Member of Congress Among 5 Reportedly Shot at Baseball Field

[A Theist]

...and Republicans need to be protected from gun toting leftwing assassins who target them for murder, as was the targeting and shooting of Rep. Scalise.

Indeed, seems like there's shooters from all sides of the political spectrum. Sounds to me like your country could do with some gun control.

If someone is determined to kill people there's many other ways to do so, as Timothy McVeigh, the Boston Marathon bombers, or even the terrorists who use trucks to run over people have proven. Gun control isn't going to stop determined murderers and assassins from killing people.

Well before you make an assumption, why not let the courts decide if it was indeed targeting.

Bullshit. There's no question that this leftist shooter was politically motivated in targeting Republicans, given his railings against Trump and Republicans on his Facebook page, plus the fact that he asked a congressman whether those on the ball field were Republicans just prior to his shooting at them.

That reduces the surprising thing here to him being a left-winger instead of a right-winger. But that's hardly the way to bet, especially if we consider your usual acerbic behaviour as typical of the right.

So..... 

The next time you see one of your deplorable buddies target a democratic politician, I fully expect you to share that exact same sentiment about your crazed dem-hating pal. 

Or does that not ever happen in your delusional little world?

No less deplorable than the hateful and violent vitriol that comes from the left these days. It's the kind of leftist vitriol that's manifested in the rise in campus violence to shut down conservative speakers, or like Kathy Griffin holding up a facsimile of a bloody severed head of President Trump and the Shakespeare In The Park play depicting a Trump look alike as Julius Caesar being stabbed to death before a cheering audience. It's this kind of unbridled hatefulness from the left that influences acts of violence against those they disagree with.

I was pleading , pleading....Please don't let this be a left wing nut job! Please! Then...Doh! Sanders is a Fabian style socialist. He does not deserve fucking violent revolutionists killing in his name.

Dodge and evade. Nice way of answering the question. I don't agree with what Griffin did. It was tasteless and stupid and simply uncalled for. But I didn't see you stepping up when your friends decided to depict Obama hanging from a noose, on fire, or in any of the other several ways he was depicted, WHILE IN OFFICE.

How is this argument still touted? 

You have to admit that easy access to a firearm makes killing people significantly easier than it would be otherwise. And in Virginia, a state where there is no license required to buy or sell guns, no background check required for private gun sales, no law requiring firearms to be registered, no permit required for concealed carry of long guns, and no general ban on open carrying of firearms in public, it is STUPID easy to kill.

[brewer]

Sounds like a strong argument for gun control to me.  When can we expect the GOP Brady Bill?

I was about to say, "Uh, sounds like you want gun control... what else would protect them from gun-toting assassins?"

This gun toting hay seed thinks it's damn time we get some stricter gun control laws.

Oh, Adolf...you poor little snowflake.  Who knew that you were so fucking sensitive!
