I assume that in general, blue states have stricter gun laws. With the current political situation, that puts them at a disadvantage. Maybe they should consider pausing some of the laws. Maybe even sponsor weapons training. They could mix in lots of gun safety lessons at the same time. Subsidize trigger locks and that sort of thing too.
I believe that blue states should activate and build their state guards.
I think that should be on the table also. Though maybe a touch early for it. They need to do that in response to something so it doesn’t look like they are the ones escalating.
