As are the nutjobs on the right.

Pizzagate is a perfect example.
Yes, there are nutjobs on the right, but they - and "Pizzagate" - are irrelevant to this story, it  appears.

@Sanguine
I'm shocked, shocked by this turn of events I tell you!  No one could have ever seen this coming.

I know, right?  But, for a bit I was afraid it would be something else.

Sure.   Individual Nazis,  or Communists,   or ISIS members are probably decent people.   We shouldn't judge them based on what the larger group does.    Why that's just bigotry.

I guess you missed that the post I was responding to was democrats blaming all gun owners.

Terry McAuliffe- if 93 million Americans die from gun violence everyday, we would have been extinct a long time ago.

VA Gov Terry McAuliffe talking about gun control. "Too many guns," he says.

A GUN STOPPED THE SHOOTER. My God.

@mystery-ak

I can't begin to express how much I despise this filthy piece of human garbage. 

What about his security detail, do they have too many guns?

DEAR CNN: Gunman Wanted To, ‘KILL As Many REPUBLICANS As Possible’ – Is THAT ‘News?’

 

CNN will likely be talking about this shooting non-stop. But do you think that they’re going to focus on THAT aspect?

Nope.

It’s going to be all about the guns and how the shooter got the guns.

Reports say that the gunman had a rifle and then, perhaps when he ran out of ammo, used a pistol.

Rep. Mark Walker (R-NC) told NBC News that the shooter ‘was there to kill as many Republican

The shooter at the GOP congressional baseball practice this morning is James T. Hodgkinson of Belleville, Ill., according to law enforcement officials. Hodgkinson, 66, owns a home inspection business. His home inspection license expired in November 2016 and was not renewed, state records show.

Appears to be a Bernie Nut from his Facist book page.

Nice to see that the Clinton's bag man McUseless isn't letting a tragedy go to waste.
