'd bet the same dynamic would be effective a half century later.
