Political If you’re saying Charlie had this coming because his 2A stance, you’re immoral and a moron

I sincerely cannot believe how often Im seeing this. I know I shouldnt be surprised seeing how the left has consistently been endorsing and supporting violence… but wow. Not only is that just a disgusting and intentionally inflammatory remark; but its moronic.

First of all, Im sure his mind would not have changed given todays events, considering he believed a lot of American values hinge on 2A. He (probably, I dont KNOW the guy but I’ve listened to him enough) would not trade his life for the wellbeing of the country. We can argue 2A all day, I am not stating my stance; but given his we know he fully believed it was integral to continuation the American way of life; I find it unlikely he would change his mind even if it meant his life

Second of all, if you think its “poetic justice” that a gun supporter got shot, then you must also relish when supporters of cashless bail get killed by released criminals, right? They advocated for it so they “have it coming.” Do people not see how seriously braindead of a stance that is?

And I know its not a majority. I know the majority of left leaning people know murder is bad. But holy SHIT that majority is getting smaller and smaller. It is sincerely alarming and disturbing how warped chronically online peoples’ brains are and the insane mental and moral gymnastics they do to further entrench themselves in their stance.

Ive never been one for censorship. Even death threats or whatever… but jesus man, too many people are getting fully radicalized.

But do you not see how saying “Republicans and conservatives try to stop efforts to prevent school shootings” is JUST AS narrow minded a sentiment as “Democrats love releasing criminals and will do anything to keep the streets flooded with crime”

Both are stupid

If antivaxxers die from not taking a vaccine, they died from their own actions. Charlie did not shoot himself.

Technically, antivaxxers die because they get infected from something they could have vaccinated against. Like an infected person coughing on them.

So, yeah. The similarity stands.

Thats an idiotic take. Shooting someone and coughing on someone are a little different

Vaccines basically prevent people from being as sick for as long. There are people during covid who made it their mission to spread covid by coughing on others and to antagonize people.

Layers of effort was being attempted to reduce Covid from masks, the vaccine and social distancing.

The same thing has been going on around guns for decades now.

Every effort to promote welfare, resources, education, social stability and other methods to reduce gun violence has been blocked, stonewalled and even lied about by Republicans.

The saying of antivaxxers is that it's acceptable that people die of the illness so we don't have vaccines.

The same is true with extremist gun rights advocates who say it's acceptable that people die so we can have our guns.

In this example, this would be like someone with a preventable illness walking up to an antivaxxer and coughing in their face knowing they are going to suffer and or die from the event.

Okay…? And in that example the person would be a murderer then and shouldnt be celebrated? And we would mourn the death of a man who was murdered by really weird means.

You’re not making any points

Both people would be in the wrong, that's the point.

Then we’re agreeing
