But, the article is about how some of them are outraged. I'm just providing an explanation as to why - it's because their in-group is "white male gun owners" and they're outraged because the in-group was attacked.

    Maga is extremely divided on this, from what I'm seeing.

    They're not homogeneous, for sure. Many of them support killing liberal gun owners because they're liberals, white men included.

    The ones who don't, though, specifically only oppose this because he's a white man. The Republicans that are pushing back on his killing would be silent if Pretti was a Black man, or a Somali refugee, or trans, or anything else other than a white man.
