Quote of the Day (Mike Kelly, on a Consequence of Political Violence)

“[T]wo years ago… I reported that more than 75 members of Congress routinely wore bulletproof vests to public events. America took the news in stride. So did most of our public officials. Wearing a bulletproof vest is somewhat akin to wearing an American flag pin on your lapel.”—Columnist Mike Kelly, “After Shooting, Can Americans Stop Accepting Gun Violence?”, The Record (Bergen County, NJ), July 15, 2024
