I mean they've played a bit of a stupid game with this one

All the wacko gun nuts are on the right, just like the shooter

They've demonstrated that if a right wing gun nut shoots a high profile right wing personality, the establishment will blame & target left wing people whilst making excuses and "prayers" for the shooter.

Strategically speaking they have to be really really banking on that guy being the only crazy guy out there with a gun.

I'm ahead of the game. If you go far enough left you get your guns back.

Oh don't worry I'm aware there are armed responsible leftists

I've just not read of any going on an automatic rifle rampage against kids, so I assume the wackos are predominantly on the other side of the divide

Apologies, misread you. We got gun nuts like me on the left, but the whacko killers are on the right. And that doesn't seem so much an opinion, more of a fact that evidence backs up.

Had a conservative friend in 2019 or so. Brought up that right-wing violence was the FBI's #1 concern (at the time, on their website). He fucking exploded on me, never seen him so mad. "There go one now!"
