No big surprise. Aside from gang violence, MAGA is the highest demographic likely to commit gun crimes.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

At this point, political violence always seems to be right on right.
He was literally discussing gang violence in reference to mass shootings in the sentence before he was tagged (according to the media, anyway)
lol. Also Trump is a pedophile.
I think the term child rapist is more accurate.
And child sex trafficker. And a kiddie fucker
(edit: preface: not defending the shooter or making a definitive claim about his ideology)
To be fair, my grandma would assume/say the same thing about me. That's because I hold my tongue at family reunions as to not make a scene. I know that if I spoke up, I would be outnumbered at least 10:1 and the ones that would agree also aren't the type to handle being shouted down. It's easier just to nod your head, keep quite, and lightly push back on topics that won't cause a blowback response; which is easier in individual conversations, away from grandma(ga).
I personally would just not go to the reunion unless you someone you depend on is forcing you to go
Some people hold family relationships above politics. If that's not for you, that's fine. But it's not a wild idea or unreasonable. It's just a different way of dealing with a political/family dynamic and what you find more important.
The Maga rewriting of reality has begun. They'll be justifying civil war again by tomorrow.
