Vox editor who encouraged rioting sees gun issue complicated by pesky property rights

Has anyone started a site yet dedicated to explaining Vox’s explainers? As Twitchy reported, Matthew Yglesias came down with a bad case of the Vox Thursday and started tweeting incoherently about people being denied their constitutional right to board a plane.

Any other insight into the totally mysterious mass shooting at a gay nightclub by a man who called 911 himself to pledge his allegiance to ISIS?

Why, yes. Vox editor Emmett Rensin, who was suspended temporarily after tweeting that people should start a riot if Donald Trump is in town, was back with a partial solution to America’s “gun issue.”

That would be some trick.

Obviously. Wait, what now? There seems to be a crucial step missing between passing legislation and reclaiming privately owned firearms. Hang on, someone’s at the door.

And I'm sure you'll lead by example by donating every dollar and possession of yours to the State, right?

give up your property- lead by example

Let’s not assume Rensin has any property to give up. Income inequality is a scourge upon the nation, you know.

I want your phone. Give it to me.

are you seriously advocating for the abolishment of private property rights or are you joking?

Advising people to start riots seemed like a joke too, even after his insistence it was not.

you're a scary dude.

given that private property is part of the foundation of liberty, freedom, and individual rights, this would be evil

Mr. Rensin, I say this without snark or sarcasm, I genuinely appreciate your honesty. Refreshing.

Vox is staffed entirely by kids waiting for their moms to pick them up from the mall."Cool story, bro, you should tweet that."
