The headline: "Despite high gun ownership, Scandinavia remains largely free of firearm violence" seems to allude to a 'value neutral' i.e. #TheoryInstrumentalism argument such as those of the #AdvocacyUSNationalRifleAssociationNRA e.g. "guns don't kill people; people kill people" (thereby absolving gun advocates, gun manufactures etc. of any responsibility). #CatchcryGunsDontKillPeoplePeopleKillPeople

#NewspaperUKBrdshtTheGuardianArwaMahdawi "it seems doors are the newest enemy of the Republican party. In the wake of the horrific elementary school shooting in Uvalde, Texas - where 19 children and two teachers were killed by a teenager with military-grade weapons - some Republicans are choosing to channel their energy towards the important question of door control.
'You want to talk about how we could have prevented the horror that played out across the street?' the Texas senator Ted Cruz said on Wednesday, while standing outside Robb elementary school. 'Having one door that goes in and out of the school, having armed police officers at that one door.'
An ordinary person would have paused for a second after saying something so patently ridiculous and then, hit by the realization that they had just blamed the massacre of school children on the problem of 'too many doors and not enough guns'" https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/may/28/republican-party-texas-school-shooting-doors

Addendum: in context with the US Constitution, 2nd Amendment, #CharacterisationVigilanteAndOrMilitia seems to have (perhaps, conveniently for some) undergone a #TheoryLinguisticsLexicalChange; from being a Congress-prescribed military outfit to being (mis)interpreted as a autonomous, vigilante group.

Republican Charlie Kirk suggested that Kyle Rittenhouse is like Jesus Christ while comparing him to 'wrongfully accused' Bible characters.
The Turning Point USA founder said the remark during his organization's AmericaFest conference with Kirk referring to Rittenhouse as a 'hero to millions'.
Kirk said: 'It's a win for due process, it's a win for presumption of innocence--all Biblical values, by the way. Plenty of people were wrongfully accused all throughout the Bible, especially the Old Testament, including Jesus Christ himself.'" https://www.independent.co.uk/tv/news/charlie-kirk-kyle-rittenhouse-jesus-v23e220d1 #AdvocacyTurningPointTPUSACharlieKirk #AdvocacyTurningPointTPUSAAmericaFest #BeliefDeityGodAllahYHWHJesusChristMessiah #NMUSTheVictoryChannelFlashPointGeneBailey: https://twitter.com/patriottakes/status/1473647345321615361 #HandleTwitterPatriotTakes i.e. https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2021/08/patriottakes-and-future-resistance-twitter/619645/

Context: the meme's central image appears to be repurposed from a composite image produced by #BrandStraight8CustomPhotographyJasonSwarr i.e. https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2014/07/04/straight-8-photography-art-firearms/
Addendum: the AR-15-styled assault rifle shown in this illustration was seemingly invented in #1956_ i.e. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ArmaLite_AR-15 and so, is incongruous with the #NarrativeWarAmericanCivil period depicted in the illustration.
pro-gun comment i.e. an #LiteralWeaponFirearmAR15 is a lightweight semi-automatic rifle.
