Last couple of weeks there was talk about the GOP coming after much more than Roe V Wade.
Well, at least one possible member of a state legislature is being honest:
Trump Endorsed Her. Now She Wants to Use State Power to ‘Crush’ the Left and Impose ‘God’s Moral Order’

The crux of the article:
Voris and Eubanks engaged in a lengthy discussion of politics and faith. “We see everything going on with Roe right now — the left becoming completely uncorked losing their minds,” Voris said. “They’re saying, ‘They’re coming after your gay marriage next. They’re coming after your birth control.'” He paused a beat before adding with a smile, “Well, you know what… yeah!”
---0---
The USA has been warned. This people will not stop just at Roe V Wade. With that majority in the SCOTUS, get ready for more. That was what ACB was put there for.

You say that as if it's a secret. Enough have said plainly that this is a first step. They've floated things about repealing gay marriage, repealing overall LGBTQ+ equal rights, criminalizing abortion, and banning interracial marriage to name a few. Repealing interracial marriage was the only one I've seen met with swift enough backlash to think they won't go down that route, at least anytime soon, as the ones that did say it out loud claimed they were misunderstood after they were called to task. But they aren't remotely being coy about their agenda.

Excellent point by Mr Barr.
It is the insane parts of US policies. They are so contradictory, and this is a very clear example.

The obvious:
These sort of events seldom happen in other developed countries. The sole example I can come up with are Dumblane, Port Arthur, and Utoeya. ALL those countries immediately implemented strict gun controls.
No such massacres have ever been committed in any country in S. America, to my knowledge. By these events, I mean a massacre on innocent children at a school.
Yet, the USA keeps accepting them. And never a change is proposed.

So, he basically took up the Sandy Hook playbook. Texas will pass more lenient gun laws in response to this, not more restrictions. For sure they'll be talking about arming teachers yet again. This is so exhausting, even more so because the GOP will pretend to care and then vote against preventing it at the first opportunity.

If there's an active shooter at my $60,000 a year elementary school, my procedure is this:
1. Quiet my students
2. Flip the flap next to the window on the unlock-able doors to my gym so the shooter can't see in.

That'll work, huh?

You lost me there, Owen. Was that what the murdered teacher did?
Sorry, I am not understanding.
