With crime, violence, and mass shootings happening in states all over the country, the Biden administration has demanded that gun control be discussed as a serious option to help protect citizens and children. While the Democrats promote banning certain assault rifles from being purchased and even putting an extremely heavy tax on guns, Republicans like State Senator Wendy Rogers had an entirely different approach. Wanting the same outcome as all Americans, the GOP has continuously pointed out that many of the mass shootings taking place happened in gun-free zones. According to Rogers, the answer isn’t taking away guns but educating and arming individuals.
Releasing her campaign ad for reelection, as can be seen in the video below, Rogers said, “Hi, I’m Senator Wendy Rogers, conservative Republican running to be reelected to the Arizona Senate. Our nation has a crime problem. And I want to talk to you about self-defense and the right to keep and bear arms. Most of these tragic shootings we hear about occur in gun-free zones. The shooters pick places they consider to be soft targets. That’s why I proposed campus carry, which cleared the Arizona Senate Judiciary Committee to allow students over 18, who have a concealed carry permit, to carry on campus for their own protection. That’s why I proposed and got passed into law declaring firearms manufacturers and retailers as essential businesses.”

Warning about the dangers of allowing a government to strip citizens of their guns, the State Senator added, “That is why I support school resource officers as well as arming trained teachers and administrators as they do in Israel and other states in our own country. And almost every instance where someone was on the scene with a firearm, the violent criminal was neutralized. We need more good guys with guns. The global communists in our country and around the world want Americans disarmed so they can treat us as the people of China are treated. Lockdowns where people are bolted into their homes and not allowed to leave. Parents being dragged off to COVID camps and children left to fend for themselves or worse.”
Rogers concluded her ad by once again detailing the importance of being able to bear arms and how it protected people. “Tyranny must never be allowed to thrive in this country. Our right to keep and bear arms protects everyone. It protects our schools. It protects our families. It protects you and me. To protect our gun rights, please reelect me to the Arizona Senate. Thank you, Wendy Rogers, out.”

Go. Gran’ma Wendy. I 100% agree with U. Weather U carry concealed or not the IDIOTS who go after our babies will have to stop and think about it first. I don’t no where the school is but they have a sign hanging on the fence to the school that plainly states “some faculty are ARMED”. Any dumb a$$ stupid enough to enter that school to hurt our babies deserves what is handed to them.
Hey Zach, it is bear arms not bare arms. Big difference.
🙂
I just learned that defense can be spelled defence
and it is the same. Who knew? (the c is more prevalent in Europe or such).
Really I could careless, are you giving lesson on here ? Go back to bed with your teddy bear!!
And we could ‘careless’ (sic) that you don’t care about learning.
I agree 110% with every single word you said and I totally agree that we should arm every single teacher that wants to be armed!!! Now we need to have a psychotic test before ever one who wants a gun may not be in the best interest of the safety of others around let’s say someone who’s having flashbacks from a war he’s been in at some point in their lives!!! Just maybe a little psycho on your hands!!! Kinda like tossing the wolves in with your chickens ya know to keep an eye on them??? Not so much of a good ideal!!!
The time and money it would take to do what you described would be unreal. And even if it were possible, there would be a lot slop thru the cracks. And 99.9 times out of 100, someone with the idea to go shoot up someone or many, wouldnt buy a gun from a FFL dealer, they would get one off the street. A criminal has no regard for the law, if they did, they wouldnt be criminals/ outlaws.
She’s not conservative and that’s probably the first time she’s ever touched a shotgun.
Since I’m not from Az.,I want to know, why is she not conservative? First time touching a shotgun? Please explain
I would vote for her. FJB.
since you have to be 21 to carry a pistol in the USA… not so sure the whole student thing is a good idea….if you’re 21 and still in high school…pretty good indicator I dont want you carrying a gun around me.
Arizona’s “Constitutional Carry” law (est. July 29, 2010) allows any citizen who can legally own/purchase a firearm and is 21 years or older to carry it loaded and concealed on their person without any type of permit or license anywhere inside the vehicle.
I’m sure the reference sue made about student carry was meant for college not high school. Shes right about soft targets that’s why criminals that want to shoot people seem to gravitate to grade schools in gun free zones (not always). The media doesn’t publicize the instances where criminals were neutralized by a concealed carry citizen very often. It does happen more than you know. https://www.personaldefenseworld.com/2015/03/10-cases-where-an-armed-citizen-took-down-an-active-shooter/
Zach,
We don’t need to give the left any excuse to discredit us as they already embrace this task as their full-time gig.. A right to “bare arms” would be considered asserting a right of fashion, not of the 2nd Amendment. Defintely worth proofreading or having a second set of eyeballs on your article before hitting the “Publish” button. Just saying.
Also, another thing the left is really good at, is controlling words. We consistently validate that ability by engaging them using their chosen words, until those words become legitimate vernacular. We need to stop that. The left invented the term “assault weapon”, a term completely detached from reality. Yet, we give them a pass and in doing so allow them to reconstruct our precious English language at will. Very dangerous indeed. There are numerous examples of other made-up words or terms, too numerous to list here, terms like “trickle down economics”, for which the great Thomas Sowell offered a bounty of (I believe) $50,000 to anyone who could locate the derivation. We’ve been complicit in allowing the deconstruction and destruction of our language.
Heads up. You’re better than that, Zach.
Sometimes Autocorrect corrects the right word into a wrong word. It’s caught me several times, reluctantly offering me the right word with a red underline as if it’s wrong and should be corrected. The programmers for Autocorrect are the illiterates, not necessarily Zach.
Your right. There is no such thing as an assault weapon. Technically a machete can be used to assault someone therefore the correct term is “Arms” and only arms which is a protected right by the phrase
“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
I agree with the right to keep and bear arms part. Just not certain that an 18 y/o student with raging testosterone/hormones and not fully “schooled” in life situations, should be packing in school. Not even taking into account the rise in the use of anti-depressants among “young adults” and the devastating effects of discontinuing use can have, I feel that there will almost certainly be situations where these young people let their emotions get the best of them, and may do something regrettable if they have a weapon at hand. Adult teachers and administrators, I am okay with, I just don’t think students should be allowed to carry arms in school.
Love this woman!
America needs more Grandmas with guns but less Grandmas (women) as civil leaders – none in fact!
“Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able MEN, such as fear God, MEN of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers….” (Exodus 18:21)
“As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.” (Isaiah 3:12)
“But I suffer not a woman to … to usurp authority over the man….” (1 Timothy 2:12)
This is not to say that the men in positions of civil leadership are any more biblically qualified than are today’s women – they’re not.
You can thank Article 6’s Christian test ban (by which mandatory biblical qualifications were likewise eliminated) on both counts.
For more regarding Article 6’s Christian test ban, see Chapter 9 “Article 6: The Supreme Law of the Land” of free online book “Bible Law vs. the United States Constitution: The Christian Perspective” at https://www.bibleversusconstitution.ORG/BlvcOnline/biblelaw-constitutionalism-pt9.html

