The annoying problem that the NRA has these days is that when they send out their "thoughts and prayers for the families of victims of the mass shooting," if they're not fast enough with their statement, it's impossible to tell which mass shooting they're referring to. I was going to write about this Tucker Carlson broadcast last week, but the holiday and weekend got in the way. And not surprisingly, there was two more mass shootings that followed
The good news for Carlson is that at least he has some input in the whole matter. And being Tucker Carlson, he handled the Club Q mass murder in Denver with all the panache he can. And as it happens, he invited a guest on his show last Tuesday who said that shootings like that at Club Q are going to keep happening "until we end this evil agenda" of gender-affirming care. I look forward to Carlson's attempt to explain away the mass shooting at Walmart in Virginia the very next day. (And then days later, another mass shooting in Atlanta.) What will his guests say about these? That mass shootings will continue "until we end this evil agenda of discount shopping..."?? Or until we end the "evil agenda" of going to school? Or the evil agenda of going to church or temple? Or being on a bus with teammates? Or...??? Or...??? By the way, what will also ensure that shootings like the one at Club Q keep happening is having demagogues like Tucker Carlson continue to rile up people with guns who watch his show with guests on spewing hate about "evil agendas."
