Today's Opinions   Monday, July 18 All these good guys had guns and it didn't matter Good evening. Let's take a look at some NRA math and the columns you miss from the weekend. Have you seen the video? Have you wondered why so many officers with so many guns managed to fail so many students? Today's top newsletter column gets into the math of gun violence.  Nearly 400 'good guys with guns' couldn't stop one bad guy By Rex Huppke  A report on the Uvalde school shooting released over the weekend left some questioning the accuracy of the National Rifle Association's long-standing mathematical equation: "The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun." Surveillance video show authorities stage in a hallway as they respond to the shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, on May 24, 2022. Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District via the Austin American-Statesman The Texas House committee report on the shooting that left 19 children and two teachers dead found that nearly 400 law enforcement officers were on the scene but failed to halt the slaughter. The Texas Tribune referred to the size of the police presence at Robb Elementary School as "a force larger than the garrison that defended the Alamo." And yet, this collection of good guys with guns failed to stop one bad guy with a gun before he murdered 21 people. Columns you don't want to miss  • President Joe Biden and others who seem to believe it's appropriate to consider releasing Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout from prison in exchange for any American citizen wrongfully detained by Russia as a political bargaining chip – whether Brittney Griner, Paul Whelan or someone else – are misguided and naive. • Call me a prude, but I have never liked sex scenes in movies. I find them awkward when I watch them by myself or with anyone else. Here are some reasons why Hollywood should cut out the sex scenes in more movies. • As Americans in every state scramble to understand how the overturning of Roe v. Wade impacts access to reproductive health care, one thing has become clear: The federal government needs to temporarily ban sex. Here's what happens to a victimized child when the singular focus is on saving babies By Connie Schultz  Hello from Ohio, where the same Republicans who insist that every pregnancy must result in the birth of a child tried to pretend a 10-year-old child who was raped did not exist. In her time of greatest need – she was pregnant and needed an abortion – they were nowhere to be found. How easy it must be to abandon children you refuse to see. After President Joe Biden publicly expressed outrage over her tragedy, Republicans and far-right media outlets began attacking media coverage and questioned the child's existence. This is not just an Ohio problem, but this is where I live, and the ensuing attacks here on this child illustrate the depths of malevolence the U.S. Supreme Court has unleashed on this country with the reversal of Roe v. Wade. Discover more with our newsletters: Get the latest headlines, things to do and more in your inbox. Sign up here.   FOLLOW US Problem viewing email?
