Issues with Abbott and Cruz and the GOP's one door and more guns strategy,

One door would then create an extreme fire hazard , causing even greater disasters. Their claims more armed guards would prevent these mass murder events , but they refuse to bring up this happens at church's, grocery stores, and many many other businesses , and places people gather at. Who'll foot the bill for this plan, we will, and a lot. Hardening targeted places will be vey costly, and there will still be flaws allowing attacks.

Trump, Cruz and Abbott and the GOP refuse background checks and assault weapons ban because the NRA has bribed them, and has them in their back pocket because of money, and maybe dark money from russia. Their position is anything to increase profits for the NRA, and why they try to incite fear into their followers by lying to them. Make no mistake they know their position profits over mass murders will enable more killings, but they continue to promote propaganda, and rhetoric to incite people with.

The only one door policy we desperately need for our country now is showing Republicans the door out of our government by voting these monsters out of office. Come November I'll remember. This carnage has to stop, period, and either the GOP changes, or we change them out for those that will help change gun policies.

Or will the kids not be allowed out at all.

I read a suggestion that parents should all have to go to the school and do an active shooter drill so they can see how terrifying it is.

This is utter madness.

At schools, and at their pickup and drop off sites.

I have a CPL but it's illegal for me to conceal carry in a school zone. However, the CPL makes it legal for me to open carry.

MI gun laws are quirky.

The Gun Free School Zones Act allows for exceptions and the above is an an example

The biggest problem our country has today is pretending that the Retrumplican Party is an entity that needs to be taken seriously.

When I get dogshit stuck in the grooves of my tennis shoes, I don't consider that it has any redeeming qualities, or purpose in being there. I just scrub it out with bleach and a stiff brush, or throw the shoes away.
