(28,526 posts)the Trumpers are claiming the facts that this person went to St. Olaf and "the media" hasn't mentioned his politics proves he's a Democrat.
Not on this linked article where comments aren't permitted but on anything else that remotely touches on guns.

(121,473 posts)The guy didn't even have any actual guns (his assault rifle was back home in Vermont) - just a tactical vest, empty boxes for ammunition and magazines, a tactical knife, a folding knife, firearm earmuffs, six propane canisters, fireworks, lighter fluid, a battery with wires a lock pick set, notebooks with writings that included a plot to steal ammunition from a retailer, police radio frequencies and a hand-drawn map of a campus building showing escape routes.
So no problems, right? That's perfectly normal stuff any liberal college student is likely to have in his dorm room. And a lot of college students leave notes that say things like: "Combat is much faster and closer than you think" and "the average door takes 2.5 kicks," according to the complaint. Notes also contained training directions for where to shoot a person on their body, targeting three areas -- the upper thoracic, the T-zone of the face, and the pelvis. https://www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/news/st-olaf-college-student-waylon-kurts-charged-after-cache-found-in-dorm/
