@EvelynWiedenhoft [name pseudonymized] [ontology] : If you can read, enough said. You dumbfucks that back ⁦@JoeBiden⁩ need to realize what the fuck is going on. Even more so now that it is glaringly clear that he does not understand what day it is, much less what it is he is signing or talking about. #WakeUp you #woke fucks! [URL redacted]
"THE LARGEST MASS SHOOTING IN US HISTORY DID NOT HAPPEN IN LAS VEGAS. It happened December 29, 1890 when 297 Sioux Indians were slaughtered at Wounded Knee Creek on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. They were murdered by federal agents and members of the 7th Cavalry who had come to confiscate their firearms 'for their own safety and protection'. The slaughter began after the majority of the Sioux had peacefully turned in their firearms. The Calvary began shotting [sic], and managed to wipe out the entire camp. 200 of the 297 victims were women and children. Wounded Knee was among the first federally-backed gun confiscation attempts in the United States." #IdentityFirstNationsSiouxAKAOcetiSakowin [Wikipedia] #ToponymAmericaNorthUSSouthDakota [Wikipedia]

Supplementary #NMUSAssociatedPressKonstantinToropin "Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has announced that he has decided that the 20 soldiers who received the Medal of Honor for their actions in 1890 at Wounded Knee will keep their awards in a video posted to social media Thursday evening. Hegseth's predecessor, Lloyd Austin, ordered the review of the awards in 2024 after a Congressional recommendation in the 2022 defense bill -- itself a reflection of efforts by some lawmakers to rescind the awards for those who participated in the bloody massacre on South Dakota's Pine Ridge Indian Reservation near Wounded Knee Creek."

Addendum the argument makes the assumption that (being in the possession of) guns must provide safety and security i.e. that guns act as #TheoryDeterrents. Its argument uses the #1890_TheWoundedKneeMassacre as a example where the confiscation of firearms by 'federal agents' i.e. #OrgUSFedGov is blamed for Sioux Indians being massacred - rather than the more obvious explanation - that the 7th Cavalry simply shouldn't have used their guns without having clear justification. The argument seeks to leverage #TheoryEmotionalBias through a #PhenomnCautionaryTale intended to justify #LegislationUS1791ConstAmdt2RightToBearArms.
