Do you mean the gunman did it and not the gun?

Australia has every gun law you can imagine short of a complete ban but still murders find a way.

“Gunman”
Ugh!
Don’t call him a, “Criminal,” AP!
Might risk offending other criminals.

I hate the enemedia.

Gunman should now be banned because of that wanna-be guy who was really a girl school shooter last month.

"Therapist", too, for obvious reasons.

“Screw the victims...”

Unless the shooter is a black leftist, and then we must ONLY discuss the victims.

And guns. Bad guns.

Of course not. The perps never are responsible in this instance. Other things like cars and bombs yeah. Well, maybe not. I do remember a rash of SUV attacks a few years ago.

Yes! A most lethal type too. A 12 Gauge fully automatic revolver assault shotgun!

(Makes the old 11 gauge look like crap)

I’m not sure it’s stupid so much as narrative driven. Like the smallest metal instrument, they mean to pick through the walls of society and infiltrate us with their totalitarianism. Frankly, I marvel at their success.
