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.
Read about the violent Facebook groups to which the shooter belonged on the next page:
There are words and there are actions.
Only fools and children can’t tell the difference.
The mentally ill are prohibited from buying guns and always have been. Stow the b******t.
Remember when the traitors of the Republican party took up arms and tried to kill democrat leaders?
Me neither.
SO…FB ALLOWS THIS ON….BUT NOT THE TRUTHSAYERS…… ???? WTH!

Burt Gummerfan They prey on society’s most venerable. They prey on those who need support most for power, wealth and political gain. Blacks, hispanics, the poor, Muslims, gays, workers and basically any underdog. They disgust me at this point. You keep cheer on the rich and the control of the republicans and more people will be coming out with their pitchforks knives guns anything they have to fight for their fucking American dream
