Um, huh?
Shouldn’t his base be concerned about secret databases?

Why is a russian operative keeping a database of gun-owning Americans?

Gun control; we need it desperately.

They should, but they don’t think the leopards will eat their faces.
They are so very, very wrong.

One report said that the gun used was one of 20 owned by the shooter’s father, so he does sound like a likely true believer.
Another report said that the father was actually a registered Libertarian rather than a Republican, but then the libertarians all seem to be eagerly in favor of the coming autocracy because of course they are. Donald Trump has promised to protect the civil rights of money, and that’s good enough for them.

The right has already decided on their narrative, and will keep pushing it in the face of all opposing evidence like they do everything else. It’s looking like the details of Crooks’ motives may not turn up at all, but the guy could have a 200 page manifesto and recorded video rant about how Trump wasn’t right wing enough for him and the Republicans would still claim he was a Biden-loving ANTIFA activist who was angry about his pronouns not being respected or something.

Does that mean he’s going to end civil asset forfeiture? (This is not an actual question. I know the answer. It’s no.)

Why be worried about a government database of gun owners when there is a secret political marketing database of gun owners?

Money has the right to belong to Donald J. Trump.
Civil asset forfeiture will be tweaked and expanded accordingly.

I took all of 4 seconds after the event for one of the boomer friends of one of my boomer FB friends to say that without the “/s”.

Lots of people are STILL saying it, despite no evidence to support that the Democrats are behind the shooting or that they are engaged in stochastic terrorism… it’s all projection at this point…
