Shall Not Be Infringed 7: In a Louisville bank or a home on the road or anywhere it's a Man's Absolute Right to Gun Down... anyone

So, imagine Marlon Brando from Apocalypse Now, now place him into a Sheriff's Deputy uniform, approached me last year and asked "did you go up there" referring to Highland Park.  I tell him no.  "So and so," he says, "told me if was like a war zone."  Without stopping, without reflection he continues, "I mean... who does that?"

I pause, staring at him incredulously, "Americans..." I respond flatly.

Since, the Highland Park shooting on the 4th of July 2022, there have been 475 Mass Shootings.  For a variety of reasons, most of these don't make National headlines.  The Covenant School shooting had several days of local and National press coverage because of the circumstances surrounding that one were "unusual" and the rightwing could make political hay of the shooters' alleged identity and the location of the shooting.  (While conspicuously avoiding the high probability the shooter was sexually abused at the school when they attended it.)

So today the coverage is of the Louisville Old National Bank shooting which 14 people were shot, including the gunman.  The circumstances appear to be one of a fired employee coming back to work with his Supreme Court Endorsed AR-15 and exerting his Ultimate Severance Package.

Don't expect this shooting to do anything to alter the Republicans response of "We're Not Going to fix this..."  In fact, each one of these shootings serves to further entrench the gun nut absolute adherence to More Guns, More Gun Violence, Less Restrictions, More Guns... More Guns... More Guns...

It's not a matter of learned helplessness as several prominent Democratic Governors and the Biden administration have pushed for gun legislation, it's that Republicans will adamantly fight any and all laws, and Rightwingers will trot out every false equivalence, disingenuous lie, and bad faith argument to undercut any response to this.  And the Supremacist Court is dominated by Reactionary Faux News Drones who strike down every gun restriction by appealing to medieval thinkers.

Anyway, you already know what Republicans will say;  Chicago!  Ukraine!  Guns don't kill people!  Enforce the Laws already on the books!  Outlaw guns only Outlaws will have guns!  SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED!  MOLON LABE!

I'd recommend not arguing with them on any platform because they aren't going to listen and they don't fucking care.  Not one bit.

But, understand the Rightwing interpretation of the Second Amendment and the passage of Stand Your Ground Laws by Republican dominated states is designed to let you know that they have guns and their 2A Trumps your 1A and your voting power. 

One of the things baked into language which helps perpetuate the patriarchy is the way stories are framed.  I know everyone is shocked by the Mass Shooting at The Covenant School at the Louisville Bank but, just three weeks prior to there was a horrific domestic violence massacre, in which 4 people were murdered, including a Command SgtMaj of the Army, by a jilted divorced man who then used his Supreme Court Protected Firearm to shoot himself.

Read this story, his ex-wife, his children...

As soon often happens, the man decided since the divorce is finalized it was time for him to exert his final Dude Process Rights and gun down that bitch.  But, since the new man in her life was present the gunman decided to killed him and then shoot 3 children to death as they slept in their beds.

Here's a tweet about a Florida Road Rage in which the two white fucks decided to shoot at each other but merely shot each others children.

Who's the good guy with the gun?  Who's the bad guy?  It doesn't matter because the Stand Your Ground Laws are designed to allow gun nuts the possibility of killing a person and then claiming self-defense.  Because who's going to testify against them?  And even if they are convicted?  Well, that's what Republican Governors are for.

The work the rightwing propaganda machine did in atomizing America and doing away with the concept of society is bearing it's fruit.  There are only individuals and your family and you are at war with everyone else.  But, that 3/4 ton lifted rollin' coal truck,  don't vaccinate yourself or your children, vote for the guy whose promising tax cuts don't worry about his racist anti-woman agenda.  After most shootings don't get covered and Faux News et al make sure their devoted fans only here about gun violence in DemocRAT controlled cities.

What it all comes down to now, now that the Firearms Manufacturing Industry has flooded the Nation with 400,000,000 guns, is Republicans and Rightwingers are taking a real long hard look at their guns and are coming around to the idea their guns are the Ultimate Solution to the problems in America; those problems being, not enough people voting for Republicans.

Shall Not Be Infringed 3: Dude Process and the Absolute Right of Men to execute Women with Guns

"You talked about one of the advantages of the Sexual Revolution was the transformation of the idea that rape was a property crime into a crime against the women herself, and I would say, 'Look I have plenty of sympathy for that perspective', I think it's fundamentally true but... but... I'm going to push back all this is very complicated," Jordan Peterson argues that rape is only really a crime when men's rights (i.e. rights of ownership over the woman's body) are considered transgressed by the criminal act. 

