2nd Amendment, meet First Amendment.

Young people have decided they aren't expendable. It's like Viet Nam. I am so proud.

But this means they might miss their free hot lunch. Won't they starve to death?

Hate to disappoint you, Majax. Maybe you can send some more of your racist thug friends to finish the job? Lynchings aren't dramatic enough anymore, right?

I guess Trump wants to arm teachers now as his brilliant solution. Surprise?

Would that not serve as a deterrent?

SHAPIRO: Let's start with last week's school shooting in Florida. How did trolls online exploit that tragedy?

SHAHANI: Well, I spoke with a researcher at New Knowledge - that's a group that studies pro-Russia trolls - and he gave me a chilling timeline. By 2:30 p.m. Eastern that day he saw an uptick of messages by this one troll network. And they just started sharing breaking news, OK? But by 3 p.m. Eastern, a half hour later, they quickly pivoted to conspiracy theories, speculating it was a Democrat conspiracy and also advancing an extreme pro-gun position, saying teachers need to carry concealed handguns to protect students.

Now, that latter talking point made its way into mainstream news. So it's an example of how anyone can drive the national conversation - you know, advocate strongly for an extreme position and manufacture a ton of retweets at the exact moment when pundits are looking to define the polls.

Not at all. Why would it when many of these killers expect to be killed in the process?

It will only serve as another safety hazard.

Probably not. I would imagine there are a lot of adults who would be proud to feed those kids. It's a WWJD moment. I'm sure Jesus would say "get back into school, you liberal ingrates! It's been 18 years since the Columbine Massacre. Give us just a few more years until all the fuss dies down and we'll figure something out."

Other than the Columbine shooters, did any of them expect to be killed in the process?

It will only serve as another safety hazard.

Or it would provide teachers with a method to bring an end to the killing much faster.
