No elected politician should be sending gun imagery to people who disagree with them. We would rightly be angry if a Reform councillor did this.

It is the natural consequence of seeing political opponents as sub-human rather than simply individuals who disagree with them about a particular issue. We should be above it.

You don't get to "disagree" over which other humans get which rights. Human rights are non-negotiable.

I don't need to convince anyone that I have rights. I have them, and I will defend them with whatever means are necessary, whether you agree or not.
