Rep. Gohmert: I Wish to God the Principal Would Have Had an M4 in Her Office Locked Up

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX), a staunch Second Amendment supporter, told Chris Wallace today on FOX News Sunday, "And, hearing the heroic story of the principal lunging, trying to protect. Chris, I wish to God she would have had an M4 in her office locked up. so when she heard gunfire she pulls it out and she didn't have to lunge heroically with nothing in her hands, But she takes him out, takes his head off before he could kill those precious kids."

Easily the dumbest person in congress.

I am a school teacher in Texas . My house was broke into by a 2 men with guns , with my 2 sons home . I had to defend my family and did not hesitate one died and one gun man lived, but he will never be the same. I only fired 2 shots, my family is alive.

I love the anti gun talking of his craziness. Those children were crouched down in corners hiding. This makes much more sense. Even deer run when shot at. What the hell is wrong with America with this I'd rather lay down and die attitude. Israel has had many shooters in school and has not had one for many years. Why,the staff is armed now -All OF THEM.

So if a terrorist (foreign or domestic) found a way into the school, a volunteer task force of trained teachers (similar to an old time fire brigade or rapid medical response / hazmat team) could dispatch the bad guy(s) that would be a bad idea?!?

[Jerry Young]

I could hear the emotion in his voice, I was almost moved to tears, he has a VERY valid point! How could you all disagree I don't understand? If someone attacked your children's school wouldn't you be happy if some teacher had violated the policy and pulled a weapon out of their trunk and ended the situation BEFORE your child was injured or had to witness such horrific acts?!?!? PLEASE take a moment and reflect on that HONESTLY...

I wouldn't let this guy have a gun even if it shot water

[john stoner]

only in USA this dumb dude ,get elected to any office at all. ..

[Teresa Adams]

Was she suppose to go back to her office & unlock where ever she keeps her gun & get it out? Or answer the door, which may have been a child late for school, with the gun in her hand? This is just plain crazy talk

[MrJonVike]

It is seriously being considered that schools should KEEP guns in them after the massacre? compounding the problem as far as I see it. Being from a country where guns are heavily restricted I find this idea horrible and would rather no one have a gun than everyone carry one for their 'safety'

[Caladcholg]

Totally disagree, but you can see he is actually remoreful
