Not sure you're actually paying attention. The right doesn't make excuses or defend their loons. Even if they were so inclined, they're generally more interested in defending the misused tool. Remember, the left always accuses the right of blaming the individual instead of the gun. So which flimsy narrative will you espouse? Perhaps you hoped nobody would notice you're playing both sides of the fence, or was it just your haste to blindly demonize the opposition and logic be damned?
Of course the right excuses and defends the loons. In fact, white supremacy philosophy is now integral to the Republican Party political policies, along with extreme adherence to the loosest gun laws possible. GOP politicians routinely quote QAnon conspiracies. They no longer consider it anathema to be seen with white supremacist organizations such as the Oath Keepers. The GOP voraciously push back on any sort of domestic terrorism policies that they perceive as targeting white supremacist groups, who represent the biggest danger in terms of domestic terrorism. State level GOP governments are busily attacking school curricular to remove any vestige of what they consider anti-racist tenets, god forbid Little White Joe Bob learn anything negative about white people or the history of white violence against blacks.
And what happens when another white supremacist performs a target serial killing?
"Thoughts and Prayers". Frankly, the right does not give a shit.
So the gun is just a misused tool? That is quite a flimsy smokescreen. It's not a tool. It's an instrument designed solely to kill, period. And if you look at the gun violence by capita, 9 out of the top 10 are red states with the loosest gun laws. The exception, as usual, being New Mexico. And this data came from that bastion of liberal news, The Wall Street Journal.
