In a chilling incident that underscores the twisted intersections of personal vendettas and identity politics, Robert Dorgan—known post-transition as Roberta—allegedly gunned down his ex-wife at a crowded ice rink in what authorities are calling a targeted domestic murder. The victim, identified as 45-year-old Angela Dorgan, wasn’t just his former spouse; a family report reveals she was also his first cousin, adding layers of incestuous dysfunction to an already horrifying family saga. Dorgan, a 50-year-old who legally changed his name and gender marker amid a messy divorce, reportedly used a handgun in the attack before turning the weapon on himself, leaving behind a trail of trauma for skaters and families alike. This isn’t just tabloid fodder—it’s a stark reminder of how media spin often sanitizes male-perpetrated violence by slapping on preferred pronouns, turning he into she without addressing the root masculinity of the act.

Diving deeper, the firearms angle demands scrutiny from the 2A community: Dorgan’s pistol, legally owned in a state with relatively permissive carry laws, was wielded not in self-defense but in raw, unchecked rage. Anti-gun crusaders will inevitably seize this to demonize everyday carriers, ignoring that the real failure was in domestic violence protocols—Dorgan had a documented history of threats during the divorce, yet red-flag laws or restraining orders apparently fell short. For gun owners, this reinforces the imperative of vigilance: vet your circles, support robust mental health resources without infringing rights, and push back against narrative laundering that blames tools over perpetrators. The cousin-ex-wife detail? It exposes how familial ties can mask escalating threats, urging 2A advocates to champion expanded family court transparency and armed self-defense training for at-risk spouses.

The broader implications ripple into culture wars territory, where trans identity shields predators from accountability—imagine the headlines if pronouns were dropped: Cousin-Husband Slays Ex at Ice Rink. This case bolsters arguments for 2A as a bulwark against not just street crime, but intimate betrayals amplified by societal delusions. Law-abiding carriers remain the thin blue line; disarming them hands victories to the unstable. Stay strapped, stay aware, and demand facts over feelings—because in the rink of real life, the next shot could be yours to answer.
