Steve Scalise shot in Virginia, aide also hit

So a democrat congressman wrote this a few minutes ago on Facebook Christopher Orzechowski It wasn't fatal and he voted in support of legislation that will kick 23+ million people off of insurance and raising insurance costs/removing protections for consumers, killing an untold amount of people. It's unfortunate but it is also hard to feel bad for him. He also voted against gun control legislation

There is no congressman by that name.

Did you advocate that for the right after the dozen right wing attacks in the last ten years?

He was stopped by people that would have had guns no matter what. He wasn't stopped by civilians with AR-15s.

But he could have been.

[Rukh]

It stopped the shooting from continuing. Good guys with guns saved the day. The point is that being armed and being able to return fire makes survival much more likely. This is why gun free zones, that restrict concealed/open carry, are much more dangerous. If this guy wasn't stopped how many would've died?

Good guys that would still have guns. The difference would be that the guy who started shooting might have been possibly deterred from having a gun. In this specific case gun control is all upside and no downside. Its pretty clear that having more guns is not stopping gun violence.

He could be from the far right. lol

Probably is. I'd bet $50.

There is no parallel or study that even comes close to validating this statement. If you look at statistics, gun crime is higher in places where there are more stringent rules to gun ownership. I'm not going to cite a source as it is a fact that has been beaten to death. Take Chicago for instance, the most strict rules to gun ownership, also the most gun related crime. If you actually want a source to go along with it, check literally everywhere else beyond where you got your initial information.

Yeah, that isn't a fact. You are wrong:

"Our review of the academic literature found that a broad array of evidence indicates that gun availability is a risk factor for homicide, both in the United States and across high-income countries. Case-control studies, ecological time-series and cross-sectional studies indicate that in homes, cities, states and regions in the U.S., where there are more guns, both men and women are at a higher risk for homicide, particularly firearm homicide."

[Stormspellz]

The guy asked a congressman who was leaving... Are those Dems or Republicans?

So the leftist media and Hollywood spend months whipping up #fake news inspired rage.
For months that the mainstream media’s hysterical anti-Trump narrative and the left’s insistence that Trump is illegitimate will radicalize demented social justice warriors and prompt them to lash out with violence.
It looks like that’s exactly what happened today. The blood is on their hands.

The media, the left and Hollywood must stop legitimizing violence and return to the realm of civil discussion and proper tone.

Time to declare Antifa, Hollywood, and Leftists a terror organization and treat them like ISIS

Thats some mental gymnastics, if repeating Trumps words, and reporting on the republican legislation is "hysterical" sign me the fuck up!! No one is denying that Trump one the electoral collage, "not my president" isn't a literal statement, its to the FACT that he didn't win the popular vote (and by a significant amount).

The media, "left", and hollywood don't legitimize violence.

[Bullettime]

Yeah there's no clue which side he fell onto until he gets interrogated. Fox is jumping the gun.

All we know about the guy is he was a white middle aged man, speculated 46-50, and committed the shooting an M4. That's it.

[NineSpine]

But he could have been.

He could have been stopped by wild lions, but that's not a reason to allow wild lions loose.

When you are a victim, you think you really give a shit about statistics?

What about Bears? Can we let bears loose? I mean this is Virginia and if the bear gets loose in a school....

Wait wrong thread.

Nailed it.

Wild lions can run about and kill randomly with no motive in mind except to kill for food or eliminate competition. Poor example. :P

What exactly is your argument? That you get to lie about statistics if you can come out with counter-hypotheticals?

Washington DC has someone the strictest gun control in the country.

Why are 99% of gun homicides not used by rifles? Hint big and scary sounding doesn't mean more dangerous. If I'm ever being chased by a shooter, I'd rather he have an automatic rifle than a semi automatic pistol

Is Washington D C on a fucking island where guns can't logically get from another state where there aren't strict gunlaws?

[Dug]

I just want to keep you partisans out of the meme sphere. That is my realm.

All yours muh dude. I'm not woke enough to even consider it

Why weren't the republican congressmen armed to the teeth? the way they love guns I would think they would be armed and ready for this kind of situation.

[Moshots]

And I'm gonna bet it's some 25yo who own at least 2 BLM t-shirts 1 not my president shirts and is part of the weaponized Democrat movement ie antifa/ECT.....

As I recall, Republicans made sure there are laws on the books that ban guns within their vicinity.

Freak shit happens. My question is why the fuck would someone even answer his question in this political climate?
