Amen!

Amen! Indeed.
Well said by the Republican Congressman from Illinois.
I'm listing to a similar message by Sen Tim Scott right now. He is talking about the joint Prayer Breakfast that members of both parties attend.

I look forward to the Joint presser by Nancy Pelosi & Chuck Schumer with the same message.
I feel sure that NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, FOX, MSNBC, NYT, WashPo will all be doing editorials and announcements with the same message.

Rand Paul who was there said it would have been a massacre if not for the good guys with guns.

Congressman Rodney Davis, Illinois, "Political Terrorism." by radical discourse from both sides.

To be fair, those were good police officers with guns.

Capitol City Police are one of the finest forces in the country.

Think not.

Interesting Virginia trends Democrat and gun ownership is rather common.
Politicians and media tend to make it partisan.

FBI lead agent all over cable news grandstanding and talking about an ongoing investigation.

Had to walk back his answer when ask if it was a assissation attempt and said it wasn't. Cleaned it up by saying he misspoke and its to early to tell.

Sadly, if it bleeds; it leads. It's all about the money.

The MSM needs to dial their partisanship WAY down.

Our elected officials should be free to practice for a charity ballgame without fear of being shot.

Anyone who cannot see how wrong this is and not inject politics into it needs to take a long, hard look at what they really care about.

People are more important that politics.

Or our 401K's.

I was trying to be gender neutral. Are you saying the good police officers are not the good guys ?

Didn't take long for the Governor to start spewing his gun control agenda. Never let a good shooting go to waste
