    Such a pointless waste of time with the only purpose being to ingratiate bigots with other bigots.

    So fucking stupid.

    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.

        Also the army can be sort of traumatizing for some reason. And the healthcare when they get back isn’t . . great.

      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.

          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.

          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?”

    Yeah, no. This is how you get people to start buying guns in masse AND shooting at any cop that rings their door.

    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.
