Nah, not really.

How 'bout we all just take a minute to just say a prayer for the folks who were assaulted today. Sometimes it ain't about 2nd amendment stuff or politics, its just about people who were victimized someone evil.

So says the guy who bends over backwards in support of the party and its amoral Dear Leader who have publicly advocated for "Second Amendment solutions" and the ability of any misguided and deranged fool to get a gun to act upon such impulses.

BTW, this is the 53rd shooting of 5 or more people in this country in the past 18 months, unfortunately making it business as usual in the US. It seems to be that this is how we settle our disputes, political or otherwise.

Been there, done that. http://politicalchat.org/showthread.php?t=11759

Funny you came right out of the gate blaming libs for all that ails the body politic, Mike. As if your Dear Leader doesn't carry the overwhelming blame for the coarsening of political discourse in America today.

So typical that republicans think guns violence is a big joke until it happens to them.

Why and what makes these people any more special than countless others who have been victims of gun violence? In my opinion, these people were very fortunate to survive this shooting and should be thanking the tax payers for providing them with protection.

Yes, it took Trump three days and a lot of pressure to say anything at all regarding the right wing nutjob in Portland, who killed two Good Samaritans. Surely both lives were at least as important as these.

Hopefully you can find it in you to say the same about right wing shooters.
