    but allowing hand guns…

    On Monday, the Tennessee House voted on allowing the pieces of paper along partisan lines. Democrats argued they were harmless, and questioned if guns could be brought into Cordell Hull, why couldn’t the signage.

        All you need for a bad-guy with a piece of paper, is a good guy with a piece of paper.
        Wait, that’s wrong…
        All you need for a bad-guy with a piece of paper, is a good guy with a gun.

        ~~You need a hero with a piece of paper to save everyone. ~~

        Whoops. @ negativenull beat me to it and the app I’m on doesn’t appear to have strikethrough. Apologies.

          Strikethrough is just surrounding your text with ~~ on either side, touching non-whitespace characters.

          ~~Like this.~~ looks Like this.

      What would happen if they had the paper but also had guns. Or black people with guns? Or socialists with guns?

      How would their opinions change?

        They would have been shot on sight by the brave troopers (who actually showed up and took action this time, which is a nice change) who escorted everyone out the door.
