The Minnesota shooter’s gender is irrelevant.
As I have said for 15 years now, mass shootings in the US are motivated by white nationalist ideology. It isn’t a gun control issue. It isn’t an issue unique to Trump, MAGA, or neo-cons.
Female mass shooters are fewer and far between, but not non-existent. Same with trans, non-binary, or GNC mass shooters (there have only been 1 or 2 confirmed in modern US history). But gender isn’t a motivating factor nor has it been, to my knowledge, a determining factor.
I would advise against accepting media narratives about the gender identity of the shooter because The Daily Mail broke that story. I haven’t had time to go through the primary source materials, but it only matters in terms of accurate identification. Because the shooter was a white nationalist, possible Neo-Nazi, inspired by several other white nationalists.
The US was founded by white supremacist religious extremists who used guns to slaughter and enslave African & Indigenous peoples. Mass shootings are guided by the motivations and goals of the settler state.
White supremacy must be destroyed.
