Justice Amy Coney Barrett says she "didn't know how to explain to her child that she has to wear a bullet proof vest to work." As a parent myself, here's my suggestion of what to say:
"Mommy is one of the 9 most powerful judges in America, and at every chance to help protect meaningful gun safety legislation, I've chosen the extremely reckless and stupid decision of expanding gun access, even to violent sociopaths, thus putting your and my life in abject danger—but that's the price of freedom."
