Last night, Sean Hannity reminded viewers repeatedly that yet another school shooting tragedy is not the time to “politicize” the tragedy.
He then went on to repeatedly advocate for the only solution: add an armed gun to every school. Hollywood elites and politicians have armed bodyguards, so good solution for every school in a country, too, right?
Only problem is there was an armed guard at the Texas school where the shooting occurred, and that person was unable to stop it.
Hannity ran his “armed guards in every school” solution by a guest on the show – the mayor of the Town where the shooting occurred. The mayor let him know that there was an armed guard at the school.
“Oh, there was?” Hannity commented, before continuing the show on script that armed guards are the only solution. We will post a link to the transcript here and precise language after it is available on the Fox News site.
By the way, there were also armed police surrounding the building for perhaps 40 minutes, who were unable to immediately stop one shooter with a gun.
Meanwhile, gunmakers Sturm Ruger and Smith & Wesson saw their stocks go up after the shooting incident. Which makes sense if investors expect people to buy more guns, which seems to be what Hannity is advocating.
So while Hannity says stop “politicizing” a tragedy, apparently he means stop telling people to restrict guns so he can tell people they need more guns.
