Across the country, states require more training to prepare students and teachers for mass shootings than for those expected to protect them. The differences were clear in Uvalde, where children and officers waited on opposite sides of the door.
Same thing with gun nuts defending the country from tyranny. Turns out when tyranny shows up wearing a red cap, defending the constitution isn’t urgent.
I’m a “gun nut”. And if I see any red caps patrolling my voting place? Well, I’ll just take a quick trip to the truck and back. And then we shall have a chat about just exactly what the fuck they think they’re doing. If I have to stand there with a, “ALL are safe to vote here!” sign around my neck, I will do so. (That actually isn’t a bad idea!)
That ain’t bravado. I’d be scared shitless, shaking in my boots. But I know history, I’m old enough not to GAF and my little kids are young enough that I need to defend their future.
(As you might gather, I’m in a strange place for an American voter.)

Hey I’d stand with you. I haven’t held a gun in about 25 years, but I’d be there.
