I abhor violence and I don’t want this to ever be considered normal or acceptable. Once again, we need actual gun regulation in this country.
That being said, fuck that guy in particular. He, his ideology, and the causes he advocates for are monstrous and no amount of violence against him should be used to wash any of that away. Make no mistake, his political ideology has helped build the society that is making this kind of horror more commonplace. Let’s not forget, the society that HE is helping to build is largely accepting of gun violence toward children, not to mention many others.
Once again, we need actual gun regulation in this country.
Not according to Kirk. This is the exact kind of violence Kirk themselves advocated for as being “acceptable”.
So in a sense his activism was “complete”, in that he was rewarded with precisely the kind of thing he spent literally decades arguing should be the case.
This fucker was lying about trans people, saying they are more likely than white men to commit mass shootings, right before he was shot.
He was perpetrating politcal violence against a marginalized minority when political violence silenced him. I don’t think this is a good situation (overall as a nation and a society) but this is very much a live by the sword die by the sword moment.
It’s funny that violence is fine when the US government is assassinating an iranian general., but is abhorent and deplorable when someone assassinates a propagandist who helped destroy american democracy. It’s like the US has a standard, but it’s like, doubled in some way…
Once again, we need actual gun regulation in this country.
Hard disagree. We have plenty of gun regulation. Too much, in fact.
And Trump just said he wants to disarm all Trans folks, so they’re all easier to victimize because of one person. You want more of that? You know who else was in favor of gun control? That’s right.
What we need more than “actual gun regulation” is “actual universal healthcare including mental healthcare”.
You know already, I’m sure, that most gun deaths in the USA each year are from suicide. (gunviolencearchive.org)
Imagine if you gave a shit about that statistic. Now keep imagining that either or both political parties did too. (Stop laughing!) Because however hard you ban guns, all those people still want to die. Imagine fixing that, instead of worrying about whether or not honest people deserve to be able to defend themselves. (Because as it turns out, murderers don’t care about the law, google Abe Japan for an example of that.)
Gun bans won’t stop attacks like today. They’ll stop normal people from defending themselves, and that’s it.

Ahh, so it’s Charlie’s fault for not being armed on the stage and shooting the bad guy first. Got it. And that’s how you want to live. That’s how, after seeing a human being probably die in front of all of us in an act of cowardly violence, you think things should work. Awesome. Got it. Great.

Just think he died with a lie on his lips. Its okay though because he has asked the sky wizard to forgive him for all his sins.
I don’t think he had time to ask for forgiveness for that last sin at least
No they do it so generically in the theatre errr church. So I’m sure his type would word it proactively.
I don’t abhor it. It’s the only language some people understand and we’ve been placated and lied to since forever that “it doesn’t solve anything”
If it doesn’t solve anything then why do we have armies?

They aren’t against violence. They just want a monopoly on it.
audible gasp
In the end, all laws are enforced by gun.

An American thinks you have to much gun laws. You guys are fucking stupid.
