Well, there was at least one democrat who was pro-gun.

Rep. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., told Fox News he left just before the shooting. As he walked to his car, a man asked DeSantis if it was Republicans or Democrats practicing. About three minutes the shooting began, DeSantis said.
The shooting began at 7:15 a.m. and lasted about 10 minutes, sources told Fox News.


:-k

Man is this what things have come to? :-&

This is sick.

yep... gunman dead.. maybe he left a note....


but it's the AR-15's fault it happened... 🤦

Prayers from me. We need to ratchet things down a bit.

true... he most likely thought he was doing the world a favor... some people believe everything they hear... they busted a dude earlier this week in DC with a gun and ammo and stuff... I think they let him go tho.. 🤔

you can only sell so much fear, hate and hysteria before guns decide to go out and shoot someone

And some other idiot out there is thinking this was a good idea... for the resistance and stuff.. 😟

This is an act of terrorism The amount of people who do not value human life astounds me.

We really don't know what or why yet. Simply prayers from me.

true.. true... very sad day... gotta wonder if he had been told they were Democrats on the field if it woulda happened tho.. 😟

I am not implying terrorism in the ISIS mode. The act itself is one of terror.

ISIS wouldn't have asked Party Affiliation.. 😟

isis just wants jobs donchaknow

Yeah if arabia wouldn't be so **** there wouldn't be ISIS.

“political rhetorical terrorism”... 🤔

Bernie volunteer

A gunman believed to be a supporter of former Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders sprayed a hail of bullets at a GOP baseball practice Wednesday morning, injuring House Majority Whip Steve Scalise and four others before U.S. Capitol Police took down the rifle-wielding assailant.

The shooter, who had a violent history including arrests for battery, resisting arrest and drunken driving, was identified as 66-year-old James T. Hodgkinson, of Illinois, Fox News confirmed. President Trump said Hodgkinson died from injuries sustained when he was shot by police.

"I have just been informed that the alleged shooter at the Republican baseball practice is someone who apparently volunteered on my presidential campaign," Sanders said in a statement. "I am sickened by this despicable act. Let me be as clear as I can be. Violence of any kind is unacceptable in our society and I condemn this action in the strongest possible terms."

President Trump addressed the nation before noon and revealed Hodgkinson died in police custody.



Stupid bassard... 🤐
