    Default Please stop asking me to address gun violence, I'm busy banning books

    Hello, I’m a Republican lawmaker, and while I’m heartbroken over Monday’s horrific elementary school shooting in Nashville, I’d appreciate it if people would stop asking me to do something to prevent such tragedies from happening again.

    I’m a busy person, and there are many important issues I and my colleagues are addressing in our quest to make the world a safe place for children. For example, books. They are often bad. Lawmakers like myself at the local, state and federal level are doing everything we can to make sure dangerous books don’t wind up in the hands of children.

    Let’s get our priorities straight, shall we?

    I have colleagues in Missouri who, right now, are bravely working to defund the state’s public libraries, known repositories of potentially deadly (if a bookshelf falls on you) books.


    Then there are drag shows, which have not technically “killed” or “injured” or “harmed in any way” a single person, but they pose an obvious existential threat because I want to be quoted on Fox News.

    We must protect our kids from drag performances, which is why Republican lawmakers in Tennessee recently banned them in public places and anywhere children might be present.

    Guns will not harm school kids, but reading the wrong books will.

    All part of the GOP’s woke wars, pretty funny, centering on a word they can’t even define. Sells on Fox and with the primary voting base
