Republican Congressman Blames Mass Shootings on Women Having Rights
In a sane country that actually valued human lives, last week’s mass shooting in Texas—or, the one before that in Buffalo, or thousands before that in the years prior—would have marked the moment the elected officials who’ve refused to pass gun control legislation looked in the mirror and decided to stop being part of the problem.
Unfortunately, the U. S. is not a sane country, and instead of actually doing something to prevent these atrocities from occurring all the time—in case you missed it, there have been 17 mass shootings since Uvalde, Texas—Republicans have launched a competition in which they duke it out to see who can come up with the most ridiculous thing to blame mass shootings on besides guns. So far, that’s included too many doors; not enough God; pot; single moms; unarmed teachers; and schools being designed without “trip wires” and “man traps.”
