      This is what the pro gun movement has given us.

      More guns, more gun deaths.

      I hold the entire movement responsible.

      There is no body count high enough to change their minds.

        Self fulfilling prophecy, it’s getting to the point where the high body count is the reason to always have a gun.

        It doesn’t have to make sense if it feels good

        Why not put blame in the hands of pundits who spread the White Supremacist theories that grip these shooters? Why not at the hands of the forums that platform this radicalization? The TV networks that promote it? The gun manufacturers that are willing to profit off of our fears?

            Sorta… tucker carlson was more wealthy and platformed by the wealthy, and has now for years perfected his fascist brainrotting rhetoric. If no one listened to him, he would just try new tactics until they did.

        The only people who want this are the most fascist politicians like Marjorie Taylor Greene. and pundit Tucker Carlson. Stochastic terrorism is a very niche career! But I can excuse other American voters from reaponsibility for this shit, yeah.

              You didn’t even use the word “gun”, and then just called them racist.

              So you want people to just ignore the hateful stuff you actually write and imagine some other meaning?
