You ever notice how safety is a luxury good in America?

When schools get shot up: we’re told to buy bulletproof backpacks.

When grocery stores are massacred: we’re told to keep shopping.

When Charlie Kirk, a political celebrity, is shot: suddenly the federal government magically discovers $58 million under the couch cushions to shield itself in steel and glass.

It’s not about solving the problem. It’s not about stopping political violence at its roots. It’s about protecting them from the very chaos they stoke in the rest of us.
