Love the Federalist. Great title.
Nope, Shadowlands1960. You cannot assure the truthfulness of your statement. There is no empirical way you can be assured, to any degree, that comparable ‘bravery’ would have rsulted in fewer deaths in Uvalde. You clearly want to believe that. But..you CANNOT assure that.
I know that is NOT what conservatives want to hear. BUT...it is true.
You gain nothing by conflating the details of one incident with the details of another.
Suffice to say...based on popular perception, the response in Nashville was more aggressive than that in Uvalde.
