Tennessee state representative asks protesters which weapon they would prefer to be shot with

A Tennessee politician tried to educate some students protesting gun violence at the Tennessee Capitol on Monday, but missed by a long shot.

The students were reacting to a recent shooting at a private Christian school in Nashville which led to the deaths of three children and three adults.

State Rep. William Lamberth agreed to speak to the protesters, but he had a strange way of trying to win a debate with students worried about being shot in class.

Lamberth’s approach was to ask students which firearm they would prefer to be shot with.

“If there is a firearm that you feel comfortable with when you get shot, please show me what it is,” he rhetorically asked.

Lamberth probably thought the question he asked the protesters was deep and Socratic, but it came across as ruthless, especially when he shrugged it off.

“So you’re not going to like my answer and, look, I’m going to say that straight out,” Lamberth warned. “It’s not about this gun.”

He then stated that it would be impossible to prevent every gun from falling into “the hands of a crazy person, a deranged person, (or) a convicted felon,” and even if it did, “it would do nothing to prevent everyone’s safety.

Lamberth has previously protested red flag lawssaying that, “We don’t take Fourth Amendment Rights or First Amendment Rights, or Second Amendment Rights or Fifth Amendment Rights from people without due process, without making sure that everybody knows what they are.” the rules ahead of time.

Naturally, Twitter users mocked his comments suggesting that one gun would kill you just like another.
