Another school shooting, but Repub governors pushing for permitless concealed carry

Another school shooting.
And yet on Christmas morning in church, my mother's cousin and his wife would not look at or talk to me. Finally, the wife turned around and said they were upset with me because I wrote a letter to the editor about Republicans and guns and they are Republicans and concealed carry gun owners. I re-read the letter when I got home. It was not about individual Republicans or concealed carry gun owners. It was specifically about 4 Republican governors who are trying to pass permitless concealed carry laws and the law enforcement unions are suing to block the legislation because it will make their jobs more dangerous.
They ought to have to hide in a classroom with crying kids during active shooter drills when someone bangs loudly on the door, then unlocks it and tries to push the door open which is blocked by a filing cabinet. 😡

It’s them. They created this hell but we are forced to live in it. This country is being destroyed but not by us. And yes they care more about guns than our children.

So it is about ALL OF US.

We expected the Germans to stand up to Hitler.
And the Russians to stand up to Putin.

But we give ourselves a total pass.
