Every eleven minutes someone in the US is murdered by an assailant using a firearm. In an average year, 507 people die and 821 are wounded by guns in New Mexico, which has the 9th-highest rate of gun violence in the US. New Mexico firearm licenses in 2021: 122,968; 46.2% of adults have at least one gun at home. These Democrats in New Mexico were lucky that Pena missed, unlike the victims killed by the faux Christian Republican maniac Vance Luther Boelter in Minnesota this past June. Boelter had a hit list of 70 more victims.

This is the steve bannon audience.

Losing their minds and then entering politics as steve tells them to. Praises these losers as patriots. They're too dumb to see how dumb they are.

More from the cited article ...

... The attacks took place as threats and acts of intimidation against election workers and public officials surged across the country after President Donald Trump and his allies called into question the outcome of the 2020 presidential election. ...

@#6

So, when will Pres Trump pardon him, as Pres Trump has pardoned those who assaulted the police officers at the Capitol on Jan 6?

All while Dems are busy trying to ensure criminals have no jail time or any repercussions at all for rape, murder, etc. You know who else showed no remorse? They guy who killed the UHC executive. The illegal immigrant who raped and killed those girls under that bridge (can't remember the names and don't feel like looking up). I know 100% that they showed no remorse. But, let's ignore those people because it doesn't hurt the liberal narrative, amirite?

I guess it's absolutely proof-positive now that liberals do want to indict people but only as long as they are on the other side of the aisle. But anyone on their side is free to do whatever they want, even rape women. Sad times.

Which side is voting to release the epstein files and which side fled out of DC to avoid voting on it?

Has Trump pardoned him yet? He's been treated so unfairly.

If he infact is guilty of the shootings, he needs to go to prison for the rest of his life.

But there's this and looks like an appeal. Maybe all three need to go to prison for life.

"They have said Pea was not involved in the shootings and that prosecutors were relying on the testimony of two men who bear responsibility and accepted plea agreements in exchange for leniency"
