    Maybe, just Maybe if one of these fucking right wing nuts take out a politician then watch real quick we will get new gun laws. Long as they shooting up schools, and churches and hurting us common folk nothing will change.

      Easiest way to kickstart it is arming at-risk minorities.

      California’s strict gun laws have their roots in white conservatives’ reaction to the Black Panthers marching with rifles while St. Reagan was governor of the state.

      The upside of this strategy is that if the gun laws don’t change, then at least those minorities will have some means of protecting themselves.

      If they kill a Democrat, the right will just cheer. If they kill a Republican, the right will proclaim loud and long how this proves they’re the victims of violent Democrats and it’ll get brought up for years to “both sides” political violence, the way that the Congressional baseball game shooting is today. Plus the more deranged part of the base wall immediately create new conspiracy theories about how it wasn’t really a Republican/right-winger that did the shooting, it was a left-wing antifa/FBI plant controlled by George Soros, Bill Gates and Tom Hanks using the space lasers to control their 5G+vaccine zombie trial and now that the trial run has succeeded you all need to be aware because the civil defense sirens will sound at 10pm next Tuesday and that’s the signal for the National Guard to come through and scour the neighborhood and arrest everyone and intern then into FEMA camps.

      Edit: fix autocorrect words

        If they kill a Republican, the right will official loud and long hours this proves they’re the victims

        …and then pass rules that Republicans politicians at all levels be exempt from any gun restrictions, even on someone else’s private property. They would proudly wear hip holsters onto the House floor during debate and claim that is the only way they can be safe. The first shooting victim on the House floor will be a person of color from a Republican gun.

        If it happens to be a radical from the left that does the initial killing, then there’s even a possibility Republicans would support gun restrictions on Democrats.

        Remember, the conservative answer to too much gun violence is always adding additional guns.

        I am going to have to deduct points there. You forgot to add in Hunter Biden and laptop into your well developed right wing conspiracy theory.

      I would say “only if that politician was Republican” but based on their response to Jan 6 I unfortunately have to think that even then they wouldn’t budge

      No definitely not. They didn’t do anything after Gabby Giffords was shot back in 2011, they’re not going to now.
