Sean Hannity Spouts Bonkers Idea For How To Protect Every School And Mall, And People Are Making The Same Point

Sean Hannity Spouts Bonkers Idea For How To Protect Every School And Mall, And People Are Making The Same Point
Fox News // @lifeistooreal/Twitter

Far-right Fox News host Sean Hannity scrambled to defend the interests of the National Rifle Association in the wake of two mass shootings 13 hours apart in Dayton, Ohio and El Paso, Texas.


Rather than calling on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) to bring to the Senate floor a gun reform bill passed by the House in February, Hannity offered another solution:

More guns.

Watch below:

Hannity said:

"I'd like to see the perimeter of every school in America surrounded, secured by retired police ... have one armed guard on every floor of every school, all over every mall, the perimeter and inside every hall of every mall."

He proposed that retired law enforcement officers volunteer 15 hours a week to guard schools and malls in exchange for exemption from income taxes.

But would a paramilitary unit at every mall and school even be effective?

Mass shootings have occurred at bars, movie theaters, office buildings, mosques, synagogues, churches, concert arenas, military bases, post offices, garlic festivals, and countless other places.

The internet didn't take kindly to Hannity's bonkers proposal.



People soon responded with metaphors to demonstrate just how illogical peppering retired police officers would be.




So much for small government.

Space Force Commander Fired Over Email Criticizing Vance's Greenland Comments

Vice President J.D. Vance and the wider Trump administration are facing criticism now that Colonel Susan Meyers was removed from her post as commander at Greenland's Pituffik Space Base after breaking with Vance in an email she wrote following his controversial visit to the island territory.

Greenland is an autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark, alongside the Faroe Islands, the only other autonomous territory within the Kingdom. Citizens of both Greenland and the Faroe Islands are full citizens of Denmark. As one of the Overseas Countries and Territories of the European Union, Greenland’s citizens are also recognized as EU citizens.

Karoline Leavitt Dragged After Making Mind-Numbing Claim About Trump's Tariffs Reversal

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is getting called out after she attempted to justify President Donald Trump's sudden reversal on his proposed tariffs, telling reporters that his actions make sense because he has a master plan to make the world bend the knee.

Trump declared a full 90-day suspension of all the “reciprocal” tariffs that took effect at midnight April 10—except for those on China—in a dramatic about-face from a president who had long championed his historically high tariff rates as permanent.
