It proves that guns will make them shut up.
Come on, exercise your free speech.
Guns will also make libs shut up. This isn't a good thing
They've been doing that for a while tho. If you're a minority, even longer - possibly since the country was founded.
That's not the point I'm making. I'm saying that if it had happened to be a prominent liberal commentator at the other end of that bullet, other liberal commentators would cancel shows in fear of their safety. It's not a good situation for anybody
I get the viewpoint, but it did hit a bit differently when people that actively promote offensively hateful viewpoints and widespread gun availability incur the exact sort of expected outcome you'd expect from going down that path.
If you callously say murders are worth it to have guns everywhere, then this can be expected.
If he goes out of his way to stir up a hornets nest to try to hurt others in the area, then I'm not going to be too surprised that he gets stung.
Even as this should be a sign to tone down the rhetoric, a lot of them are doubling down with confrontational perspectives (well out of reach of the public mind you).
libs shut up voluntarily.
Then start ordering their left to shut up.
America's unwillingness to give up guns has desensitized us to violence. Tit-for-tat political violence was the obvious outcome of that. Now even if the country implemented sensible gun policies, I think it's too late. The violence will continue because we're desensitized to it
I don't have a solution. We'll likely live with gun violence as a daily occurrence for the rest of our lives. It'll be a slow and painful recovery if there is one
What do you mean you "will" live with gun violence as a daily occurrence? It already is.
