The Gun Control Thread

New laws, terrible shootings, the financial woes of the NRA, etc. - have at it.

Oh hey, a white teenage punk named [CLEARLY WHITE ASSHOLE NAME] killed 13 people in Buffalo and surrendered into custody.

Asshole. Racist, bitching about "replacement theory" ASSHOLE.

He'll get community service. He's a nice boy, dontchaknow?

Yet there are ass hats on Twitter saying that because he calls himself left wing, this is all the Democrats' fault.

Oh of course they are. Political affiliations are all they see and not the murderous racism that has left so many innocent people dead.

That's willful gaslighting on the right's part. The "Great Replacement" conspiracy theory isn't a leftist or Democratic Party hobby horse. It's all theirs.

I'm also seeing "Where was the outrage when a guy who liked Rachel Maddow shot Steve Scalise, huh?!?!"  Um, yeah, Maddow wasn't on her show every night banging away with racist manifestos designed at agitate her base.

There was a shooting just less than half a mile away from where I live, at a Presbyterian Church. I was still at work in Newport Coast at the time it happened. Luckily, the folks at that church were able to apprehend him and hogtie him with cable wire. Unfortunately one died.

This is a place that I go to all the time for when they hold polls for Election Day.

Gah, these asshole gunmen.

Also, don't fuck with Presbyterians, it would seem.

Texas. Bleargh.
