If Republicans treated an attempt on Donald Trump's life at a golf course like they do mass murders in schools:

"We have to live with it. It's a fact of life."
"Golf courses need fewer exits."
"Was the shooter bullied?"
"We need to arm caddies."
"Golfers need bullet-proof golf bags."
"Cops patrolling every golf course!"
"Maybe more shooter drills on golf courses would help?"
"Were the 10 commandments displayed at the course?"

#VoteBlue for sensible solutions to gun violence.

@augieray I wish parents had to come and participate in our shooter/lockdown drills to hear the uncomfortable questions and comments our kids make.

“Can’t they just shoot through the door?”
“Wouldn’t they just shoot out the window and come through?”
“But the knife drawer in the staff lounge is locked. What if no teachers are there with a key?”
“I don’t trust those door stop things. Why don’t the doors have real locks?”
“If this really happens, I’ll just distract them so everyone can run out.”

People really don’t know what these drills are like to go through until they experience it firsthand.

@athena_rising @augieray

I'm in Canada and I was annoyed enough that my kids have to do a lock down drill (it's nothing like an active shooter drill from what I understand).

At least once a year, they do lockdown a school here though (hasn't happened to ours) because of something or other so I get why they do it, but it's scary enough.

My mind can't even comprehend what a regular shooter drill does to a child, even if a shooting doesn't happen at their school.

@athena_rising making me appreciate how fortunate I am to live where I do and it’s just fire drills our kids have to do 😞
@staustellsimon And I sincerely hope it stays that way where you are. 🩷
@athena_rising knifes are starting to become an issue in secondary schools now which is scary
@staustellsimon Absolutely. I’m sorry that’s happening.
@augieray You got it down to a tee!
@augieray it's telling how little the public cares now, we've been so desensitized to gun violence that its been barely a blip on the radar. Two attempts on the same president would have been major, major news 10-20 years ago.

@augieray Turn the bunkers on the course into machine-gun nests… By 2A fanatic standards, it is because golf courses aren’t fortified that they are targeted by gun “enthusiasts”.

Speaking of 10 commandments - I think every gun should be inscribed with the one about not killing, right there where it can’t be missed ;^)

@augieray The golf course just has to hire a resource officer and put better locks on the front doors. There! Problem solved!
@augieray Now is not the time to talk about crazy Republicans shooting at Republicans!
@augieray Monitor carefully anyone wearing argyle socks!

@augieray I've seen someone on social media suggest that a Democratic congressperson should put forth a "Protect Donald Trump" firearm bill to see if the GQP will support it or decide his life isn't important enough.

I humbly propose someone draft the Targeted Republicans by Unhealthy Malicious Predators Act.

@augieray #ThoughtsAndPrayers but of course it was obvious that it was another staged assassination attempt. #JPVance himself said they would create stories to get media attention. And in fact, they succeeded! No more talk about the Supreme Court leaked emails. #SoEasilyManipulated. Or trump‘s insane comments about young girls being raped and sodomized. All eyes are on the assassination attempt. #Success.
@augieray brilliant! I think you captured it perfectly. What is sadly common-place at Schools is an outrage on the golf course
@augieray
This was an attempted post-birth abortion. Nothing to get excited about.
@augieray pretty sure Vance said that attempts like that are just facts of life.
@augieray Golf courses exist for the wealthy because they're defensible spaces, as demonstrated, and they allow wealthy people to exchange insider trading information with each other and with politicians they favor, with no paper trail or accountability.
@augieray Well, I mean...if the cops themselves treated the two as the same and worthy the same level of protection we'd either not have a Trump anymore or we'd have a lot less dead kids. Cause they jumped on that shit fast as lighting and this one didn't even get a shot off...they didn't sit there and wait while Trump begged and cried for 20+ minutes and then got shot.
@augieray metal detectors before entry in every golf course
@augieray @kelvin0mql What are the odds that I JUST scraped this GIF together last week?
