School where my daughter teaches is on lockdown.... nutcase with AR-15 in Publix parking lot

Just a few blocks from the school. Probably just some dude parading around proving to the world his gun makes his penis bigger, but damn, that's fuckin nuts.

And this won't change until a few high profile GOPers have children who are gunned down. Obviously I'm not wishing that on anyone, but damn, this country is out of control with the gun worship.

NRA supporters would rather have dead children than gun control.

To the gun industry, dead children are merely collateral damage/acceptable losses for gun industry profits and political donations.

The NRA used to be for sportsmen, hunters and gun safety.

Now it has become an industry owned shill for the sale of more guns and the enrichment of its leaders.

Ironic how he chose that verb back in 2014.

to shoot anyone, but wants to terrorize people after the weekend shootings?

These people are sick enough to get pleasure from terrifying people with their guns and body armor.

domestic terrorist? What are we supposed to do? Watch until he kills someone before storming him and give him more time to kill others?

And then it's too late.

Confront him, and he can shoot you in self-defense and go on the RW Grifting Circuit as a hero.

it becomes a political liability for politicians to refuse to do anything about guns and about social media that incite violence.

So WE must make it a political liability for them. Campaign hard against politicians who put guns above lives. Picket them everywhere. Label them. Make them pariahs.

Until he shoots a pregnant woman and kills the fetus. Maybe then GQP will call for death penalty. And oh yea, the mothers dies, too bad, the cost of freedom. We should start shouting that abortions are the cost of freedom.
Zero reason to be in public in armor with assault rifle. Military folks despise people that do, “Stolen Valor” shit. The punks wanna dress up like soldiers, but would never serve for a damn second. Grab em up and give em to Putin to shoot civilians. Bullets paid for.
