Call your legislature reps and tell them to call out this Republican for wanting guns in schools! :0

There will be a move in our state legislature to use this week's events to try and push to stop the ban on guns in schools and to allow teachers to "carry" them there. This needs to be stopped in its tracks, and Richardson needs to be isolated for the loony he is for even advocating such a stupid move...

I can see the political cartoon right off the top of my head:

A Teacher in front of the class with cowboy boots and spurs and a gun in a side holster maybe a chair next to his desk (I'm channeling Eastwood here). The caption reads "Go ahead, make my day". The kids are all shivering like they are scared to death.
