Can't they just sell one of those sound-weapon equipped tanks from the NYPD to cover the entire library budget?
The fascists don't want to. They love weapons and hate books.
Can't we just fill the libraries with more books about weapons to increase the funding? 🤔
Sell it to whom? They're the only buyers.
Idk, Uvalde police might need it to cover up childrens' screaming next time.
Why do that when the news will do it for you?
FUCK that got dark. Christ, I gotta go find religion after that one
check public schools for that, now.
Sell it to the library? Wait.
I mean, I'm more okay with heavily arming librarians than heavily arming cops I guess?
I'd watch that show
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.
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.
I'd play the game. Play as a librarian in a library under siege by cops. Traps activated by pulling the right books.
Yes, but they don't want to.
