“What makes someone arm themselves and go to a movie theater or an elementary school or a concert should be damned important to a society that cares about mental health and the safety of its citizens.”
For whatever reason, these people feel scorned, and rejected. They’re full of rage, and they decide to take it out on everyone around them. There’s usually a shitload of narcissism involved. Narcissists don’t take rejection well.
I personally know one of these people. He spends every night alone, because no one wants to be around him, filling his head with hate and fear from Fox and YouTube right wing grifters. He goes out of his way to provoke everyone around him with Nazi and Klan jokes, and sticks his phone with Nazi and Klan memes in everyone’s face, like an overgrown 15 year old edgelord. He’s 53. But he’s not the asshole, everyone else is. Everyone is fucking with him, not vice versa. He has a house full of guns, and it wouldn’t surprise me in the least if he went on a shooting spree if someone provoked him into narcissistic rage.
You should report him. Everyone who knows someone with the motive and the means should. You can have guns, or your head filled with caustic bile, but not both.

I’m seriously considering reporting him.

I think I am, thanks. If he were to do something, I don’t want that on my conscience.
Be as detailed as possible in your report, and focus especially on any specific threats against individuals or groups that he has mentioned.
