Of course most everyone is beside themselves on this. But "MAGA pain"......come on.
Republicans are despicable on this issue but so are almost all politicians. Security in schools should be started yesterday. TSA was created quickly with how many billions for a budget? This country can mobilize if it fucking feels like it. We choose to sit on our ass, so I get your anger but it should be directed at everyone IMO.
Security......what does that look like? Arming teachers.....fuck no. Are we covering public and private schools with this funding? I say yes, these are our children damnit. Trained, armed security I'm good with. It doesn't have to be GI Joe at every door, hell you wouldn't even need to know the guy asking questions and buzzing people through locked doors was carrying. Give the schools the protections they need.....capable doors, cameras, trained personnel vetting entry.
I'm for gun restrictions, have we seen something that makes complete sense there? Probably not. 18 year olds shouldn't be able buy ARs, they can't buy beer for good reasons. Lots of freedoms have restrictions, the second amendment can have some. Why can't we have certain rights with certain levels? I can't buy a nuclear bomb, some things are obvious but here we sit. Abbott spouting off the typical rhetoric is useless, I don't give a shit that "it's been the law for 60 years" in regards to being able to purchase at 18. Things change and they should. Protecting our children in school is the key part of this for me but obviously that doesn't solve all of the mass shootings.
