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.
Something something metric system?
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.)
Do you have a link to this?
Source?
All of a sudden gun control sounds good to the fascists. Very very weird.
Fascists love gun restrictions
A number of gun restrictions were implemented to disarm minorities in America.
Yeah, Black Panthers with firearms was making law enforcement too uneasy.

I have seriously had arguments with conservatives that systemic racism isn’t an issue in this country. If anything, they feel that they are the victims. Pretty wild.
We know. But that Supreme Court pulled back the restrictions.
And they are now seemingly exploring ways to disarm trans folks
I think the gun rights belief. Will Trump the trans hate. But I’ve been wrong before.
Time will tell
Liberty for me, but not for thee
It’s always ever been an argument for themselves, white nationalists and fascists, to have the guns, and everyone who isn’t them to not have guns.
They only ever argued from a constitutional nature to bend liberals who value law and fairness and it’s worked incredibly well.
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.
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.
Or, you know, white disenfranchised boys? Not that they are all killers, but most mass shooters do come from that group
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.
why bother? can’t afford guns if they just leave veterans to die after discharge
I’m sure the 2nd amendment folks are making a big fuss about this, right? Right?!
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.
The GOP really don’t want their fellow chasers to get popped in self-defense when the trans panic sets in.
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.
meanwhile a shooting is likely happening right now by cis white male shooter #408
They absolutely love the second amendment, except when people they don’t like use it. (Same with all the other amendments, and the Constitution in general.)
Spoiler alert: they hate the Constitution.
Is that cognitive dissonance I smell?
That’s what happens before they get disappeared
Cool. Please waste your time with this. It won’t succeed and it will take away from other damaging things they can do.
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.
Yeah, no. This is how you get people to start buying guns in masse AND shooting at any cop that rings their door.
