*Lawmaker Calls For Armed Teachers As TN Grants Millions For Officers* Guns save lives. This is a simple fact that we’ve seen play out countless times. More guns mean more lives saved.

Norm Borlaug Gave Us The Green Revolution: What's Next?
Dr. Norm Borlaug, the "father of the Green Revolution", is credited with saving a billion lives using agricultural science, and for the last 50 years he and his successors debunked the Malthusian claims of cynics like Paul Ehrlich, John Holdren, and their modern-day acolytes like Bill McKibben, Michael Pollan, and Naomi Oreskes.
