Walz: We want reasonable gun control to stop mass shooting tragedies. Vance: They want to take all your guns and then use them to murder Emperor Trump and arm gangs that will pillage your entire neighborhood. Moderator: Let's talk about the economy.

i mean this is a pretty pure distillation of what the GOP wants--to make people afraid of their neighbors when previously they had no reason to be, and to make them believe they need to take up arms against them. www.nytimes.com/2024/09/30/u...

For Jamie McGregor, a businessman in Springfield, Ohio, speaking favorably about the Haitian immigrants he employs has come to this: death threats, a lockdown at his company and posters around town branding him a traitor for hiring immigrants.

To defend himself and his family, Mr. McGregor has had to violate his own vow to never own a gun.

“I have struggled with the fact that now we’re going to have firearms in our house — like, what the hell?” said Mr. McGregor, who runs McGregor Metal, which makes parts for cars, trucks and tractors.

“And now we’re taking classes, we’re going to shooting ranges, we’re being fitted for handguns,” he said on a recent day, pulling up a photo of his 14-year-old daughter clutching a Glock.

Death threats. The FBI showing up with warnings. His wife saying "we're being hunted like animals." Having to take his daughter out of school for shooting lessons (!). All of that, and nowhere does it suggest he won't be voting for Trump a third time...

Thought it was fantastic and kept thinking about it for a long time afterwards, not seen the 'banality of evil' done better on the screen. Scene where the snipers were shooting at other snipers in the building without knowing/caring if they were even the enemy was very powerful

Woof, I found a guy (if you look him up he writes for everybody—THE, The Critic, The Daily Sceptic, Bruges Group, etc. He writes like he’s moments away from committing a mass shooting and shouting into his livestream. Dude is messed up!) amp.theguardian.com/education/20...

The hardest recommendation of all for Mr. McGregor was their advice to buy a gun. “I’m not a gun person,” he said, breathing deeply. “I do not like guns. I never liked guns.” He felt heartbroken when he had to pull his daughter out of school for shooting lessons. www.nytimes.com/2024/09/30/u...

The lifelong Republican employs fewer Haitians than others in Springfield, but his life has been upended since Donald J. Trump spread falsehoods about immigrants in his hometown.

Dikembe Mutombo was my first favorite basketball player. My favorite Hoya of all time. A true loss of a huge (literally and figuratively) human. RIP.
