đşđ˛ Washington, DC: Floyd Lee Corkins was a gay activist who was triggered by the SPLC list of hate groups. So he went to the one: the near-by Family Research Council. He took a handgun, two extra magazines of ammo, and sandwiches from Chick-fil-A to smear in the faces of his victims and opened fire at the local FRC office: fortunately he only hit one security guard who disarmed and apprehended him. If a conservative had done that after a sermon at a church or based on anything a conservative group said, that group would be listed as a domestic terrorist organization by SPLC, and the media would trash that organization. Since it was the SPLC, the story was buried and the tone was, "you can't use a fanatic to misrepresent a whole cause", a standard never applied to the right.

A gay activist who was triggered by the SPLC list of hate groups. So he went to the one: the near-by Family Research Council. He took a handgun, two extra magazines of ammo, and sandwiches from Chick-fil-A to smear in the faces of his victims and opened fire at the local FRC office: fortunately he only hit one security guard who disarmed and apprehended him. So it's not a real mass murder: just an attempted one.
- Politics: left / gay activist.

â Gun Control/Assault Weapon can't help: used a pistol
â
Treat leftist hate sites (SPLC) like they were right wing ones
â
Pay attention to warning signs
â
Improved mental health policies

đď¸ NOTE:

I'm pro-Gay Marriage myself and had been since the 1980's, so while I don't agree with the FRC's position, they are not close to a hate group. Nor are 99% of those who oppose gay marriage: either organizations or individuals. Trying to do so, it the left trying to bully/intimidate others into silence. Which is also a form of hate.

Good guys with guns

The news never likes to talk about GGWG's (Good Guys with Guns), and the many, many more cases, where responsible adults save lives, using guns. This is just a small sampling of the millions of DGU's (Defensive Gun Uses) that happen each year.
