Is it really unfortunate that the guy is a Berniecrat? Gun violence can be perpetrated by anybody, and conservatives aren't any more bulletproof than the rest of us.
But seriously, there's a reason people generally don't advocate for gun control based on party affiliation, as opposed to universal controls for everyone. I'm sure Chicago and LA gangs aren't full of Christian white boys.
Yeah in the bigger scheme of things the political bent matters very little. The fact that it's not a brown is more important in terms of placing some responsibility on the absolutely divisive and dangerous divide that has been created.
didnt like 3 dem politicians resign from local races due to death threats recently? i bet republicans dont like it and wanna give this issue more attention now that they're the ones getting threatened and shot at
There is actually a strong and reasonable thread of logic in this, but please ask yourself why a GOP congressman's only real concern is whether the restrictions on ex-felons are being properly enforced.
Lawmakers reacting to the shooting Wednesday assailed the anger simmering in the country, and one Republican congressman tied the shooting to what he said was anger from the political left.
“America has been divided,” said Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), who, in suit and tie, stopped by the crime scene to pray and was viscerally angry about his colleagues being attacked. “And the center of America is disappearing, and the violence is appearing in the streets, and it’s coming from the left.”
When asked whether he thought the shooting was politically motivated, King said he did not know why the gunman did what he did, but said: “I’m really not that interested to tell you the truth. If he were on his way to the morgue, it wouldn’t make me sorry at all.”
Law enforcement officials have identified the shooter as James T. Hodgkinson III, 66, of Belleville, Ill. Police have not released any motive for the shooting or tied it to any political beliefs.
Bernie has made a statement saying the shooter volunteered on his campaign.
It's odd to call change through nonviolence a "deeply held American value" when our country was founded on violent revolt that could not have been accomplished through nonviolent means.
But there are more republicans than that in the house. However, that number may still somehow be connected to GOP members in the house. It's just not the right number.

There seems to be a deep and abiding bipartisan consensus that political violence against white men is wrong and should be condemned no matter what.

217 is the number of yes votes on the Republicare bill.
