    I’m aware of the basics of gun safety, and aware that having a gun elevates the charges on a crime like a robbery. Pointing a gun at anything does indeed make clear your willingness to kill.

    But you dodged the point of my reply, the motive or intent of the crime.

    A robbery is not terrorism, or terroristic in motive. A robbery has a cause and a goal outside of killing. I’m not saying an armed robbery isn’t an inherently violent act, and I never said that shit about “trynna scare them”. Not sure where you gathered that.

    You’ve devolved to name calling, inserting thoughts for others, and dodging the point of what you’re replying to. Seems you’re about spent

      My point is that involving the gun makes it terrorism by the same principle of escalation.

      It’s not a robery, it’s a near death experience where money might change hands.

      Gun violence is gun violence. It is all attempted murder and terrorism. Fact that some people want money out of it is irrelevant, it is still terrorism.
