President Trump said Thursday a shooting at Florida State University that killed two people was “terrible” and a “shame,” but suggested he’s unlikely to back any new gun control measures — saying he’s a “big advocate of the Second Amendment.”
Why am I not surprised?
Most terrorist attacks. And the ones that aren’t done by white men are done by other homophobic, sexist, racist reactionaries. The number of mass shootings and terrorist attacks where the perpetrator was legitimately mentally ill can be counted on one hand. The number of leftwing terrorist attacks, including ecoterrorism, is non-existent.
You have to go back to the Troubles or the Red Army Faction in order to find innocent people getting killed by leftist terrorism. Otherwise, most leftwing terrorist attacks are done against people who are either themselves armed or part of something heinous. Reactionaries seem to prefer innocent, unarmed people. They even try to kill other reactionaries for not believing in the same antisemitic conspiracy theories, like Trump is a clone and the real Trump is being held hostage at a Pizza Hut in Arkansas.
And like you say, gun laws never do anything to stop these people. They either change methods (such as running people over with cars, bombs, knife attacks, etc.) or they find a way around the law to acquire firearms legally. People are being deported for saying less, killed by police for going to work, and these fuckwads are allowed to plan the next mass killing.
Thank you. Whatever the solutions are, I guarantee they’re not going to happen in this administration. At least we have thoughts and prayers!
