Best framing I've heard: Why aren't these resources available to prevent school shootings?

[newdeal2]

Trump will move heaven and earth to punish immigrants, including sending in federal troops, but do nothing to protect children from daily school shootings.

MAGA priorities.

[GiqueCee]

1. If MAGAts...

were to protect anyone, it would sully their reputation. To them, kindness, empathy, and generosity are weaknesses to be exploited, not virtues to be emulated. What would Dear Leader think if he saw one of them actually trying to be a decent human being? Why, he would flip the fuck OUT!
And to actually care about the welfare and safety of someone else's brats? C'mon! Get real. The welfare and safety of their gun rights ALWAYS takes precedence! Dead kids are just the price we have to pay for them to have an arsenal. Deal with it.

For the terminally obtuse:

[Cha]

2. Because Fascists are

Fucking gun crazy But not for preventing mass killings

Good idea, though 🕯️🕊️💙🌈🌊

[WhiskeyGrinder]

3. Because "increasing cop funding" and "hiring more agents" and "doubling the training budget" are things that politicians

of all stripes tend to agree on. Local, state and federal cops are the ones defunding our communities.

4. LAPD & LA County Sheriffs Dept know where the real bad guys are

But Trumps declared daily quotas for ICE and they can just round up anybody brown to make him happy. They sure as hell don't seem to be going where the real bad guys, real gangs, real drug runners are. On no, those guys have a lot of weapons and shoot back! Easier, faster, and a whole lot less dangerous to barge into churches, schools, court houses and places where peaceful day workers meet potential employers.

ICE is NOT going after all the 'rapists & murders' Trump kept mentioning to motivate barn blind MAGA voters.

[Initech]

5. Because our country is currently being run by sadistic sociopaths.

[Skittles]

6. gun humper coward logic

yup

[progressoid]

7. Yeah, makes sense to us. But if you listen to most media, you'll hear something completely different.

The right wing media machine is blathering on about protecting our freedom and supporting the police.

Never mind that their dear leader pardoned hundreds Jan 6th people.

[Trueblue Texan]

8. Yes! He responds to spitting with the National Guard.

We used to get detention hall for that! But an insurrection or mass murders...oh well. Let's pardon those convicted insurrectionists though!

[TNNurse]

9. I doubt that if one of his grandkids

Were killed in a school shooting he would care. But he would make a big fuss.
