Washington, D.C. - In response to the tragedy at a Nashville elementary school earlier this week, House Republicans, led by Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (R-CO), are pledging to develop new strategies to prevent future school shootings.

"Not every teacher in a school needs to have access to an FIM-92 Stinger missile system," Boebert explained to reporters in the parking lot of the TGIFridays on Pennsylvania Avenue. "But there should be at least one that does, and that has the training to use it when necessary to keep our kids safe. Also the doors should lock from the inside."
Some schools have already taken the initiative to arm teachers with advanced military grade weaponry in response to the growing number of mass shootings impacting children. According to Kimberly Smith, a kindergarten Arts & Crafts teacher at Smiles and Giggles Academy in Boise, the best defense is an unrelenting offense capable of protecting a classroom or downing a Russian Mi-24 attack helicopter. "As my school's designated Stinger operator, I'm the last line of defense and I take my training very seriously."
