    This is a crucial point. You're going to hear a lot from GOP about need to "harden the target" (i.e. schools). But shooters are also already hardening themselves. So long as you don't control guns, it's an escalating arms racehttps://twitter.com/joshtpm/status/1529280135584788480 …

    Yeah, the pattern here is stunning/chilling. They didn't get the shooting done before the cops showed up. He fought his way into the building. Buffalo isn't exactly the same because I think the security guard engaged in the middle of the attack. But really same difference.

        Oh, they’ll do something, once it suits them. When the GOP decides to move on gun control is when we will all know they have decided to pounce on each and every Emmanuel Goldstein they’ve been othering for so many years. They want this bloodbath to justify the next.

        You here GOP saying we should arm teachers but we don’t even arm service members on military baes. Because base commanders realize it’s stupid.

        If you stop for one minute and think you have to make elementary schools armed fortresses, you have lost the fucking plot.

        I keep seeing folks mention their kids going through active shooter trainings and I'm like, um, didn't we also just train the active shooters what to expect! from their victims?

        If guns are too hallowed by the gun cult to do anything about, perhaps we could shift the discussion toward body armor. Make that illegal to own or put everyone who buys it on a registry. There’s even less argument to have it than the well-worn tropes for gun ownership.

        And as long as you have something like parity, the shooter has already decided he's going to die and he has the element of surprise. So that person always has the advantage unless the cops have a big advantage.

        The good guy with a gun won't always stop the bad guy with body armor.
