it is really hard to discuss this topic without veering into politics.

I’d like to really argue this point (though I know I’ll lose)
I’d offer that discussions of this subject matter should be no different than discussions about evangelism - the ‘politics’ of it is an accident of culture
Similar on the ‘other side’ as BLM, LQBTQ+++, et al - the politics is an accident of culture
Arguing that domestic terrorism is political and thus outside the bounds of discussion argues that there are two sides - are there?

No, I don't think there should be. I think we should all be equally outraged at domestic terrorism no matter the case.

he brought a nail gun to a real gun gun fight

Weird part is that he ALSO had the AR15... but used the nail gun.

Maybe he was scared to use the AR. I mean, they are loud.

My guess is he wanted to make a show of his "patriotism" and left his nuts tied to his truck. :hifive:

Just an assumption, but I'm guessing he didn't really have the balls to go through with his plan and/or his plan just wasn't very well thought out (suggesting a lack of intelligence) and/or the realization of what his actions would ultimately lead to hit him like a concrete truck once he was discovered and engaged. Maybe some part of him thought he could still mitigate the consequences by not using the REAL gun.

I read that there are video's online instructing aspiring terrorists that nail guns can penetrate bullet proof glass.

That makes sense of why he had it in the first place. I guess he was trying use the nail gun on the glass in order to get in? Again, stupid people...

I mean……..yeah…..
But this is the fallout from a HUGE story we can’t REALLY discuss, so snark seems like the most readily available response

You can discuss it. On Madaboutpolitics.com

That's the point. You can discuss both HUGE stories there. Not here. There.

On that note. I'm closing this thread.
