Senior Justice Department officials are weighing proposals to limit transgender people’s right to possess firearms, according to two officials familiar with the internal discussions.
Oh so now they’re in favor of gun control when it’s a trans person who committed the violence, but every time it’s a cishet white fascist (most of them) all we ever hear is “now is not the time to talk about gun control” “don’t make this political” “muh second amendment”
Modern American gun control was started by Regan in California to combat the panthers (and probably other groups, it’s been a long since I did a deep dive on this) protecting their communities against police violence. This isn’t new in the slightest.
Yeah, don’t think I need to tell anyone this but fascists indulge in hypocrisy as a flex. Look at how wrong, how hypocritical they can be and still get the support of everyone.
If they can play the discourse game with cheats enabled, that’s exactly why you’re better off just mocking fascists. Pick the weakest link among them (church boomers, incels) and relentlessly attack them and imply everyone to the right of stalin must be as pathetic as an incel.
I do like the idea of implying Stalin is a bellwether for reasonable politics and anyone to the right of him is too far right. I do think a world where he’s considered the right wing extreme of the Overton Window sounds pretty good.

Oh yeah I know about the Mulford Act, I was just acting incredulous to point out the hypocrisy (which the fascists also don’t give a shit about)
