I have a hard time equating the display or firing of a gun with promotion of violence but context makes a difference. Same thing with baseball bats. Both are used in competitive sports or could be tools for killing/maiming others. It’s performative and pandering but not necessarily violent without more information.
The difference between a baseball bat and a gun, is a gun is from its origins, designed to kill. A baseball bat can be used that way, but that is not its intended purpose.
It does, but promoting violence (in the abstract) isn’t illegal. They’re just vague enough about their accelerationist threats that it technically doesn’t count as sedition.
Still, when they tell you who they are, believe them:
gun safety is important and a critical step in understanding guns. you don’t have to like them, but you should at least understand them to not be scared of them. they are a tool, and when used correctly and for the right job, they are invaluable. I’m not a gun nut, I own one single handgun. but just like anything, people fear what they don’t understand.
yes, they’ve been promoting violence for decades, that’s why it’s hilarious that someone used Trump’s words against him and took a shot, then all the Rs cried about “political violence”. gtfo, youve been calling for violence and murder your entire campaign, and before.

Well I am scared of guns so these people do not or ever will have my vote. But correct me if I am wrong but does this not promote violence.?
