YouTube and Reddit are sued for allegedly enabling the racist mass shooting in Buffalo that left 10 dead::The complementary lawsuits claim that the massacre in 2022 was made possible by tech giants, a local gun shop, and the gunman’s parents.

Guns are the primary cause. They should go first. The others are secondary causes. They should go next.

They're not going anywhere, because our rights are solidly established and the Supreme Court is not going to abide with any infringements.

Unfortunately there's a long history of ignoring supreme court rulings.

There's also a long + contemporary history of citizens ignoring bans too. Check out the levels of compliance in New York after they banned some guns. Many of their counties' sheriffs have even stated they won't enforce those bans.

I guarantee the guns will still be here long after everyone who can read this is gone.
