    Don’t let Republicans pretend they care about children while allowing them to get slaughtered in the classroom

    Disarming the working class will hurt those kids more in the long run than the risk of a school shooting.

    Strict gun control would be much more palatable if the police were demilitarized first, but the most vocal gun control advocates don’t talk about that.

    They might want “a discussion about racial sensitivity” or some other ineffective method of reforming the police, but never want to talk about power, class, and institutionalized violence in a meaningful way.
