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.
