Florida’s Teacher of the Year Bluntly Writes WHY School Violence Is Out of Control

Comrade? That's funny, Mr. Slartibartfast. But not as funny as your daily displays of ignorance.

If you want to look at the bigger picture, The NRA has spent just a little over $200 million on political activities in the last 20 years. That's an average of about $10 million per year. Labor unions, OTOH, spent $1.7 billion in 2016 alone, mostly on Dems which is 8.5 X what the NRA spent in 20 years, or 170 X what the NRA spent on average per year.

"The NRA has spent $203.2 million on political activities since 1998."

Oh, well that is ok then Comrade Poindexter. From your own Politifact link. No problem here.

Other lobby groups of course.. and their influence over PACS etc.

Wonder if we overlaid this on school shootings..

What's your point Mr. Slartibartfast? That's the $203.2 million that I already pointed out, spent over a 20 year period, which is chump change in the scheme of political spending because it's less than 12% of what labor unions spent -- mostly on Dems -- in 2016 alone.

Comrade Poindexter, look again at the chart.. Now I know you are not a trader, just a little squeakski doing Pooties work but you will get it eventually.

Quite the opposite, you utter moron. I can tell by glancing at that chart that it adds up to ~$200million. Which you apparently can't and which still doesn't address the fact that this 20 year total is less than 12% of union spending in a single year.

Or, if you're implying that the recent increases are somehow responsible for school shootings, that's equally stupid and you're part of the reason why no fact based solutions will ever be implemented. It's not the NRA to blame, nor is it inanimate objects.

Comrade Poindexter.. why would you compare Union spending with NRA?

Because, Mr. Slartibartfast, they're both political spending and while the NRA pittance supports those who are already pro-Second Amendment, the significantly larger amount of union money supports mostly politicians who are already for "gun control" -- for the simple reason that the bulk of their contributions go to Democrats.

"Pittance" :) You funny comrade Poindexter.. funny little boy!

Nice chart there.
 
What gun(s) do you use to hunt upland game and water fowl?
Really? I have a gun that is at least 50 years old passed down from my father. Well maintained. Why in 20 years would firearms not be available?
semiautomatics. not firearms in general. As a kid I had a "white Powder Wonder" single shot, shot gun. I eventually inherited my dads Remington 12 Ga pump and a beautiful Winchester 22 long with a peep sight. That 22 had an hexagonal barrel, and was a really beautiful rifle. I no longer have either. May dad was a champion at skeet and an accomplished marksman in the field. He could pull down three greenheads out of a single flock, never hitting a hen. He was an amazing shot. I was the kid that went out in our leaky canvas dingy to set decoys at the break of dawn in bitterly cold weather in Colorado's San Louis valley , near Alamosa -- as far as i'm concerned , one of the coldest places on Earth. There is artesian water there that does not freeze despite very low temps. I recall very well the ice on the bottom of my pants and then sitting on a hand warmer and putting it out. Part of duck hunting is getting up in the middle of the night out of a sound sleep, eating pancakes at a local joint that caters to hunters, then heading for the blind when it is still dark in freezing weather. The best hunting is always in the worst weather when the ducks are flying low. I think deer hunters are sissies by comparison. I don't think I am right about the model number of my dads Remington. I thought it was a 33, that's what I remember, but I looked it up and it seems the 33 a rifle. It must have been a 31 not 33. He would have probably acquired it sometime in the late 40s or very early 1950s before I started hunting with him. A very nice gun, side ejecting , 4 rounds, which is plenty! I don't hunt any more , but have many great memories. There was also opportunities to hunt quail (mostly) and pheasant.

HANG ON A MOMENT HERE.. I was busy today and sensed something smelled a bit.

She was named teacher of the year ONLY at her own school in Florida it seems? She is a teacher of the year of hundreds/thousands I'm sure, in Florida.

She is not Florida's teacher of the year which is a real thing:

Is this correct?

Not even a regional winner.
