You know in the Hicks case they first made it about ATHEISTS. Then they made it about ISLAMOPHOBIA. Then the made it about an angry man consumed with PARKING SPACES.

But you know, the thing it was really about was not mentioned. GUN ENTHUSIASTS. Hicks openly carried a 9mm in a holster for all the neighbors to see and be frightened of. He had 12 guns in his apartment including an AR15 and a ton of ammo.

Guns don't kill people, gun enthusiasts do.
