No, then they will just open fire indiscriminately.

Sorry, I am in a very pessimistic mood lately. Things seemed to be looking up a bit there, but ever since the Roe v Wade retrogression, I have given up trying to be positive

Ironically, the decision in Dobbs gave me hope that with the GOP’s plans for women out in the open it will motivate Democrats to go to the polls and fight for their rights. The scenes of southern cops brutalizing protestors in the South horrified the country in the sixties and led to passage of key civil rights legislation. If the cops brutally suppress peaceful protestors it could galvanize the country to defeat the fascists. In 2025 I’ll turn 62; and I’ll be ready to lay down my life if I have to so my children can live in a democracy.
