Permitting Texans to bring guns to the polls would increase the risk of violence in a state where election workers are already worried about their physical safety. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Yeah because carrying a gun wherever you go is the most important thing to an American. At least to the small dick ones. I can say if I was a poll worker, I would be carrying one too.

Have a Democrat sitting outside the poll with an entire armory. If a Dem voter needs one, let them borrow it to walk into the polls then return it when they leave. There are NO laws that only allow Republicans to buy guns. Those dumbasses haven't figured that out yet.

The 2nd Amendment is a right found in the Constitution. Along with other Amendments, Articles and Rights enshrined in the Constitution that this SCOTUS has taken away, opined against or ruled against. I don’t really think SCOTUS has any problem ruling against any part of the Constitution.

The goal of arming ourselves isn't to start a fight but to protect ourselves and keep the fascist at bay. It would be in the best interest of the Democratic party to become more militant in order to protect democracy. There needs to be a show of force because Trump is nothing but a bully.
