Easy: Guns are the only thing that stops violence. Therefore, the only reason anyone could want to be rid of guns is to enable more violence. Why, if Tyler Robinson had had a gun, Kirk could never have been assassinated! ---

Indeed! They didn’t allow guns at the event, and look what happened! ---

How this goon has any credibility whatsoever is beyond my comprehension, but I could say the same about the vast majority of Republicans in Congress and any elevator of Fox News personalities, and yet people still take these boneless ninnies seriously for some reason.

> [@Irishman](#): > > In a world where Trump was reelected President, it’s hard to single out Vance as particularly noteworthy. He’s a heartbeat away from the US presidency and is basically a sock puppet for Peter Thiel, the hyperconservative SiVal investor (including upstart defense contractor Palantir Technologies) who is weirdly obsessed with Christian eschatology despite no real background or indication in religious belief or training. Vance, of course, is an unvarnished, power-hungry opportunist who will say or do anything in service of getting closer to the brass ring. Poor ‘Little Marco’ Rubio has tried to debase himself to get next to power, too, but he’s not even second fiddle to JD Vance. Stranger ---
