The social media company owned by former President Donald Trump in March tipped off the FBI about threats made by a Utah man who was fatally shot Wednesday by FBI agents as they attempted to arrest him for threatening to kill President Joe Biden, NBC News reported.

            …That’s basically what I’m saying? Read my comment again, I was responding to a guy who said something along the lines of liberals being the ones to actually follow through with their threats. Anyways, they seem to have deleted their comment which makes my comment show up in a different part of the thread, which seems to be an issue with Lemmy.

            The articles you link not only don’t make your case, but seem to oppose it.

            The Congressional shooter was protesting taxes and fired at his local congressman.

            Your other link details a bunch of cops responding with deadly force to protesters.

            Which part of this is supposed to show that liberals are violent or approve of violence? Not a huge fan of liberals myself, but they aren’t out there conspiring to kidnap governors or making pipe bombs to threaten Congress. Liberals aren’t stockpiling guns and sending threatening letters and manifestos to politicians.

            Right wing nationalists are doing those things and they are getting off too lightly if they are even punished at all so the problem is getting worse, not better.

              I don’t even bother with those people anymore. If they don’t want to learn then they can’t be taught.

                  yeah the reasonable solution to the gun problems in a country with 330m people and 380-400m firearms is more fucking guns.

                  sure thing, bolo, but cute meaningless quip.

              Liberals aren’t stockpiling guns

              Some of them are…

                I’m in this picture. I hate that everyone assumes that guns are only for conservatives. If shit goes sideways I don’t want the Trumpets to be the only ones armed.

                  Every liberal I know except for two of them owns at least one gun. A few of them own several guns.
