    Shooter: raised, indoctrinated, radicalized, and deployed by the GOP.

    Libs: We need to ban guns!

      I would do anything to live in the timeline where we ban the GOP and politically disenfranchise chuds creating an opening for a pro gun socialist party to take its place in the 2 party system but that shit will never happen

    "Anderson Lee Aldrich Was Previously Involved in a Standoff Following a Bomb Threat" It always boggles my mind how the fuck in the US someone like this could legally own a firearm. I get it, he was a grandson of a GOP politician, but still goddammn. Are there any laws for the wealthy and powerfull? At least in communist China he would get a trial and probably a death sentence. This motherfucker wasn't event prosecuted for the bomb threat.

      gun show loophole, unscrupulous gun shop owners not conducting a background check, the background check database itself being woefully underfilled

      You dont need a permit in most states. You dont need to take a test. And you can buy as many as you want in one go.

      it is comically easy to get a gun, a criminal record is simply not much of a deterrent

      All I'm saying is that if you're going to do counter-insurgency then you might as well admit there's no humane method and take it seriously.

      Sins of the father is silly, but recognizing that we are products of nurture is a necessity

    I think it's most likely this was just a case of grandpoppy making a call to the local sheriff or whatever, but I am absolutely not counting out the possibility that he was recruited by the police. These Christian freaks want us all dead.

      Reminds me of Robert Crimo's antisemitic shooting spree just a few months ago. His dad was some local failed chud politician as well if I recall
