On his X account, Robert Card followed and/or liked posts by a number of prominent conservative politicians and pundits, including Donald Trump, Jr. and Tucker Carlson, as well as X CEO Elon Musk.In March, he liked a tweet by Trump Jr. that read, "Given the incredible rise of trans/non-binary mass shooters in the last few years—by far the largest group committing as a percentage of population—maybe, rather than talking about guns, we should be talking about lunatics pushing their gender-affirming bullshit on our kids."
Mass shooters are trans, insurrectionists are AntiFa, up is down, and the world is flat.
Nazi Flags Found in Home of Walmart Mass Shooter
Walmart mass shooting suspect Benjamin Charles Jones was inspired by a racially-motivated violent extremist ideology, according to the FBI.
The 20-year-old is suspected of using a Hi-Point 45-caliber carbine to shoot four people at a Walmart in Beavercreek, Ohio on November 20th before turning the gun on himself. Officers found Nazi flags during a search of his house in Dayton.
Jones went to a Christian online school and spent all his time at home. He believed in right-wing conspiracy theories, including that the Holocaust did not happen, and had previously been admitted to hospital for mental-health evaluations.
Jones's extreme ideology, identified by the FBI, refers to a "loosely organized movement of individuals and groups that espouse some combination of racist, antisemitic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, misogynistic, and homophobic ideology."
Mother of Boy Who Shot Teacher Gets 2 Years

On Friday, January 6th, a first-grade class at Richneck Elementary School in Newport News was about to go to art class when a student pulled a handgun from his backpack and pointed it at his teacher, 25-year-old Abigail Zwerner.According to Brittaney Gregory, whose son was in the class, "She was going to confiscate it, and that's when he shot." The teacher told the children to run, and they raced to another teacher's classroom, where they stayed in lockdown.
After the shooting, the 6-year-old was placed in police custody. He used a 9 millimeter Taurus firearm, which was legally purchased by the his mother. The teacher suffered life-threatening injuries, but has since improved and is now in stable condition.
The following Saturday, police in Beech Grove, Indiana responded to reports of a diaper-clad child roaming the halls with a firearm at a local apartment complex.
When the officers arrived, they spoke to neighbors who had reported seeing the toddler with the gun, which he pointed at them, prompting them to retreat inside and call the police.
The police then arrested the boy's father, who lied about having a gun in the home.
This comes after Indiana lawmakers passed permitless carry, which allows people to have purchase and carry firearms without a background check or safety training.
Three days later, a gun trade show in Las Vegas promoted a JR-15 .22-caliber long rifle meant for kids:
"The JR-15 is the first in a line of shooting platforms that will assist families in safely passing on the proud American tradition of responsible gun ownership to the next generation of recreational shooting and hunting enthusiasts," the description on the trade show's website reads.
At SHOT, the National Shooting Sports Foundation's annual trade show, gun manufacturers are promoting guns that are specifically marketed toward children, including the JR-15 and a building blocks sniper toy.
"Making an AR-15 for kids is a disgusting new low,” said Sari Kaufman, a volunteer with Students Demand Action, which is part of Everytown for Gun Safety. "Instead of seeing young people as an opportunity to boost sales and arm more people with weapons designed for mass violence, the gun industry should be working to make their products safer."
Before thousands of gun enthusiasts made their way into the Venetian Expo and Caesars Forum on Tuesday, they were met with billboards with Students Demand Action's message: "Guns are the #1 killer of kids and teens in America."
The American Public Health Association calls gun violence a public health crisis and it is a leading cause of premature death in the country, responsible for more than 38,000 deaths annually.
Less than three weeks into the new year and at least 1,954 people have died from gun violence so far, according to data from the Gun Violence Archive.
Gun violence is also now the leading cause of death for American children. At least 117 children and teachers have died going to school, attending class, or walking home since the Sandy Hook shooting in 2012.
For Kaufman, a 20-year-old sophomore at Yale, it is not something she has to imagine. She was a sophomore at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland when a shooter opened fire and killed 17 people and injured 17 more.
"I think about it every day," she said. "Going through a tragedy and trauma like that at 15 years old, right when you're developing into an adult—it impacts you every day in various ways. There's constant reminders, because gun violence goes unchecked and it continues to happen."
Kaufman called each new mass shooting a "sad cycle," where virtually nothing changes and gun manufacturers continue to profit.
"It's upsetting that at 20 years old, I've been through a mass shooting, and now I'm having to call out lawmakers and an industry, because adults aren't doing their jobs," she said.
The mother of a 6-year-old boy who shot his teacher in Virginia was sentenced Friday to two years in prison for felony child neglect by a judge who chastised her for abdicating her responsibilities as a parent.
The sentence given to Deja Taylor by Circuit Court Judge Christopher Papile was much harsher than the maximum six-month sentence prosecutors agreed to recommend as part of a plea deal and also surpassed the high-end of advisory state sentencing guidelines.
Taylor, 26, pleaded guilty to a single count of felony neglect in August. As part of the plea agreement, prosecutors agreed to drop a misdemeanor count of recklessly storing a firearm.

