I'm a live-and-let-live kind of guy, ultimately. You don't need my approval to live your life and I don't want yours in order to live mine.

Unfortunately, a lot of people seem to think otherwise. That's fine. They're welcome to their thoughts and feelings. Where we have a problem is that many of those people want to tell me how I should be permitted to feel about things, including how others live their lives.

Part of the reason I have guns is to make absolutely sure no one can try to make me feel a certain way about literally anything.

Yet it seems that the alleged Apalachee High School shooter was not a live-and-let-live kind of guy. Instead, he reportedly had a very specific motivation to the contrary.

[Name redacted], the suspected shooter accused of killing four at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, reportedly posted on social media about his plans to carry out a mass shooting over his "frustration with the acceptance of transgender people."

Last year, a Discord account that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has linked to the 14-year-old shooting suspect had referenced plans for a future massacre and shared screenshots of firearms, documents obtained by CNN allege.

"im committing a mass shooting and im waiting a good 2-3 years," the Discord user wrote, according to screenshots included in an FBI incident report dated May 2023. "I cant kill myself yet, cause I'm not contributing anything to culture I need to go out knowing I did."

In separate posts, the account expressed a desire to target an elementary school and expressed "frustration with the acceptance of transgender people," CNN reports. The account also referenced Sandy Hook Elementary School shooter Adam Lanza.

"I'm ready," the Discord user captioned a photograph of two firearms.

For the record, CNN has stealth-edited the original post to simply say that he "expressed frustration that transgender people were being accepted in society." Fascinating, to say the least.

Then again, if you're not careful, you might get tripped up and think the twerp was anti-trans or something, so I guess I appreciate the clarification at least.

It seems the alleged killer was also being bullied as "queer." Whether that's true or not is irrelevant. The bullying most definitely didn't help. That doesn't excuse an attempt to slaughter his schoolmates in job lots, mind you, but it didn't help.

If this was, in fact, a case of lashing out over trans acceptance, then what we've got here is someone who has used violence to invoke political and social change. That makes this something other than a simple case of mass murder. This is terrorism.

Couple that with the Nashville killer, whose rage is clear from the so-called manifesto that's been published and is the result of their belief she should have been born as a he, and we're starting to see a potential pattern.

Let's not forget, either, the Lexington bank shooter explicitly stated he committed his mass murder to prompt gun control.

Meanwhile, rather than tell their side to calm down, the left is on an absolute jihad against the right to keep and bear arms. It's far too typical in this day and age to do just that.
