Now, who is they? Well it is not just those two guys with guns. Have you listened to how the left talks these days? They rage and they condescend. Often they are angry and radical. And most importantly, they are intolerant of any views differing from their own. They do not want to engage in honest debate; they want to cancel and banish. And if they cannot do that, well, then what?
And the smug moral superiority that they all seem to share. Surely this encourages the whole leftist spectrum to act more radically. I mean, they are on the correct side of history. And we on the right are evil. Just ask them.

Their moral superiority is a form of self-deception. And lack of confidence in their principles. But they are too self-assured to question their own views. And yes, anyone on the left who does question will be banished; it is for this reason that the thoughtful people on the left, such as they are, keep quiet.
I once told a leftist friend of mine that I see more intellectual diversity on the right than on the left. She laughed at me. Of course.
Mark my words, they will use this incident to push for gun control. Just imagine, kill a right-wing activist with a gun and then argue that we need to get rid of guns.
It is the hypocrisy of the left, about everything, that we all notice. John Kerry and his private jets; Hillary Clinton and her many guns.
So this is, I believe, a true turning point. Things will either get radically better or radically worse. I cannot predict which. But I know one thing for sure: Hold on to your guns. You might need them.
One final thought on this. Murder is the ultimate form of censorship. The left will be all too happy if we on the right stop talking because we are afraid that we too might be shot. In the leftist mind, the ends absolutely justify the means. And I think, to some extent this will work. Tucker, Candace, Elon, Ben Shapiro, Megyn Kelly; what are these people, and many others, going to do now? I notice Brandon Tatum also holds Kirk-style events on campus. None of these guys, no matter how famous they are, can afford Secret Service level protection.
The left will be all too happy if theirs becomes the only narrative: Yes, yes, this is terrible, a tragedy, see we told you about guns, etc. But yes absolutely, we need to trans kids in schools without the knowledge of their parents. See, no one disagrees with that.
They're giddy tonight.