A man.  An aggrieved man.  He grabs his guns and blam 6 people are dead.

Richard Dale Crum in Arkabutla, Mississippi didn't take to kindly to another man trying to exert property rights over his ex-wife.  So Crum shot his ex-wife after pistol whipping her new man.  Then he killed a dude sitting in a truck at a convenience store, then he went to his ex-wife's families house and shot and killed them, then he killed two other people behind his home.  Then he went inside his house, relaxed and waited to be arrested.  And in this land of the Shall Not Be Infringed Crum was dutifully arrested by the Police because he will have his day in court and be afforded his DUDE PROCESS Rights

Tate Reeves said something or other about this shooting but, Reeves has little interest in Gun regulation and more in ensuring Women are reverted to Property status and hiding his involvement with Brett Favre in securing stealing millions of dollars of funds set aside for needy families to build his Favre's volleyball stadium.  Tate Reeves was Lt. Gov as Favre and Mississippi Republicans launched their scheme to steal a hundred million in TANF funds. 

In Mississippi, a woman has very few rights a Republican needs to recognize and none an aggrieved man needs respect.

So, Crum did what every white male gun owner in America wants to do.  Kill those who've trespassed against him and living to enjoy the fame and notoriety as another Second Amendment Hero. 

Additional Terrorism:

Meanwhile, while reading up on this incident a domestic violence mass shooting occurred in the Houston suburb of Galena Park.  The murderous gunman was chilling at the home his current girlfriend, apparently with her 4 teenage daughters and decided fuck this; that bitch is getting hit on by other men and she's my property so I'm going to take my gun and exercise my absolute right to murder 3 teenage girls, rape the 4th, and then shoot myself.  An aggrieved man exercised his "god" given and SCOTUS defended right to murder women.

Guns are an absolute blight but, they are an absolute necessity in Republican politics because having a large stable of unstable men ready to pick up guns and murder women, Trans persons, liberals, teachers, Democrats, elected officials is a core principle and foundational plank of the Republican Party. 

Shall Not Be Infringed: Red Flag Gun laws don't work and won't be enforced; which is exactly why they were adopted in the first place

It's every Man's Right to Murder his
Wife or even some random women 
He's Stalking. It's his Dude Process.

Anthony Wayne McRae won't be remembered for more than a week or so but the 8 people he shot before killing himself will be forgotten by rightwing gun nuts even before that. (Some rightwing gun nuts on Elon Musk Twitter will declare McRae is a Democrat because he's black and add him to their phony list of all shooters being Democrats.)

But, what the Mass Murder Firearms Industry will never forget is how each of these mass shootings boosts their sales of Guns and Stock Prices!

Besides screaming CHICAGO! CHICAGO! CHICAGO! (which we know is a dog whistle for Blacks!) after every mass shooting, Republican gun humpers shout 'Just enforce the laws already on the books!', then Republicans go out and challenge those laws and get a Republican appointed Judge to declare Gun Laws are Unconstitutional.

Repeat as Necessary.

The 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals citing the SCOTUS Bruen Ruling declared Domestic Abusers can not have their guns taken from them via court order.  Because as the Supremacist Court ruled only Gun Laws in effect at the ratification of the 2nd Amendment pass Constitutional Muster.

In 1996 the Lautenberg Amendment to the 1968 Gun Control Act denied abusive violent husbands from keeping or buying firearms after domestic violence convictions.  So, this would seem to be one of the areas of Gun Regulation which seemed to be uncontroversial.  And while this may seem uncontroversial to you, to the Firearms Industrial Complex and their co-dependent co-conspirators Republicans this is a problem.  Because a large component of firearms purchases are made by abusive men to kill their so-called loved ones.  Abusive Men are the backbone of the Republican Party.

The father of the Club Q shooter, when told of his son's crimes, first response was to be relieved about his son's sexuality, "They started telling me about the incident, a shooting… And then I go on to find out it’s a gay bar. I got scared, ‘Shit, is he gay?’ And he’s not gay, so I said, phew… I am a conservative Republican.  I praised him for violent behaviour really early. I told him it works. You’ll get immediate results.  My opinion about gays is that it is not okay”.

Remember Republicans are now wearing AR-15 lapel pins, because they identify with the weapon used repeatedly in Mass Shootings and not with Americans or even the abstract 2nd Amendment, they identify with the physical weapons.  Because besides having a large stable of Stochastic Terrorists destabilizing the Nation and making normal Americans ready for a Rightwing Strongman Authoritarian government, the Republican political plan, is to have enough men ready and willing to murder Americans and make the Nation ungovernable except by them.  Fascism isn't coming it's already here.  Be prepared.
