Thomas Matthew Crooks, the suspectin Saturday’s shooting, was registered as a Republican voter, according to Pennsylvania records.

Already the republicans are dismissing his voter registration as meaningless. Here comes the “mental illness” angle.

Edit: apparently it’s not uncommon to register with the party you oppose in PA. This is going to be a fun ride.

    That’s a lot of words for “I’m sorry I was too ignorant to think of AR-15 vs Hi-Point 995 Carbine despite it being the obvious fucking example” and “I don’t have a reasonable argument to talk about 90s gun control vs today’s regime”.

    Go complain to someone else and your welcome for the education. If you have a real discussion argument to continue, feel free to ping me. But its blatantly obvious that you have nothing to go on with regards to how bullets work or why the AR15 is a problem in today’s society.

      Hmm, to keep responding to see how long you drag this out, or leave and give you the satisfaction of some perceived “final word” like you’ve won something, or have some kind of superior knowledge that you have yet to actually show?

      I guess that depends on how petty I feel today. At least as petty as the person I’m responding to, clearly.

        Edit: And you’re editing your comments after the fact to change what you’ve been saying. I’m done dealing with simple minded children.

        Okay, we can end here. I got what I want anyway. Feel free to ping me if you ever come up with a real point about AR15 rifles. Or don’t, because you’re wrong on history and obviously know it.

        I’ve got you to stop talking about guns on a gun control topic, and have ended with my point before we’ve gone fully childish.

        Its all fun and games at this point baby because you’re out of discussion points and are just in childish response phase. I’ve taunted you with my main point that you apparently find unassailable and are running away from.

        So the answer is: as many as it takes. The more responses you give to me, the less likely anyone else clicks into this discussion because we’re way past the Lemmy.world range of replies. Its really just you and me at this point, and I’m more than happy to end with a 15+ deep reply chain now, if only to prove the full inability for you to respond to my AR15 point I started with.

        The more posts you leave me, the better my point becomes that you have nothing on your side of the discussion. So I’m cool keeping up with this. What do you gain from these childish reply wars?
