Such a pointless waste of time with the only purpose being to ingratiate bigots with other bigots.
So fucking stupid.
Is that cognitive dissonance I smell?
Well if we are able to get out of this shitshow and get competent people in charge again maybe we can use whatever loophole they use for this to enact some actual gun regulations.
Sorry, you see Harris loved the genocide so much she had to be defeated, meaning that trump is dictator for life, at least until they do some paperwork so Peter Theil can be dictator for life. Also the genocide got much worse and there’s no sign of it stopping which probably wasn’t Harris’ plan but we’ll never know.
And anyway the whole thing’s moot - by the time the midterms roll around in just about a year, we’ll have some other GRU talking point seeded around the interwebs to divide the left.
Using actual bigotry to get what you want politically is bad regardless of how “good” your political objective is.
The article claims the perpetrator was trans. They conveniently left out that they detransitioned and fell into nazi and fascist ideology.
I figured some inconvenient truths were found about the shooter, which is why no one seems to want to run stories about it
I’ve seen more stories today about this single ex trans person than all other shooters combined this year.
It’s being covered a lot right now.
The venn diagram of mass shooters is like 95% overlap with nazi ideology and the mass media is like “how about we just cover the 5% that makes conservatives feel upset”
So guess they should also ban all white cis males from owning guns too? I mesn after all those types have done a lot of school shootings.
‘No Way to Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens
Other countries have figured this out. I don’t see why America has to be different.
Have you been to Florida?
I’m de facto banned from Florida on account of being trans.
Ah. Well, it explains a few things. (Florida does, that is. To your question.)
Something something metric system?
Do you have a link to this?
Source?
Meanwhile, and I note this as a veteran of the Iraq war myself, 28.5% of mass shooters had a military background, but they’re not coming after veterans for THEIR guns.
Well yeah, they have guns and know how to use them.
Also the army can be sort of traumatizing for some reason. And the healthcare when they get back isn’t . . great.
And they’re making it worse. Because remember the republican party fucking hates Vetran’s even if they say otherwise.
why bother? can’t afford guns if they just leave veterans to die after discharge
Or, you know, white disenfranchised boys? Not that they are all killers, but most mass shooters do come from that group
only 7.4% of americans serve in the military. while i know that’s not how statistics work, it seems to be a significant marker. like, i know more than a few former marines who like to talk about luring people onto gold mines because they think then it’s somehow legal to murder them.
Can you explain the gold mine “logic”? Ive never heard that one
i honestly think they just think if they’re underground no one will hear the shot and the legality has something to do with mining law. it’s sovcit bullshit.
Well you see I impaled them with a flag that has gold frill, so its actually under maritime law and since you arent a boat you cant arrest me, officer. 🤡
I didn’t murder them, I unlifed them officer. that’s accredited. you’re accredited to unlife people in gold mines yes sir. I’m not in trouble a little bit. i’m bona fide.
From my understanding, gold mines (doesn’t even have to be a mine, just a gold claim of any type) have certain legal exemptions for trespassing from the olden days. At least in most areas that I’m aware of. It’s basically the Castle Doctrine but can be applied if it seems like another person is even attempting to visit your claim. Not much room for concerns of “what happened?” when the only question that needs answered is “were they there?”
Oh it being antiquated law makes a ton of sense for the sov cit idiocy
Yeah, no. This is how you get people to start buying guns in masse AND shooting at any cop that rings their door.
Stop! I can only get so erect.
I’m sure the 2nd amendment folks are making a big fuss about this, right? Right?!
Told you all over and over to arm up before it’s too late, hope at least some of you listened and not everyone was reflexively, performatively aghast at the idea of owning a tool of death.
Right. Because trans people have equal rights, just not quite as equal as others. Maybe like 3/5 equal. And you need that extra 2/5 to be covered under the Bill of Rights.
You can tell the GOP’s role model is Hitler with all the plans they have.
You can’t have a good fascist country without minority groups to oppress and blame everything on. Especially when republicans are responsible for most of the crimes the administration complains about.
It’s likely Hitler’s role models were the white supremacists of America. The Heritage Foundation has roots that trace back much further than Hitler and Nazi Germany, and Hitler himself had material regarding the effectiveness of Jim Crow laws.
The Heritage Foundation also clearly has applied lessons learned from Nazi Germany - outright executions are going to get you lots of resistance, where as disease, policy driven famine, and political violence can kill a large number without ever becoming too unpopular. Interestingly, this may be the reason they push so hard for controlling all media and social media platforms.
That’s what happens before they get disappeared
The GOP really don’t want their fellow chasers to get popped in self-defense when the trans panic sets in.
Cool. Please waste your time with this. It won’t succeed and it will take away from other damaging things they can do.
Where’s NRA? Is this not an erosion of what they are fighting for?
Sure, Putin’s slush fund is going to argue with Putin’s puppet. HA
As someone who thinks the Second Amendment SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED every Time it’s used to MURDER CHILDREN I FULLY SUPPORT this Idea to Save The Children!
