    Our Governor is a joke. What really disappointed me was Rand Paul stating that he thought he gunshots sounded like they were coming from an "AR15 style assault weapon". Under the circumstances I doubt 99% of people on this board could tell the type of firearm from the sound of a gunshot or shots? Semi-auto, sure. A 5.56 versus a .308 or 30.06, maybe but an AR or AK or SKS or a Mini-14, doubtful.

    What gets me is the assault term.
    While no one ever listens to me,
    I am constantly being told to be quiet.

    His Facebook page reads, "Democratic Socialism in Three Words: 'We the People.'"

    Apparently he used an sks and a pistol.

    We all knew this day was coming. The left is completely off the rails, all the anti trump and anti R coming from the commies the past election cycle, its not a surprise. I'm surprised they can still keep a straight face while claiming the mantle of tolerance.

    Fake News Outlets are the reason behind all of these incidents, and their readers are their soldiers.

    It's only going to get worse.

    Something has to give, somewhere.

    Watched the local news on TV and there was no mention of this shooting other than a short blurb blurb when they were covering the Nationals game.

    I guess they don't want to bring the spotlight down on one of their own who was doing what they hoped he would do.

    It will be interesting to see how the GOP reacts to this, and if they cave on the second amendment. Given their recent track record, I wouldn't put it past the GOP to go full retard and pass gun control bills. I pray for all of the victims who were wounded in this left wing terrorist attack, and for Representative Scalise's recovery.

    Republicans no, Democraps ... full throttle ban guns is their mantra. BTW, it was an SKS type rifle from what I'm finding this morning.

    Looks like some of them (Dimocrats/Progressives) are openly praising the shooter for shooting Republicans.

    GOP Lawmakers Want To Carry Guns After Shooting

    Ames provided some bio: Harris’s father was a “Silicon Valley corporate lawyer turned State Department diplomat.” As for Harris himself, he “was one of the very first to capitalize on the marketing possibilities of Occupy, and how he might exploit the marketing and messaging to quickly build his own brand.” Only a month after OWS got off the ground, it turns out, Harris signed up with a speakers’ agency; when a California branch of the movement, Occupy Redlands, asked him to come address its members, Harris’s agent replied “that if they wanted to hear Malcolm Harris talk about anarchism and the 99%, they’d have to pay him a $5,000 speaking fee. Not including travel and hotel expenses.” The news that an OWS “anarchist” was trying to squeeze five-grand payments out of allied groups around the country spread like wildfire, apparently, and did not exactly make Harris a movement hero.

    Events like this are only going to get worse, I wouldn't put it past the left to organize a MASSIVE demonstration in Washington, D.C. and attempt to storm the White House and Congress in an attempt to overthrow our democratically elected government.

    Soros is probably working on that right now. After all, he does have a lot of deranged people to use.
