Because every gun owner thinks they are "the good guys"

Because every gun owner thinks they are “the good guys”

Just wait till I use my gun to save a bunch of lives. Then you'll see that I'm a hero. /s

And most of them fantasize about killing liberals and BLM protesters.

Why always equate gun owners with right wing wackos? It's getting a tad tiring...

Because they think dead schoolkids are a necessary sacrifice for their gun collecting hobby?

Because most are.

Now I know the new trendy thing is for gun lobbyists and right-wing operatives online to stoke the division by pitching guns to the left. I know the intent is to profit from a wider market while simultaneously muddying the waters of who is the most violent ideological group.

... And some ground is being made with this vector, but it's still nowhere close to comparable.

Usually from their perspective they are. Most people don't try to be bad.

Yep. This guy thought he was fighting a righteous battle against the evil of white replacement. Brainwashed, but not insane by any clinical definition any more than any soldier is.

This is a key insight. There have been plenty of despots and dictators that ruled countries for decades while committing uncountable atrocities who had full command of their faculties.
