After School Shooting, Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick Boldly Suggests… Door Control

Here’s all the shit we couldn’t cover today:

• Republicans, who have so far sought to address school shootings by offering prayers, arming teachers, equipping students with clear backpacks, and increasing security at schools, now have another strategy: limit the number of entryways (what Jezebel senior editor Joanna Rothkopf dubbed “door control”). In the wake of the school shooting outside Houston, Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, a staunch opponent of gun control, offered this: “Maybe we need to look at limiting the entrances and exits into our schools.” Then he went all-in with this very bad solution, which is also a serious fire hazard: “Had there been one single entrance possibly for every student, maybe he would have been stopped.” It’s amazing, and sad, how far Republicans will go to avoid addressing gun control.
