Prob just drunk but this hits home. I have some dumbass people I care about who boast about the gun freedoms of Texas while having children that are the same age as the children in the Uvalde shooting.
The Uvalde shooting was 22/28 school shooting deaths in all of 2022 and was primarily a story of police incompetence. School shootings are incredibly rare events.
You're not supposed to say out loud that you care more about your guns than children, but your dumbass is parading it all over this post.
I care about children which is why I won't support disarming people. I believe far more lives are saved and we have a much higher quality of life because of citizen owned firearms and this greatly outweighs the impact of the negatives of firearms including school shootings. Also I don't believe children should be terrorized for political reasons.
