If you are a teacher and you are reading this, know you have my full honor and respect.

I want to bow down to the teachers in Taft. Such an example of compassion and reason and people skills saving the day. I wish I had such skills.

Hope the injured student recovers fully.

Seriously, a teacher in every gun shop, teaching about the dangers of guns in the home. NRA funded, of course. We need to make it happen, for realz.
