        Depressing that “transphobe who at least pretends to want to do something about mass shootings” really is the lesser of two evils. The bar is in hell.

          Considering the root cause of mass shootings is fascist indoctrination that turns the hopelessness of capitalist alienation into self-actualization through random violence and so mass shootings are actively caused by fascist propagandists like Kirk that Newsom liked to pall around with, he also doesn’t want to do that. He wants guns to be slightly more expensive or not as spooky looking, which obviously does not impact the lethality of the comfortable middle class failsons crashing out and wanting to take others with them so they can pretend to be big strong warriors as they die.

    Conservatives view mass shootings as a natural disaster. Even the ones who’s own family members die in them rarely change their views, it’s just a fact of Settler Colonialism nature that this happens cuz people must have guns but sometimes people with guns shoot up schools.
