Jenelle Evans Feuds with Jeremy Calvert Over Guns: Don"t Come at Me, Bro!
Jenelle Evans … where do we even start?
It"s obvious that the girl isn"t doing so well right now, for whatever reason.
After all, people who are well do not follow strangers to their homes and then threaten them with guns.
There"s a whole, whole lot going on with her right now, and we"ve been talking about it for a while.
But now Jeremy Calvert has thrown his two cents in about what happened and what should be done about it.
And, wouldn"t you know it, Jenelle is PISSED.
1. Here We Go …
So, as you’ve probably heard, Jenelle is in a little bit of hot water right now.
2. Road Rage
There was an incident last week, and while right now it’s a he said, she said situation, the gist of it is that Jenelle got some serious road rage and followed a guy back to his house to confront him.
3. Oh, Honey
According to the transcript from her 911 call, a man was driving erratically and hit his brakes right in front of her, and when she hit hers to avoid crashing into him, it nearly gave Jace whiplash. Poor Jenelle, right?
4. Why?
But according to the man and a few other witnesses, she was the one acting a fool on the road, and when this guy passed her, she lost it. She followed him home, hit some cars and some mailboxes on his property, then got out of the car with a gun in her hand. She left before police arrived.
5. Not a Great Look
So this is bad. This is really, really bad.
6. Consequences
Could Jenelle get charged with something? It seems like she definitely broke a few laws here, right? Even if she doesn’t face some legal consequences for this, it seems clear that something is going on with her — could she be headed for a classic Jenelle breakdown? At the very least, could she be fired from Teen Mom 2 for this?

Jenelle Evans: Still Posting About Guns, Still Pissing Off Fans
It"s been almost a month since David Eason was fired from Teen Mom 2 after launching a homophobic rant on Instagram.
The vile incident was spurred by a photo of Jenelle Evans shooting a gun that Eason posted just hours after the Parkland, Florida school shooting.
Fans implored him to take the photo down out of respect to the victims" families.
Eason refused, and all hell broke loose.
One would think that Jenelle would have learned a valuable lesson from her husband"s firing, but weeks later, the Carolina Hurricane is still using her newfound love of firearms to troll fans:
1. The Offending Photo
Eason posted this image as a Valentine’s Day tribute to his wife. Unfortunately, it appeared online just hours after the Parkland, Florida school shooting that claimed 17 lives.
2. Combative Dave
Fans begged Dave to take the photo down, but he refused. And then he went on the offensive in truly disgusting fashion…
3. Your Bigotry Is Showing…
David proceeded to hurl homophobic insults at the Twitter users who suggested he delete the post. For obvious reasons, this illicited an uproar from fans, as well as from several other stars of the Teen Mom franchise. MTV responded swiftly…
4. The Changing of the Easons
David was fired by producers, and MTV released a statement informing viewers that he would no longer appear on any of its new programming.
5. Jenelle Tries to Make It Right
Jenelle issued a public apology in which she lamely claimed that David “doesn’t understand Twitter” and can’t be homophobic because he once attended a party at which they were also gay people in attendance. Needless to say, no one was moved to sympathy for Eason.
6. Evans on the Offensive
When her apology failed, Jenelle tried a different approach. And not surprisingly, the Carolina Hurricane now finds herself at the center of yet another controversy…

Briana DeJesus Speaks Out on Guns in Classrooms
While Jenelle Evans doubles down on guns in the wake of the latest mass shooting, Briana DeJesus is stepping up and sharing some much more sensible views.
In particular, she’s trashing the idea of arming teachers, and targeting the Florida legislature’s move to do so in particular.
In a world where the President is a reality star, it’s not so surprising to hear a Teen Mom 2 star making some salient points about public policy.
On February 14th, a tragic and terrible shooting at a Florida high school left 17 dead.
The survivors have become a rallying point for common sense gun control legislation. Noting a failure of government leadership, a number of major businesses — starting with Dick’s Sporting Goods — have announced that they’re enacting their own measures.
In the mean time, Trump has suggested arming teachers with guns, an idea that’s been widely lampooned online.
And the Florida legislature, to the surprise of no one familiar with the exploits of Florida Man and Florida Woman, decided to pour $ 67 million into a plan to arm teachers throughout the state.
Briana DeJesus took to Twitter to speak out:
“Stupidest thing ever to give teachers guns … what is the point of safety patrols on campuses then??”
She’s referring to school resource officers — police who spend time working security on campuses as a measure that people hope will keep students safer.
Briana DeJesus gets very real about the role that racism plays in schools and in countless shootings.
“I have a child of color and knowing 10 teachers in her school will carry a gun terrifies me.”
With guns everyone, it just takes one racist person on one bad day to end a child’s life.
“As a parent I know I won’t be able to protect my kids every second go the day. And I would want their teachers to love and protect like I would.”
But Briana lives in real life, not in fantasy land where everyone’s a trained marksman. (Though we should note that many combat veterans have spoken out about how dangerous arming teachers could be)
“But giving teachers guns just isn’t right and spending 67 [million dollars] is crazy.”
The amount that the legislature was willing to conjure up out of nowhere is a sticking point for many people.
“They won’t ever spend 67 million on education but for guns … it’s okay?”
Someone challenged her, suggesting that arming teachers — who are not trained to be armed guards and are not paid to be armed guards — would be a great way to protect students.
“I’m all for protecting kids but there’s no reason to give TEACHERS guns.”
She’s already addressed the expense and the fact that not all teachers would be safe with a gun.
But she clearly doesn’t want to argue.
“But whatever. Let’s see how this plays out. I hope for the best!”
Trump, of course, announced his “policy proposal” just as he announces his other bad ideas — with his little orange thumbs.
“What I said was to look at the possibility of giving concealed guns to gun adept teachers with military or special training experience — only the best.”
His version of “best” is famously laughable — just look at the turnaround in the White House.
“20% of teachers, a lot, would now be able to.”
Trump then makes some weird sports analogies that perhaps golf players will understand. A real man of the people.
“I want highly trained people that have a natural talent, like hitting a baseball, or hitting a golf ball, or putting. How come some people always make the four-footer and some people under pressure can’t even take their club back, right? They can’t even take their club back.”
He seemed to lose himself on a sports tangent.
Briana did not mention that even highly trained marksmen are considered to be doing “very well” if they have 40% weapon accuracy in live fire simulations.
So even if teachers are having a shootout with some gunman, where are the other 60% of the bullets going?
Some of them are going into students.
Of course, Trump said that he wanted to take away guns, and then pivoted because he doesn’t actually know what he’s saying at any given time.
He now plans to meet with video game executives, because surely those violent video games are to blame, even though Canada and the UK and Australia all play the exact same games without the shootings.
Briana didn’t get into all of that. That’s okay — she’s a reality star, not a politician.
But even she knows that children don’t need to be around guns. Which is more than we can say for certain people.
