One is killed and one injured and they ban an entire country. But don’t be fooled - if this was seriously about stopping the violence, they’d have banned white men from owning guns years ago.
The U.S. halted all decisions relating to asylum claims and paused visa issuances for Afghan nationals, a day after President Trump vowed to “permanently pause” migration from nations he described as “Third World Countries.”

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

I’m gonna fukin die if sandwiches get banned before assault rifles.
It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

RFK Jr: We had lots of guns when we were kids. Kids brought guns to school and were encouraged to do so. And nobody was walking into schools and shooting people. There are many things that could explain this. One is the dependence on psychiatric drugs.
