After the shooting of several D.C. staffers and Rep. Steve Scalise, many Democrats turned immediately to the issue of gun control — Virgina Governor Terry McAuliffe among them.
That should be expected. Going after guns is the intellectually simple way to respond to a shooting. If there are no guns, the logic goes, there can’t be gun violence.
Of course, that ignores a pesky little thing called the Second Amendment and the fact that getting rid of guns would be virtually impossible.
But there is an even simpler way to solve the problem of gun violence — and it would actually work. Maybe, before the left takes guns away from law-abiding citizens, they should be looking for people who engage in violent political groups on social media.
That seems reasonable enough — and it could have saved Rep. Scalise and his colleagues from this week’s vicious attack.

What a coward and scum bag. Want to shoot someone do it old style face to face one on one, not hiding behind a brick wall.
How many more loonies are there in this group

Republican ever wonder why they want to kill you , Could it be something you said ,In your speech ,Better look and listen people your jobs are on the one ,God Bless our USA God Bless our President
Well, it appears that it didn’t turn out too well. Pathetically evil and sick, it’s quite apparent that some people will go to any lengths to make a point (in spite of injuring and or murdering people) who do not think, nor agree with their twisted psychotic actions, and or beliefs. Sore losers and afraid and nutting up by the minute. May the powers of GOD, & morality of these lost angry souls be helped, if possible.
BURN IN HELL YOU SICK BASTARD !!!!!!!!!!!
Once again there is no justification for violence with the exception of self defense.. this was not self defense it was an assault on defenseless people…It must be condemned by all. Thank God the police did their job in taking this lunatic out.
Just another coward trying to make some idiotic statement….
