I was behind that Nazi pug guy initially but turns out he's a cringey bell end after all and it may not have just been 'for the luls'. He's also decided it's a good idea to join the far right cause and do speeches with Milo, Tommy Robinson, Stefan Molyneux and Sargon of Akkad (who is the biggest bellend on all of youtube).

I should have known better, if it looks and acts like a bellend it probably is a bellend.

I thought he served in Iraq and ran for Congress as a Republican candidate?

I know he's a former Marine, I don't know where he served. Regardless, he's now a writer for the Federalist making a click-inducing point on Twitter.

It's a common political motif to compare the 2A crowd to would-be terrorists because it accomplishes two progressive goals - 1) deflecting any criticism of radical Islam and 2) demonizing gun owners. Nonetheless, still silly.

Religious nutters who would use weapons/violence to achieve their goals? I think both radical Islamists and radical Christians are both weird as hell to be honest, and this bloke is a radical Christian.

Nonsense.

Progressives understand the threat of Islam and the radicals. The difference is the left don't demonize all of Islam as the right does. As in not all Muslims are bad or radical.

As for the the christian types Bruce mentioned wasn't there quite a bit of information on the back end of last year stating according to stats that these guys caused more crime than Muslims but law enforcement refuse to call any of it terrorism. I'd have to go look for the articles again.

You have pretty much pulled the conservative card with the statement saying its deflection and demonizing gun owners.

When the guy is Muslim its terrorism. When its a religious nut white guy its mental health with conservatives even if he or she is associated with a group who spread hate and incite violence from time to time.

The right leaning folk in the US cannot see past Muslims when it comes to terrorism. Everything else has to be classified something else. Turn on fox news the day of an incident and immediately they look to Islam as the cause and terrorism before the facts come out. When it turns out to be a white guy its thoughts and prayers and protect our guns and lets move on. No in depth studies or discussions about why there is an increase in young white kids triggered with hate who look to attach themselves to some hate group.

There is absolutely nothing in that tweet that relates to religious violence. It relates to his belief that the government in UK stopped Alfie's parents from getting care for him. I won't get into that topic, suffice to say, a tweet about a far fetched hypothetical pledging to take up arms against an imagined foe at some time in the future in order to protect one's imaginary child is not particularly akin to jihadi violence.
