New NRA President: Teachers Should Be Armed

MARIETTA, GA — Cobb County resident Carolyn Meadows, newly elected president of the NRA, is wasting no time in entering the local and national political fray. In a tough-talking interview with the Marietta Daily Journal, Meadows expressed her strong support for arming teachers:

“I believe in arming teachers. Absolutely. In my church, I’m armed. My pastor is a shooter, a hunter, he knows I am, people in the congregation do. This is not NRA position, but as far as I’m concerned, I’d love to have a sign out front: ‘We have gun-toting teachers and security.’ (Mass shooters) go where the people are weak.”

Meadows, who has been a leader in the NRA and other conservative causes for years, also had an explanation for Democrat Lucy McBath’s shocking Congressional win last fall when she unseated Karen Handel, who had the strong endorsement of the NRA:

“It is wrong to say like McBath said, that the reason she won was because of her anti-gun stance. That didn’t have anything to do with it — it had to do with being a minority female. And the Democrats really turned out, and that’s the problem we have with conservatives — we don’t turn out as well.”

McBath’s district has already been targeted by the NRA and Republicans as a 2020 battleground race.

McBath defeated Handel, a Republican, just over a year after the former Georgia secretary of state won the seat in a special election against Jon Ossoff, a campaign that became the nation’s most expensive congressional election in history. The seat had become vacant when Tom Price joined President Donald Trump’s cabinet as secretary of health and human services. Price later resigned the office, becoming the first of several Trump cabinet members to depart.
