Florida Man

So, this gun-violence-prevention-activist walks into a Walmart in south Florida and asks if they have anything that will kill 200 people.



He saw a "white-nationalist looking guy" buy a gun, and he got mad.

The mind reels.  These are the people who we try to have reasonable conversations with.  They are so convinced of their own righteousness that they are willing to look foolish or angerous to make a point.  My mind boggles.

If any red-flag laws (which I think are a horrible idea on constitutional grounds),  existed in Florida, this guy would be the poster child.  If you walk into a gun shop and ask for something that will kill 200 people, the clerk is absolutely beholden to deny the sale and call the police.  Which is what happened here.

So what exactly does a :white nationalist looking guy" look like?
If that is not the definition of racism and discrimination, I don't know what is....
