The suspect in the Florida State University shooter, who faces first degree murder charges for killing two and injuring five on Thursday was a member of Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA, a fascist youth group around the Republican Party, and is a registered Republican voter in Florida. The 20-year-old suspect, Phoenix Ikner, is the stepson of Leon County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Jessica Ikner, who has been with the department for 18 years.

      Yeah we should get in a big group with little space between us and threaten the homes and families of people with shotguns, fantastic idea!

      Only half the country has a gun in the household, this plan is brilliant!

      I don’t think angry mobs are a common thing here, but setting that aside-gun owners tend to shoot people who are hunting them. Angry mobs are not brave.

      Because there are 10s of millions of gun owners in this country, if not more. Very, very few of them commit crimes with guns.
