So let me get this straight: Republican legislators want to arm teachers to protect students from school shooters, but don't want teachers to wear masks to protect students from a deadly virus?

1. We have confirmed the GOP doesn't care about lives, they just push their political agenda.

Children dying are not on their list of interests.

[Hugin]

3. Sandy Hook pretty much proved it...

Guns in the hands of the mentally unstable outweigh the lives of young children... To the Republicans.

4. 6 yr olds shot to pieces, literally, as they sat in their classroom. GOP didn't care at all.

Yep, that was the turning point in terms of revealing GOP depravity and sociopathy.

[Jon King]

6. And then they deny it ever happened.

Some evil people, dared to tell the parents of the dead kids they were part of a government plot.

[Irish_Dem]

8. So many layers of evil on full display.

here has to be a special place in hell for these cowards.

[calimary]

14. And let's not forget they're the "pro-life" party.

[Arkansas Granny]

17. I cringe every time I hear them make that claim.

2. And don't forget for the kids........

bullet-proof backpacks are OK - but no masks!

[C_U_L8R]

5. Just follow the money

[NickB79]

7. They're still working on tiny guns to shoot COVID out of the air

Swords are more manly than shields, ya know.

[Rebl2]

9. Yep

You got that right

10. Spot on! n/t

11. I love how Robert Reich thinks

[wnylib]

12. Severely twisted values and priorities.

[Lonestarblue]

13. We obviously need to give Republicans stock in the mask producers.

Then they might support mask wearing to increase profits and their stock value.

[Upthevibe]

15. Kick....n/t

16. GOPers are ambivalent toward death and public health, EXCEPT

when they upset their donors.

The Catholics and fundies get anti-abortion laws because Catholics are donors to the GOP.

Because Trumpers are all macho-ed up and want to own the libs, they refuse to come down on the side of public health and safety. Apparently, they think that public health and safety is a Democratic Party platform item that attacks the Trumpers and the GOP. They don't want to read the Preamble to the US Constitution. You know, the thing about "promoting the general welfare."
