Everytown tries to exploit Brooklyn subway shooting
This is not going to be easy, since the killer acted in New York City, generally considered already to have the most oppressive gun laws in the country, and the killer had no trouble getting around them all. But here is Everytown's email fundraiser:
"Brooklyn Subway Shooting Highlights Dangers of Adverse Ruling in Supreme Court Case
On Tuesday, at least ten people were shot and wounded in a subway station in Brooklyn - the worst shooting in the history of the New York City subway. The shooting comes as the Supreme Court is poised to rule on New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen, a case that could thwart the ability of federal, state, and local governments to enact meaningful gun-violence-prevention measures for decades to come....
Amidst the smoke and confusion of Tuesday's shooting, adding more armed people to the situation could have easily compounded the tragedy - and an adverse ruling in NYSRPA v. Bruen could do just that."
Yep, such a ruling could give victims the power to defend themselves. Can't have that. It might mean more gun violence -- that the killer gets shot.

Why are we calling this particular shit for brains a killer?
It has been 50 years since the first time I had a gun pointed at me, and in addition to the armed robbery, it was an illegally shortened 12 gauge shotgun. It was also the first and last time I thought "If only I had a gun" (which I had the night before).
The Every-town Brady types are ignorant, intolerant, and authoritarian fools for whom I have only one reply- MOLON LABE.
Because that is what he tried to do. And with gunshot wounds, sometimes they are fatal years down the road.
Wanna-be killer, unsuccessful killer, almost-killer. He attempted to kill a lot of people and only his own incompetence kept him from fulfilling his wish right there.
Murderous racist left-wing anarchist. That's what he is.
Such groups can never let the blood dry before they begin their calumny.
You mean when the killer, who is a member of the preferred, prioritized, suppressed victim class who gets shot by a MAGA wearing white supremacist . . . THEN, it's a crime.