The Colorado Springs gay nightclub shooter had charges dropped in a 2021 bomb threat case after family members who were terrorized in the incident refused to cooperate, according to the district attorney and court documents unsealed Thursday.The charges were dropped despite authorities finding a tub full of bomb-making chemicals and later receiving warnings from other relatives that suspect Anderson Lee Aldrich was sure to hurt or murder his grandparents if freed, according to the unsealed documents.
The suspect's mother and the grandparents derailed that earlier case by evading prosecutors' efforts to serve them with a subpoena, leading to a dismissal of the charges after defense attorneys said speedy trial rules were at risk, El Paso County District Attorney Michael Allen said.
This is the same conservative district attorney who refused to enforce the state red flag law, and seize his firearms after his arrest. "We have bomb making materials, terrorist threats, and numerous witnesses, including records from law enforcement, but his family will not testify against him, my hands are tied!" Disengenuous *******.
A Colorado man who killed five people in a 2022 mass shooting at a gay nightclub has agreed to plead guilty to federal hate crime and gun charges, according to court documents unsealed on Tuesday.
Anderson Lee Aldrich, 23, will plead guilty to 74 federal charges, according to court documents unsealed in U.S. District Court in the District of Colorado. That will result in "multiple concurrent life sentences plus additional consecutive sentences totaling 190 years imprisonment," according to the filings.
The documents state that Aldrich chose his targets "because of the actual and perceived sexual orientation and gender identity" of those in the nightclub where he opened fire.
Aldrich modeled the shooting after the 2016 massacre at Pulse—a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida—where a gunman killed 49 people before police shot him dead.
Apparently, when faced with the death penalty, Aldrich dropped his non-binary act, and confessed to hate crimes in order to save his life.
After being involuntarily disengaged from the cajoling of the online hate communities in which he posted for over a year, and facing real-world consequenes, he realized that his little trolling stunt was not funny after all, and he should quietly plead guilty to all charges.

How does that help save him from the death penalty?
Seems he was pretending to be non-binary as a means to avoid the hate crime charges and made a deal where he accepts the hate crimes in exchange for 150+ years in prison getting all the receptive oral and anal sex he wants (and doesn't want), instead of being executed.
I'm assuming here, Adam can chime in as he's been following the story.

Yes.

He initially claimed to be non-binary, because thought he could not be charged with hate crime enhancements if he was non-binary.
When he learned that is not the case, he agreed to pleade guilty to all charges if they agreed to take the death penalty off the table.
GOP Rep Sued for Falsely Naming Man as KC Shooter
Denton Loudermill, the Kansas City man who was falsely accused of being a shooter in the Chiefs rally mass shooting, has filed a defamation suit against Republican Representative Tim Burchett of Tennessee over his social media posts naming Loudermill as the shooter.
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Kansas, states that Burchett shared photos of Loudermill on his personal social media account, saying he was one of the shooters, and referring to him as an "illegal alien."
Attorneys for Loudermill state he has received death threats as a result of Burchett's post on X, and are asking $75,000 in damages for acts considered "willful, wanton, reckless, and malicious."

He should be suing Republican Tim Burchett for a lot more than $75k. Burchett will just do GoFundMe, add a line about 'Jesus' and "Liberals' and Republicans will donate blindly.
Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb signed into law three more bills Friday, including a debated measure that will effectively kill a pending lawsuit by the city of Gary against gun manufacturers and sellers. -snip
For nearly a quarter century, some of the world’s largest gunmakers have tried unsuccessfully to beat back a lawsuit brought by the city of Gary, Indiana, accusing them of turning a blind eye to illegal gun sales. -snip
Republicans in Indiana doing their best to make it even easier for guns to be sold to criminals and it looks like they've succeeded.
We're going to need more "thoughts and prayers" soon.
