      The right wing media outlets are already making political hay out of it, not to mention the president's son. So yeah, I don't think they're weeping.

        DC city code:

        It is unlawful for a civilian, non-law enforcement carry licensee to concealed carry a gun within 1000 feet of a public or private day care center, elementary school, vocational school, secondary school, college, junior college, or university, or any public swimming pool, playground, video arcade, or youth center, or an event sponsored by any of the above entities unless the person lives or works within 1,000 feet of the designated areas.

          You did read statements from Rep. Duncan that he's giving to the police, about how the assailant asked which political party was practicing, yes?

              Your point is well taken, but I do see a difference between "This shooting further demonstrates the need for more gun control" and "Liberals caused this shooting".

                So far the GOP has the only jackwagon Congressman doing it:

                While most elected officials steered clear of attempting to turn breaking news about the shooting into a partisan issue, Rep. Chris Collins (R-NY) told a Buffalo radio station, “I can only hope that the Democrats do tone down the rhetoric.”

                  There's a pretty big difference between one side blaming the "libruls" and the other side that would maybe like to save a few lives here and there. All Freedom aside.

                            Perhaps Wisko thinks it's 1845.

                              The shooter will not be receiving a trial. Judge, jury, and executioner have already carried sentence.
