Does having an AirBNB setup make someone deserving of the guillotine or does that only apply to owners of multiple houses? What about apartments?

Please explain your reasoning as well.

The right is responsible for almost all domestic terrorism in the states, and that's according to the FBI/NSA, who are far from objective. Police (and the FBI and NSA are just federal police, obviously) are overwhelming conservative. There is no liberal cop to speak of. This is proven, undeniable, by the reluctance to prosecute the right. I guarantee you if anyone made death threats to Mitch McConnell the NSA would know exactly who that is. But every democratic lawmaker, even sympathizer, and it's crickets. Death threats continue. You know, you don't see a leftist version of libs of tictok with its owner bragging about inciting stochastic terroirism. It's proven again with the heavy hand society uses on peaceful protestors. I've been in the protests. I've seen the police strike first. I've been in the tear gas. The polices us vs them mentality, that they are "at war" with civilians is sickening and entirely one sided. A leftist will say ACAB and if you're a leftist, every cop will be happy to prove that correct for you, but no one thinks they're at war with the police. Not acknowledging this is willful ignorance. That's the kind of ignorance thats unforgivable, even by legal standards. That's where you go down by association alone.

Blood is almost entirely on conservative hands. Not the other way around.

But suuuuure buddy. It's the left that's the problem. I'm envious of your ability to see reality as you choose it, no bullshit, truly I am. I'm unable to mold facts to fit my narrative, I simply have to make a narrative around objective fact. if that is how you describe yourself as well, I suggest you relook at the facts.

And as long as we're holding facts high, since 2016 the majority of guns in America, which have never sold better, have been sold to those that identify center or left, so don't think you're a wolf amongst sheep. Trump winning and his entire presidency of eroding our rights and institutions while stoking division amongst us - truly unique amongst presidents, in a baaad way - woke millions and millions of people up...and America acquired about 20million new first time gun owners.
