I've noticed a few interesting facts about the reporting on this case.
The left-wing media predictably, is focused on the following aspects... Self-described White supremacist, gun control implications, replacement theory which supposedly is the fault of right wing media, etc.
They conveniently ignore the fact that he actually described himself as a left-wing person, an authoritarian left-wing socialist!
Also, this is a classic textbook case that should spark a good discussion on gun control. The rounds that he were using or I should say the capacity that he was using was already illegal. What good did that do? He used it anyway.
This is what we've been saying for years. Criminals don't obey gun control laws. The main effect of them is on law-abiding people who will actually follow the new law. Then you end up with only the bad guys have the weapons. Pretty silly stuff..
As for the replacement theory, the fact that something causes a few people to devolve into violence doesn't mean it's not true or mustn't ever be said. May I remind you of the violence caused by pro-abortion activists after the week. Or pretty much any of the last couple years of rioting and violence. The White House typical responsive is something like, yes it's wrong, but we understand that people are hurting and angry...
Yikes.
Lots to think about.
