I have a hard time equating the display or firing of a gun with promotion of violence but context makes a difference. Same thing with baseball bats. Both are used in competitive sports or could be tools for killing/maiming others. It's performative and pandering but not necessarily violent without more information.
The difference between a baseball bat and a gun, is a gun is from its origins, designed to kill. A baseball bat can be used that way, but that is not its intended purpose.
Yea but didn't Kathy Griffin get canceled or whatever its called because she slashed the head off a trump dummy? What is the differnece?
