    Yeah ... but right now, our corner of the world is trying to fill a seat in the House for a congressman who died not long ago.

    One of the candidates' TV campaigns is all about guns. Basically implies that all the leftist pinko Commies are trying to repeal the Second Amendment. Nauseating. Simply put, if someone from abroad came here and saw that ad, they would wonder what they got themselves into. If we did the same things abroad and saw an ad like that, the word "sh_thole" would be drug out again.

    But they think it's a "YOU'RE NOT TAKING OUR GUNS FOR ANY REASON" narrative. Really disturbing ... and, again, a political ad.

    I don't see any mention of him being armed when he confronted the shooter. He banged on the guy's window rather than pointing a weapon at him.

    I was speculating based on his appearance and the "on the spectrum" quote. IMHO people who want to kill other people for no reason tend to be unhappy. Incels and radical Muslims tend to be unhappy.

    But poor white Christian people are just happy as anything with how their life is going?

    I was unclear about that, too. There were two guys that the rabbi asked to worship armed. I think the other guy may have been the one that discharged. It seems like the other guy doesn't want any fame and hasn't talked about it.

    Story on the AP wire about the hero's body getting a police escort from Charlotte to Waynesville in the mountains. And those writers will take that story home. Easily.
