I just learned we don't let let crazy people with guns into the White House, Congress, or SCOTUS

I'm trying very hard to understand this

Being surrounded by crazy people with guns is one of the freedoms we celebrate in this country: it has made America great

But while we enjoy this benefit in the heartland, the President, the Representatives and Senators, and the Supreme Court Justices are somehow deprived of the same blessing

So, while they regularly offer us their thoughts and prayers, it seems we do not often have the opportunity to offer them ours

It really doesn't seem right

But this oversight should be simple enough to fix: Congress only needs to pass another bill allowing even more crazy people to get even more guns and to go even more places with their guns, and then the President only needs to sign it

Easy peasy! They ought to be able to do that in their sleep