I am an 88 year old retired USAF pilot who lives in Germany. I fought in two wars and two contingencies to protect our Nation and to keep our Constitution from being violated. I am fully aware that the Democrats have been attempting to change our Democracy into a Socialist, which quickly turns into Communist state since even before World War II (that is before 1941 for citizens who graduated from college or high school after 1945). I, along with millions of others, risked our lives to keep out Nation free, but we can plainly see that the Democrats are now full speed ahead to destroy our Nation, and make it into a poor, tyrant controlled state of confusion and helplessness. I have been to three different communist countries and spoken with normal citizens of those countries. Most would give their left or right arms to be able to live in our Nation. Yet, we have the Democrats who want to destroy the Government and it’s people. If the bastards don’t want to live under our Constitution – they should get their communist asses out of our Nation. God Bless America!
I have discussed with a number of military retirees who have experienced real combat, the matter of school safety as regards a half-crazed idiot entering a school to inflict shootings of students of any age. Almost all of my friends agree that a good possibility to protect students in our schools would be to allow all teachers/professors who agree to being armed in the classroom, but first have them enroll in a gun safety class and – this applies to all teachers/professors – be psychologically evaluated. We do have some educators who are a bit off-center and may be too dangerous to trust with a weapon, therefore all educators should undergo the evaluation. Evaluating some educators could in fact drive psychologists up the wall. There doesn’t seem to be a concrete solution to the problem of securing our schools, but my friends and I agree that arming educators after training and mental checkups are satisfactorily achieved is perhaps the most efficient way of resolving the matter. Warning: Psychologists beware, not all educators will be easy to evaluate; make certain they are not armed when you interview them. Safety first!!!
Love you lady, I wish we had some like you in Michigan!
Outstanding! You go, Wendy! Love the shotgun. Looks like my Winchester Defender! I am all for training and arming teachers, staff, maintenance workers and everyone in the entire school, and for College students allowed to carry in the classroom also. If Political Parasites were really serious about stopping all the gun violence and school shootings, only one law needs to be passed and that would be to forbid any Democrats from owning weapons, since it is 99.9% of the time a Leftist Democrat who does the shootings! Democrats hate Truth & Facts!
