American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten Calls for Gun Ban
AWR Hawkins 29 Mar 2023
American Federation of Teachers (AFT) President Randi Weingarten pushed a ban on an entire category of firearms, urging the U.S. to have the “courage” that Scotland and Australia showed in enacting their stringent gun controls.
“Today, we renew our call for common sense gun safety legislation, including a ban on assault weapons. This is an epidemic,” Weingarten said, according to FOX News.
She added, “It’s an epidemic that our great nation must solve. And how many lives will be shattered before we have the courage to do what Scotland did, what Australia did, what New Zealand did, what other great democracies do? We must solve this epidemic, and that’s up to us.”
FOX News noted, “Scotland got the U.K. to ban handguns and Australia issued a mandatory gun buyback program in 1996 of semi-automatic rifles and shotguns.”
The AFT partnered with Everytown for Gun Safety Support Fund, a prominent gun control lobby group, to “[call] on lawmakers to stand up to the gun lobby.”
They also stand with gun control lobby staple, the Brady Campaign, on their website, and quote a 2018 poll in an attempt to show Americans support an “assault weapons” ban.
However, on February 7 Breitbart News pointed to an ABC/Washington Post poll which showed that the majority of Americans oppose an “assault weapons” ban.
The poll was conducted with 1,003 adults January 27–February 1, 2023, and 51 percent of respondents opposed such a ban.
In 2019, the Associated Press reported that AFT joined with Everytown to oppose teachers in Florida having the option to be armed for classroom defense.

Some people are just part of the problem.
-
The problem isn't guns; the problem is the mentally ill, and the fact that liberals like the AFT are egging those people on to greater and greater acts of rage and anger, until they engage in violence.
Trans is mental illness, and so-called "affirming treatment" is simply making it worse and egging on the violence.

Exhausted from her efforts to destroy public education in the U.S., Randi moves on to violating all Americans' constitutional rights.

I recommend going halfway… impose a ban on anything more lethal than a peashooter on all liberals.

We are in trouble as a society when we are expected to give up our rights because of political correctness and wokeness. Expecting our society to accept homosexuality, transexuality and whatever others "identify themselves as" is promoting the further decay of our society, This situation is proof that we have created a disaster.
Years ago being a homosexual was classified as a mental illness; the psychologists, doctors, etc., changed that and determined that homosexuality was not a mental illness. Clearly this transexual had mental issues. Guns aren't the issue, mental illness is the issue. Anyone that takes shots at innocents has mental issues.
Our government is allowing and condoning gender changes on young children and making them question their gender identity. Yes, as a society we are in deep trouble. I can't help but wonder what other nations who don't accept homosexuality are thinking about us?

Whether homosexuality is a mental illness - a discussion for another time - trans is necessarily a mental illness because the whole basis for it, so-called body dysphoria, is by definition a mental illness.

I want government out of education. Drop the whole corrupt Federal system that wasn't constitutional to begin with. It is nothing but an anti-American indoctrination system now that bloats government and wastes taxes.
