You’re Allowed to Call Trump a Threat to Democracy
Political violence is an intolerable threat to our nation. It isn’t the only one.William Kristol (The Bulwark)
"No one in the MAGAsphere seems to notice or care that their own resistance to reasonable gun control enabled misfit Routh - who has dozens of previous charges - to arm himself in the first place. Routh had been pulled over by police more than 100 times and was considered 'a dangerous person,' but still legally stocked high-powered weapons and explosives."

"Regardless, Routh wasn’t allowed to have firearms, period.
But we live in a country where JD Vance, Trump’s running mate, shrugged off a school shooting by saying it was a regrettable 'fact of life,' mumbled nonsense about schools being 'soft targets,' and said that Kamala Harris wants to 'take law-abiding American citizens’ guns away from them.'"

"For that, he was convicted of resisting arrest, carrying a concealed weapon, and driving after revocation. The automatic weapon possession was dismissed.
One report said Routh had multiple felony convictions for stolen goods from 1997 to 2010, though Markenzy Lapointe, the US Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, said in a briefing Monday that Routh’s past felony convictions were only in 2002 and 2010."

"As difficult as it is to discern a pattern to his political views, it’s blindingly easy to discern why Routh shouldn’t have been able to get a gun. In April 2002, he was charged with having an explosive device. Just prior to his December 2002 conviction for that offense, he barricaded himself inside his business, along with a fully automatic machine gun, in a standoff with police for hours."
