[A]lso after Charlie Kirk’s death, the Heritage Foundation twisted data to claim that “50% of all major (non-gang-related) school shootings since 2015 have involved or likely involved transgender ideology.” That was in an effort to get the FBI to create a new domestic terror threat category for “Transgender Ideology-Inspired Extremism.”

How much longer until they decide to just round up the transgender people with the Gestapo ICE? It’s getting scary for transgender people.

    Grew up with guns in my house, my dad was a hunter. Learned the four rules as youngster. I’ve shot many times when younger. Last time was over ten years ago. Shot the 9mm until my thumb hurt from reloading. They gave me a box of 12ga slugs to shoot because I was there for my birthday.

    The reason I hold back is I’m the person red flag laws were made for.

    (Am I doxxing myself? Should I prepare for them coming to find me?)

      Hello fellow angry person! I have similar struggles and concerns about my firearms, it’s a wacky world these days. What’s tough is that I can shoot in my yard, and shooting forces me to calm down if I want any accuracy, but I hate handling a rifle when I’m upset. Airgun solved that problem, now I have a pissy gun to go be pissy with in the yard and not scare anyone.

      Nothing wrong with being prepared. Besides it’s just a fun hobby right?
