“An epic American family saga, it explores a collective emotional malaise at the heart of a great power in decline. This is a bold and ambitious work… an expansive, compelling and heartfelt novel”

I was reading product reviews for an innovative pack designed for skiing, biking, running, hunting, etc. Not that I am in the market for this pack, but I thought it was cool.
The number of reviews which talk about using it for concealed carry of their weapon/sidearm is kind of amazing. I expected mostly skier and mountain biker comments. But it seems like the gun-carrying folks are really into this thing.
The #gunculture is the US always surprises me.
Full disclosure: I've owned many guns in the past when I was an active firearms hunter and rural resident, but am not currently a gun owner.
Hey #Trump- guess what - your #gunculture #GOP party has created the most heavily armed civilian presence in the history of the world….
guess what happens when they finally realize you fucked them? It “ain’t” gonna be pretty for you and your fascist fuk administration

"Now that he isn’t a trans antifa leader, the right had to come up with new narratives to blame Democrats for it. Two of them are currently being advanced by the usual suspects: 1) That he was a good kid from a nice Republican family who was subsequently radicalized by woke college professors; or 2) he was radicalized by liberals online."

"Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old from Utah who grew up in a Republican family where guns of all types were prevalent, has been arrested and charged with the murder of Charlie Kirk. Since he failed to fit the narrative right-wingers had constructed over the past two days as they speculated wildly, they have shifted their focus to new theories to blame everything on Democrats."

"Asked about coping with the loss of Charlie Kirk [and now that we know who the accused actually is], Trump said he was 'very good' and quickly shifted to touting the start of construction on a long-sought new White House ballroom, calling it a 'magnificent structure' that had been planned for 150 years."

"If the alleged assassin is who we now believe he is, there are lessons to be learned here. ...
Instead, it is much easier to retreat to cliches. 'We need to learn to disagree better.' 'The rhetoric is out of control.' Etc. Etc. Etc.
Bullshit. There is a fundamental difference between fascists who want to exterminate us and everyone else."

"She spoke with Daily Mail on Friday after news of Robinson’s arrest broke. 'My son, his dad, is a Republican for Trump,' Debbie told the outlet. 'Most of my family members are Republican. I don’t know any single one who’s a Democrat.'”

"Tyler Robinson, 22, the man arrested in connection with the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, comes from a MAGA family, his grandmother has revealed.
Although MAGA figureheads have been quick to point fingers at the left for Kirk’s death, Tyler’s grandmother, Debbie Robinson, 69, insisted that they come from a family of Trump supporters."

"He even dressed as Donald Trump for Halloween. The family wasn’t shy about their culture of guns, their politics, or their worldview.
This is who the killer is. This is what we now know. And yet Trump and his cronies immediately blamed the left."

"Tyler Robinson comes from a Republican family. His father owns a business installing kitchen countertops and cabinets. His mother is a licensed social worker. His family is white, Mormon, and self-described as 'gun-toting.' There are endless photos of Tyler and his family with guns. His mother posted about him proudly."

So the right is declaring war on entire left because some guy whose brain doesn’t fully develop until age 25 ( college age is under 25) who grew up in their NRA fueled & lauded gun culture shot one person? Did left declare war when Roof massacred congregation of black ppl- or Buffalo shooter traveled 100s of miles to kill black ppl shopping for groceries & birthday balloons? Or when Walmart shooter in TX traveled from afar to massacre brown ppl? There is NO both sides!😡#GunCulture #hypocrisy

Good to see this follow-up to the reckless, irresponsible and disrespectful actions of a gang of young men on Chief Drygeese Territory.The #Indigenous nation asks the videos’ creators to “take accountability by issuing a public apology, acknowledging the harm caused and committing to cultural awareness in future creative endeavours.” https://cabinradio.ca/253261/news/yellowknife/ykdfn-and-south-asian-group-condemn-gun-videos/
#Yellowknife is a multi-cultural community in #Canada's #SubArctic and has a growing South Asian community. These irresponsible guys just blew a huge hole in community relationships in their celebration of #guns and #gunculture in a part of the world where guns are used for subsistence hunting only. https://cabinradio.ca/253088/news/yellowknife/filmmaker-says-gun-heavy-yk-productions-are-just-music-videos/

This is not a good trend… it will be the undoing of civil society if it continues. Yet another Mericanisation of Australia. Will Australians stand up against it? In time!

We're on vacation, but our 19 years of archives are often extremely relevant today. (Weird, right?) So, here's a THROWBACK because at #BestoftheLeft, we remember the past *and* choose to repeat it.

I keep coming up against the argument that all Americans need to be armed because all other Americans are armed. Add the fact a large percentage of Americans have more reason to fear then trust the police and it seems there is no reason to believe there is anyway out from American gun culture. #guns #gunculture #guncontrol
For decades the rest of the world has never understood the US's #GunCulture and all the deaths it has caused unnecessarily. But the Americans have always claimed their second amendment was necessary to keep a King from taking over the country. So my question is, why now when they literally have a man in the White House who thrice daily declared himself God and King of the US and the rest of the world, hasn't anyone shot the asshole!?
Another day, another bunch of children and adults brutally murdered by handguns. The conspicuous absence of any ethics or conscience in this country related to #guncontrol cannot continue. #capitalism #ethics #fear #government #guncontrol #gunculture #guns #power #propaganda
