Back in the day, shooters etc wrote lengthy manifestos.

I think they've realized that these days no one is going to read a full length manifesto so it's better to note their thoughts in...

Bullet point.

(Sorry.)

    And it continues up to the present day. There was a Ukraine war fundraiser where you could pay to have a custom message written on munitions.

    Among other things, Greek bullets found inscriptions like “Got you!” or “Ouch!” In turn, during the war of Rome with allies (90-88 BC), engravings were found on the missiles: “For Pompey’s Backside!” (it is about the famous father Pompey the Great – Pompey Strabon’s Gnaeus) or “Take that!”.

    There was 2 types of stories. First type was propaganda pushed by right wing outlets and influencers like Steven Crowder about manufacturer markings. Second type of story was released by federal agencies and is a little more trustworthy. First type of story was generally retracted. It's a easy mistake to make when news moves so fast.
