Tenn. State Rep Asks Protesters What Gun They'd Prefer To Be Shot With

"If there is a firearm out there that you’re comfortable being shot with, please show me which one it is,” William Lamberth asked rhetorically.

State Rep. William Lamberth (R) agreed to talk with the protesters, but had a weird way to trying to win a debate with students worried about getting shot in class.
Lamberth's approach was to ask the students which firearm they'd prefer to be shot with.

"If there is a firearm out there that you're comfortable being shot with, please show me which one it is," he asked rhetorically.

Lamberth probably thought the question he asked the protesters was deep and Socratic, but it came across as heartless ― especially when accompanied by a shrug.
"So you're not going to like my answer, and, look, I'm going to say that straight up," Lamberth warned. "It's not about this one gun."

He then claimed that it would be impossible to stop every single gun from getting into "the hands of a crazy person, a deranged person, [or] a convicted felon," and even if it was done, it "would do nothing to prevent y'all's safety."
