If the attempted assassination of their presidential candidate wasn’t a wake-up call for Republican gun extremists, then losing this election needs to be
Thanks, as always, Shannon, for your clear insights into the actual problem. My thoughts on the Sunday morning after it happened were guided by your wisdom over the years: if that guy didn't have that gun, we'd all have a little more peace.
Excellent, very rational piece. At the very least our politicians should want to curtail 'open carry', especially during public events. It would at least give security personnel half a chance.
Thank you for this very informative piece Shannon.
Is there any legitimate reason why anyone should be allowed to carry an assault rifle in public! This is simply used to intimidate law abiding citizens.
I will vote Biden and Blue up and down the Ballot till every Republican that participated in helping Trump attain power or kept silent is out of office permanently.
Thank you for stating what is clear for everyone out outside the GOP/Gun Lobby to see. Our Republican House. Senate, and Governor need to wake up from their deep sleep. I wish you could have seen the glaze that covers their eyes when you testify in front of the Texas legislature against dangerous gun bills with data to back your position on the issues. Their rhetoric and legislative permissiveness regarding easing access to guns at every legislative session means they own this epidemic.
Exquisite, elegant, smart, thoughtful – I only wish the rest of the world could think rationally like you. Thank you for all you continue to do, Shannon! xx
It's so painfully obvious that it's the fucking guns. It's like some mental illness that prevents these gun nuts from seeing that. Some failure of mental faculty. Some missing piece of logic and reasoning. I don't know how this can be fixed when half of America thinks this is fine.
I believe it’s safe to assume that his tight grip on agents who are carrying him out means he was too frail to walk and that means he was most likely and probably literally scared shitless.
Shannon Watts, America needs you now more than ever!
Great article. The absurdity is clear and appalling.
Shannon, we need you back please.

Beautifully put. It's insane. The aliens are not impressed.
ALL. OF THIS.

I think most of the rest of the world does think like Shannon. It's just half of America that doesn't.
You are a superstar! Thank you every single day, Shannon.
So true. Thanks for writing.

Thank you for putting a these words out to the world!!
