How many gun rights advocates need to be shot before the radical left stops demanding gun control?

A few months ago, Charlie Kirk said: "It's worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment".

What to know about Charlie Kirk, Trump ally and conservative activist
Kirk, an influential Trump ally who at age 18 set up Turning Point USA, died in a shooting while speaking at a Utah campus event.

And when all these mechanisms — the “more just, more human systems” I’m talking about — fail to do their job, what can we do? Go to war, I guess? But I’m not happy about that. I don’t like war.
I am quite willing to celebrate a world without Kirk if in fact that’s what we get. (Last I heard was “critical condition.”) But I can’t get •that• happy about it. Whether we celebrate his death or denounce gun violence — both are important, both are appropriate! — we must above all notice the failure of everything that should have prevented us from even getting here. •That• is the real crisis.

Painful lesson of the day: the desoldering gun does not care about your feelings or your hands when clearing a clog and not being careful. However, got the CPU, PPU, WRAM, and VRAM unsoldered (including sockets) from the NES mainboard. I'll solder the VRAM and WRAM back in later. Desoldering guns make things so much easier even if I'm an idiot on occasion.

Trump looking to ban transgender people from having a gun and declaring them ‘mentally ill’: report | The Independent
https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/us-politics/trans-gun-ban-trump-mental-illness-b2820372.html

Related to understanding firearms, "rifles" and hand guns tend to be rifled. Rifling is grooving that runs in a helical pattern down the barrel. When purchasing a firearm, it's important to check the rifling.
First check that the firearm is unloaded. Empty or remove the magazine, cycle the weapon. Next, check again that it's unloaded by looking both down the barrel and into the magazine. Now, shine a light down the barrel and look down it. In the absence of a light, you may be able to reflect light off your thumbnail.
Rifling should look as though it's drawn on with a sharp pencil, and the barrel should look otherwise completely smooth and clean. If the rifling looks like bumpy mountains, then the owner probably used corrosive ammo and didn't clean it enough. It will probably still shoot, but not at all accurately.
Both the rifling and the pin can be used in forensic analysis to match a bullet to a gun. I don't honestly know how accurate this is because a lot of forensic "science" is just made up stuff that relies on the CSI effect and doesn't actually work as advertised.
However, not all firearms are not all rifled. Shotguns are "smoothbore" firearms, meaning they lack rifling. It is not possible to perform forensic analysis of a smoothbore firearm. It *is* possible to check for powder on the hands of someone who has used a firearm within the last few days, but it's not possible to distinguish between firing inside and outside a range.
I've been gathering all kinds of tidbits like this, partially just out of curiosity and partially because I've been wanting to write a story about a revolutionary group fighting a modern authoritarian society. I'm always happy to learn other bits, if anyone has anything else I could throw in my narrative (whenever I finally get back to writing it).

Kids and gun violence
The episode talked about how this mass murderer "true crime" brain-rot subculture flattens everything into just "content." They didn't talk about how algorithms play a role in this type of violence.
"The algorithm" incentivzes maximumally impactful content. When stripped of a moral framework, by capitalism and white supremacy, humans will search for a value system to inform them of what to do. A mass shooting is simply the lowest effort for the highest impact in terms of pure content generation.
This is simply the behavior incentivzed by the algorithm. The behavior incentivzed by capitalism is, of course, no less horrific but is presented as far more acceptable. It includes, of course, creating a machine that makes money off of content (without any differentiation in type) by maximizing engagement and incentivzing content generation.
