Except massacring people does disqualify them. So should mass shooters not be able to buy guns, or should wife beaters not be able to buy guns, or should violent people not be able to buy guns? You do realize felons cannot legally buy a gun, right?
"they've shown" that men who massacred (non political) a bunch of people have high correlation with wife beating and other violence.
Doesn't disqualify them from high velocity AR-15 or any gun.

Georgia Republican: Arlington baseball shooting is good for Karen Handel
The special election in Georgia’s 6th Congressional District just took a turn for the ugly,
as Republicans are seeking to turn last week’s tragedy at a Virginia ballfield into a get-out-the-vote message:
A GOP candidate getting shot is good news for Republican candidate Karen Handel.
“I think the shooting is going to win this election for us,”
attempts to link Ossoff to both of these unrelated events by arguing that they’re all part of the “unhinged left.”

goddamn, you ing rightwingnuts are ing gullible, stupid, ignorant
Why Does the Far Right Hold a Near-Monopoly on Political Violence?
Studies show that most people across the political spectrum abhor it. So what might explain the disparity?
since the end of the Vietnam era, the overwhelming majority of serious political violence—not counting vandalism or punches thrown at protests, but violence with lethal intent—has come from the fringes of the right.
Heidi Beirich, director of the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Intelligence Project says that “if you go back to the 1960s, you see all kinds of left-wing terrorism, but since then it’s been exceedingly rare.”
She notes that eco- and animal-rights extremists caused extensive property damage in the 1990s, but didn’t target people.
Meanwhile, says Beirich, “right-wing domestic terrorism has been common throughout that period, going back to groups like to The Order, which assassinated [liberal talk-radio host] Alan Berg [in 1984] right through to today.”
Mark Pitcavage, a senior research fellow at the Anti-Defamation League’s Center on Extremism, told NPR that “when you look at murders committed by domestic extremists in the United States of all types,
right-wing extremists are responsible for about 74 percent of those murders.”
The actual share is higher still, as violence committed by ultraconservative Islamic supremacists isn’t included in tallies of “right-wing extremism.”
the police rate antigovernment extremists as a greater threat than reactionary Islamists.
The authors wrote that “right-wing violence appears consistently greater than violence by Muslim extremists in the United States since 9/11, according to multiple definitions in multiple datasets.”
According to the Department of Homeland Security, “Sovereign Citizens”—fringe antigovernmentalists—launched 24 violent attacks from 2010 through 2014, mostly against law enforcement personnel.
When Robert Dear shot and killed three people at a Colorado Springs Planned Parenthood clinic in 2015, it became the latest in a series of bloody attacks on abortion providers dating back to Roe v. Wade in 1973. In the 30 years that followed that landmark decision, providers and clinics were targeted in more than 300 acts of violence, including arson, bombings, and assassinations, according to a study by the Rand Corporation.
conservatives and Republicans are no more likely to say that using force to achieve one’s political goals is justified than are liberals
a clear difference between right and left:
For the past 40 years, Republicans, parroting the gun-rights movement, have actively promoted the idea that firearms are a vital bulwark against government tyranny.
While the Second Amendment was framed to protect government-organized militias at a time when we had a very small standing army,
the right has promoted the idea that it’s “America’s first freedom,” integral to defending our other rights, since the 1960s.

So bert is Reck?
So, they groove a pitch, pepper a ball to him and staged a scene. Not what I'd call touching, tbh.
