I think Kirk is actually being perfectly honest here about the right's view on mass shootings, that they are simply the "price we have to pay" for keeping the 2nd amendment.

I said before that the right should have long ago got up and said that those people who died i such shootings "died for a good cause" because tat's precisely and genuinely how they view it. These lives are a price to pay for having more guns. They know it. Charlie Kirk knows it and admits it and he's doing it for all of the right as well if I may be so presumptuous as to state that outright.

It was never about SOLVING the problem no, it was always about allowing status quo to continue, for more lives to be taken, because the 2nd amendment is sacrosanct, and it 's demand for blood and lives must be met.

And of course, this thread like many others before it, and possibly more so than most of them, deserves the stating of the true slogan that the right has adopted with guns:

BLOOD FOR THE GUN GODS!!!! CASH FOR THE NRA THRONE!!!

I can’t really even picture Charlie competently firing a gun.

They don't really plan to fight the military because they think (perhaps rightly) the military will be on their side. No, those hoards of military-grade weaponry are for killing liberals, Blacks, LGBTQ people, Muslims and Jews, and anyone who looks at them sideways.

Was that before or after the failed brain transplant?

I prefer to think of Teslas as a way to cull the wealthy white male population.

I'm still searching but I'm inclined to show up to raise some good trouble, per John Lewis, pbuh.

More guns cures gun violence in the same way more cancer cures cancer.

I looked at the Nashville Scene, Tennessee Holler, and a couple of other places, but I didn’t see anything that’s organized for tomorrow. Yes, it’s definitely Good Trouble time.

I'm in Canada, but if I was in your country, I would scrape together all the money I could and rent billboards with that on it maybe with some graphic graphic's.

We're never going to get to zero abortions, so I guess we can shitcan all those restrictions.

Thank you, MzNicky. It's time for good, non violent, good trouble. Perhaps it's best we all just show up and be present. I've got a 6 hour drive and I will likely get a speeding ticket or two on the 85 and 40. Me and Ms. Member will plan on sleeping in the back of of the Crosstrek unless we can find an affordable hotel room. Not sure where to go to be present, any suggestions?

Ohio Governor Bob Taft became the first sitting governor to be indicted for failing to report a golf trip on his disclosure forms. He appeared in court, pled No Contest, and got his hand slapped.

Mrs. DeSantis is a former TV news journalist. I believe those are called trophy wives?

I've been to gun shows. They check every gun coming in and make sure they're unloaded and inoperable the whole time they're inside.
