Yep. Pretty much all the far-right ones are doing it in some capacity or another.

Not that the Reddit administration is gonna do anything about it, of course, since the head honcho of the whole fucking place, Spez (AKA Steve Huffman) is a right-wing doomsday prepper himself.

Like I said a few posts up, this shit's also happening on right-wing (particularly far-right ones, but other ones besides those) subreddits like r/The_Donald.

The islamic religion is a little archaic and bigoted like many other faiths...

of course I am aware that this specific attack was not about those archaic islamic beleifs, it was about the muslims being brown.

However archaic or bigoted one may perceive any religion to be, you'd still be extremely out of your mind to assume that justifies killing innocent lives.

Not disagreeing with you there. I'm not sure how they plan on changing their gun laws save for what the Washington Post typed, not really the best source for it.

Fixed that for you. Them being brown is merely incidental: a mental shortcut they made because of historical reasons.

On that note i'm quite glad i live in the Netherlands, where even the (main) right-wing leader (Geert Wilders) condemned the attacks in the most serious way possible. No excuses no nothing.
