Was it the "gun" or the Transgender?

The crazed gunman who killed two people and critically injured three others at a high school hockey game in Rhode Island on Monday afternoon has been identified as a transgender dad who railed against anti-trans hate in family legal disputes and deranged social media rants. Robert Dorgan, 56 " who shot four family members and a family friend before he turned the gun on himself following the deadly rampage at the Pawtucket ice rink " used the female alias Roberta Esposito, Pawtucket Police Chief Tina Goncalves said during a press conference Monday night. "We have identified the person, the suspect, by a birth name, the birth name was Robert Dorgan," Goncalves said. "We have also learned that the person does go by the name of Roberta, also uses a last name of Esposito."

JPW enjoys the same activities as trans while working the flying J. This explains his anger at the article.

Shut up JPW.

Why cant someone just report on the news? No one here is going to report it correctly.

Another trans killed someone. That's the news.

A "gun" cant kill someone, Zed. That's the flaw in your logic..

Then why doesn't the military carry spoons instead of rifles?

This is tired.

The truth has always been that people and guns form interactive systems that kill people.

A spoon cant feed you either.

"Guns" need people to kill.

People dont need "guns" to kill.

Why cant you see this?

#11 | Posted by boaz at 2026-02-17 09:24 AM

People can kill with almost anything.

A "gun" only sits on a table and can do nothing by itself. My S&W 40 M&P I have sitting next to me hasnt done a thing all morning..

Are you really that stupid?

#12 | Posted by boaz at 2026-02-17 09:26 AM

The truth has always been that people and guns form interactive systems that kill people.

By this logic, you would need to ban EVERYTHING that a person could use to kill other people.

People + whatever is always going to be an effective "system" to kill other people.

Still in all this, the only main movement part of this is the person, none of the inanimate objects.

#13 | Posted by boaz at 2026-02-17 09:30 AM

Is your S&W to busy watching foot porn to go out and shoot people. :)

#14 | Posted by fortfisher at 2026-02-17 09:33 AM

Zed kills people with his stupidity.

#15 | Posted by fortfisher at 2026-02-17 09:35 AM

I have a trained house gun. He doesn't go out and shoot people but step thru the door he'll kill you.

This is what the Oligarchs who own Trump and his Cult want you to focus on... and not on how the have bought your Government and your freedom.

People need guns in order to kill in a specific way.

Why can't you see this?

In part because Charles Whitman didn't take a bow and arrow up the University Tower to kill people.

I don't know why I get you excited on this subject, BOAZ.

I'm not a threat to the 2nd Amendment. Trump is.

The world this clown has convinced himself that he lives in does not exist.

You dont get me excited. I just proved my point and I'm correct.

Not the question. Killing is killing. So you only want ways to kill you approve of?

If the gun was transgender, would you still give it a blowie?

Killing lots of kids quickly in a school shooting is hard to do without certain kinds of weapons, Major BS.

This should be self-evident.

Hmm let's see.
"The crazed gunman who killed two people"

I'm guessing these people were killed with a gun, not with a gender identity.

Doid somebody say otherwise?
Maybe the coroner report says cause of death: Transgender.

And that's why we should let private individuals own 50 megaton nuclear weapons. In the name of freedumb!
