Teacher Loan Forgiveness Programs already exist. Perkins loans, for example, have a program that forgives 100 percent of an eligible borrower’s loan balance over five years.

Make no mistake, if you assaulted a trooper in any way shape or form, even once, never mind three times, you better expect to be shot dead. Law enforcement shoot to kill in the center of the mass, period. If this guy pushed or assaulted a trooper, he would be dead.

Correct. "Assault weapon" is the anti-gun rights created term to conflate civilian semi-autos with military, select-fire, assault rifles in the minds of less gun-savvy people. A deliberate attempt to make people think of scary machine guns rather than century old civilian firearms tech.
