Mook: Talk of Arming Teachers Distracting Us from Banning Assault Rifles

‘That’s what we should be talking about, but Donald Trump’s got us talking about an absurd idea that will never happen’

RUSH EXCERPT:
MOOK: "Oh, of course. This was classic Donald Trump where he goes out and says one thing to try to, you know, appease maybe more moderate voters, seem like he's being thoughtful, and then he gets in a room with one of -- either one of his right -- ultra right wing advisers or with the NRA, and, boom, he completely flipped his point of view. In fact, I think this whole idea of arming teachers is going to go nowhere. I feel sorry for the teachers because they're totally wasting their time on this ... So some kids are safe and others are less safe. Here's why they're doing it. They want us to discuss arming teachers, which is absurd, so we don't talk about real things that we need to do, like banning some of these assault-style weapons. Banning the bump stocks. That's what we should be talking about, but Donald Trump's got us talking about an absurd idea that will never happen."
