where gun rights are supreme above all else.

It's not as though these kinds of things are rare. They happen almost daily.

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

Totally appropriate in 'The British Are Coming!' days of muzzle loaders, totally inappropriate in 2022. Or even 1922.

What other country has something similar engraved in their rule book, and is as heavily misinterpreted as in America?

Further, this guy was clearly a racist/bigoted threat, and law enforcement should have been all over his rear from the moment he acquired gunz, body armor, began posting crud on media, etc.

Hell, we pay informants for info on drug deals, how’s about domestic terrorism and hate crimes.
