That’s a really strong statement and I agree.
What worries me is that situations like this only seek to inflame the hatred and violence rather than calm it.
When someone who advocates for the right to arms falls victim to the right to arms it should - imo - open questions about that right and the responsibilities that go with that right:
Instead, as we saw with knife crime here and people carrying them “for protection”, it’ll likely increase those carrying arms for fear of being the next victim.
no one should die for their political views. But the sad reality is if you advocate for the right for people carry carry weapons that can kill instantly you also increase your own chance of falling victim to that right.
it’s ironic that people are shouting about loss of right to free speech and freedom to choose - and yet that right is increasing hate and violence.
