Since when are mass shooters assassinating political leaders?
What that have to do with the vast majority of mass shooters being right wing lunatics?
Well the thread and comment you replied to was about political assassinations, so what do mass shootings have to do with the conversation at all? You're not wrong, it's just irrelevant here.
The point is in current America, Right Wing followers are much, much more likely to enact violence. And they do. With the Right Wing leadership continuously giving arms manufacturers a pass despite almost weekly mass shootings, via Russian bribes funneled through the NRA, it's blatantly obvious they want their followers armed when they finally enact their Right Wing Theocratic Oligarchy. They'll just demonize who they want dead via Right Wing Media (Fox, OAN, NewsMax, Shapiro, Walsh, etc.,) and their perpetually frightened followers will make it happen.
Again, fuck Putin, and any of his Tankie fellators.
