    This is a good question. Why mass shootings instead of assasination attempts on leaders? Are outgroup gatherings merely easier targets of opportunity or are gun nuts more likely to actually resent outgroup followers more than leaders?https://twitter.com/antrejected/status/1249342028841914368 …

    how the fuck does this country have so many guns and so few political assassinations?

        I’d say the latter because most mass shooter have delusions of grandeur that they blame outgroup followers for impeding

        I don't think these are the same types of people choosing between tactics. I think one group disappeared and a new one rose in response to changing circumstances (for example, modern leaders seem more interchangeable and less individually powerful).

        I think it is because it hasn't entered the realm of possibility for this generation. Once we get one, I think you'll see a cascading effect.

        Most mass shootings appear to be school shootings, and kids aren't very political.

        Wasn’t always true (see Weather Underground). Something here about Chesterton conservatives don’t assassinate
