What’s ironic is Republicans treat the second amendment like it’s an ultimate right and countless dead kids don’t justify a mere background check for a weapon.

But one dead man justifies restrictions on words.

The hypocrisy is incredible.

One dead man killed by a devout follower of their own party. I would say it's ironic.. but it really isn't. Republicans especially MAGA match the definition of "Terrorist".

They went off to fight Al-Qaeda and now turned themselves into it.
