To Mansur and Robert: violence begets violence - Robert you are correct and very thoughtful presenting a basic “truth”. WWI began with an assassin’s bullet. We have a different situation here in this country with the wholesale availability of firearms, including weapons of war. Putin may be able to send his “security services” in to put down protests about Navalny’s death but the Russians don’t have their own weapons. Were that to happen here - it would be a “bloodbath”. The former Lt Governor of Georgia stated that in 2020. He KNEW that would happen as he had been around gun owners. That’s one of the reasons he told Jake Tapper of CNN (I believe) that he refused to go along with Trump’s pressuring about the “finding votes” in 2020 following the accurate Georgia Presidential vote count awarding the State to Biden.
It’s imperative that the Justice System does its job in this country and the same laws apply to the powerful as to everyone else. There are too many guns. The Supreme Court played along with the ultra conservatives to appease the NRA. But they forgot about the Cold War and the veterans and the fact that Americans don’t like someone taking their rights away from them. We are now and have always been just plain ornery people that way. So when some idiots in an ultra conservative legislature try to enact a foolish law that the state’s prosecutors refuse to enforce - it could be because they aren’t willing to endanger their law enforcement or court staff to enforce that political nonsense. There are a lot of unstable people out there. I know some.
