Read a good point on another comment section that went something along the lines of:
Tyler Robinson was raised in a right-wing, specifically very MAGA, household. And what is one of MAGA’s primary values? Destroy what you don’t agree with. He didn’t use typical “leftist” problem solving when confronted with something he didn’t like, instead he employed the tools he was raised with, specifically violence against opposing views. Even if he flipped ideological perspectives (to a degree), he didn’t change his methodology. That rearing of hate and black-white thinking was still heavily embedded in his psyche.
In the official story from the FBI, the dad confronted his son about the gun used because the dad thought it looked like a gun that the suspect had gotten as a gift. Are guns typically given as gifts? I'm trying not to make assumptions about the suspect's background, but that struck me as odd.
Yes. I’d say that is a very common practice. Especially since the gun belonged to the grandfather. Regardless of political background most white, rural families have heirloom guns.
