Donald Trump wants to arm teachers with guns

Yeah, because historically that's always worked so well.

Cold War, anyone?

I would argue that the Cold War is the perfect example. The threat of MAD could have been why there was neither Soviet expansion into Western Europe and /or use of nuclear weapons in any subsequent conflict. And ultimately the USSR, which Reagan correctly labeled an evil empire, collapsed. While US military might was not solely responsible for that collapse it was clearly a major contributor.

The wisdom of evolution:

In the UK we had a school mass shooting in 1996. We banned the type of gun used and have not had one since.

We learnt the lesson, because for us the murder of children was too important to ignore.

Americans want their guns and will do anything to keep them, even accepting the regular mass slaughter of children. The rest of the world thinks your mad.
