Try rethinking your comments & posts and come up with a better view of who carries a gun and who doesn’t. Knowledge is a powerful tool and a gun is only a weapon used to kill as in so many cases around the country. No other country in the world has as many gun deaths and shootings as the US, yet they survive. Guns don’t gain respect they create fear; knowledge, understand and working with others has better results.


.
This all good if we speaking to level head folks. As we all know we get those knuckle heads who just want to make a deadly point. Having a fire arm require much thought. Where to carry, the threat level of an area., but in the end crime can happen anywhere and we do live in a free society.


In Virginia however it is a pretty well secure area and there is a cop on every corner practically. In this instance with the security team there and the response time of 2 mins. There is not much the PD or the Sheriffs Department could have done to have a better outcome.


Al of this is go except if this Man thought their could be some with a side arm, just maybe he would of thought twice.


More gun Laws would not of helped. This guy would purchased a weapon the back door method.


His political and racialization of the Left tipped this guy over the edge.

As Liberal Socialist try to take out 2nd Amendment Rights away.

I hope regular Dems will stand up police their own party. If they are looking for a fight, they just might be surprised.

This shooter was a Berne worker and Hos face book directly wanted to kill Trump and anyone who supports the President.
Griffin holds Trump (stage prop) of acceptability of beheading the President

The Play where Trump is attacked and stabbed.

What is wrong with the Left?
There is nothing wrong with the left that isn't wrong with the right. Americans are all Americans. We all act much alike no matter what our political philosophies may be.

In America, every action is met with an equal and opposite reaction. Always has, always will be.

Did the Republicans police themselves when some of them displayed pictures of Obama being lynched? Nope. Did those pictures stop you from voting the way you voted? I don't think so.

Expecting one side not to fight back is fantasy in this political climate. The fact is there are just as many liberals who hold violent thoughts on conservatives as vice versa. If you think liberals don't love guns just as much as conservatives, or are just as willing to fight, you are being foolish.

And the play you mentioned wasn't about Donald Trump. It was Shakespeare's Julius Caesar! Caesar has been stabbed to death in the last act for over 400 years now, and everyone already knows how the ending goes unless the have lived all their lives under a rock in the wilderness.

It was only done in modern costume, but that's nothing new either. Dozens of Shakespeare's plays have been done in modern dress. And every single play is only a play.

Trump was not harmed at all in it. Neither was the actor who played Caesar. It's all only a play. The actor who portrayed Caesar didn't even look like Trump, except for the blonde hair. Few actors who portray Caesar actually like like the real guy. Big deal.

They always have.

Do you think only conservatives went out and bought guns in the last big gun panic? Silly boy.

Not everyone brags about buying a gun do they? No. But they do go buy 'em quietly. And no one ever asks what their politics are at the sales counters.

How many times have you attended a gun show and asked anyone there what their political affiliations are? Or gone into a gun store and asked that question?

Don't be foolish. You presume far more than you actually know.

The OP has simply posted a thread which from the continued comments he/she have made provide a political divide between left & right without taking “any” consideration as to the individual gunmen’s personal lack of clear thinking. The shooter's lack of clear thinking overrides any political views he may have had. No one with rational thoughts carries a rife and or other weapons to a baseball field and lays in wait for an opportunity to kill, political views (left – right) are no longer part of clear thinking. The large majority of logical clear thinking citizens (left & right) don’t go to public events with guns.

So you want to hold an Illinois senator responsible for violence in Chicago? Ok so then you must also hold Jerry Moran and Pat Roberts responsible for the wrecked economy in Kansas?

If we let the Chicago PD do their job instead of seeing them clean up the mess. Its so bad their they practical have to get permission to leave the parking Garage.


Let Citizens have CCW and have their own Home defense.




But he Left chooses to support the Thug factor. That is the problem.
