A former associate of billionaire tech entrepreneur Peter Thiel, O'Neill previously helped run one of Thiel's investment funds and later managed several of his other projects. Those included a nonprofit working to develop manmade islands that would float outside U.S. territory, allowing them to experiment with new forms of government.

Mass shootings stem from a nation built on violence. The U.S. was founded on the genocide of its Indigenous population, land appropriation. Its history includes the enslavement of African Americans, forced religious assimilation, discriminatory laws, and numerous acts of oppression.
