Can't they just sell one of those sound-weapon equipped tanks from the NYPD to cover the entire library budget?

[–] grue@lemmy.world 107 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The fascists don't want to. They love weapons and hate books.

[–] MeDuViNoX@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 months ago

Can't we just fill the libraries with more books about weapons to increase the funding? 🤔

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 49 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Sell it to whom? They're the only buyers.

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 59 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Idk, Uvalde police might need it to cover up childrens' screaming next time.

[–] MiltownClowns@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago

Why do that when the news will do it for you?

[–] OneOrTheOtherDontAskMe@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

FUCK that got dark. Christ, I gotta go find religion after that one

[–] ASeriesOfPoorChoices@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

check public schools for that, now.

[–] Speculater@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Sell it to the library? Wait.

I mean, I'm more okay with heavily arming librarians than heavily arming cops I guess?

[–] HaveYouPaidYourDues@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I'd watch that show

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 4 months ago

I'd play the game. Play as a librarian in a library under siege by cops. Traps activated by pulling the right books.

The Librarians?

I don't remember Eve being heavily armed, if we could give her the gun Vasquez from aliens had, I'd be a happy camper.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago

Pretty sure the only guns Eve carried were her own biceps but she'd make use of anything available. Flynn and Jenkins have both wielded Excalibur. Ezekiel would rather use evasion but has been known to steal a weapon. Mild-mannered historian Jacob knows how to use weapons of any age and besides we all know him from Leverage. Cassandra has non-weapon skills but she's been known to bonk a baddie on the back of the noggin.

Yes, but they don't want to.
