Did he imperil recent progress with regards to gun rights, and is the HPA now in danger?

Nah. False flag. Trumpkin needs public empathy, his poll numbers being at an all time low, so this guy made the big sacrifice for the team. His membership in 'Terminate the Republican Party' and previous volunteerism for Sanders a thin cover for his eventual calling up in the name of his true party. Note that the shooter, having fired by some accounts 'more than 50' and others 'at least 100' rounds, lasting between 5 and 10 minutes, didn't manage to kill anyone. He was the only one silenced. The placement at a warm-up for a charity event couldn't have been better scripted. Watch Trump's numbers start to rise - essential for him now as the investigations stir up a lot of things he really doesn't want stirred up.

Of course the above is pure fiction, mere satirical conjecture. But is it any sillier than the avalanche of virtually identical fictions spouted by Trump and his party? Or the drivel propagated by idiots like Alex Jones? And why isn't anyone on the Right talking about John McCain being checked into a nursing home, as his Alzheimer's is plainly becoming dangerously advanced?

But yes, Hodgkinson's obviously a jackass. I mean, who but a flaming jackass would open fire at a charity baseball event, no matter who's on the field? Only selfish pricks and imbeciles go on shooting rampages - basically anyone idiotic enough to join ISIS or other terrorist groups, any domestic racist, sexist, or other-ist haters who seem to believe that bullets will help their absurd causes. Mass shootings are the last resort of dimwitted crazy people who really ought to have been engaged in finding mental health experts to get them straightened out.

Are you capable of anything but an endless stream of bullshit?

Is the Republican party capable of anything but theft and arrogance, piled on top of an infinitely tall heap of rotting bullshit?

I'm waiting to see if the lib's get emboldened enough to try something.

I'm sure they're trying to sort out their emotions right now. On the upside military style "assault" rifle potshots at government officials they all want out of office anyway. On the downside ... hmmm no downside yet from the lib point of view except maybe not enough victims and we don't know if any of the guns were obtained "illegally" yet.

I'm sure the lib's believe they are staring at a flush draw and hoping it will be a straight flush. But they've been burned by going All-In before when they didn't even realize the game wasn't poker. I'm sure they're thinking this is a once in a lifetime chance and they don't want to blow it.

Jackass? Really? A man shoots unarmed people and that's the worst name you could think of? That tells me you've become a bit to blase to these mass shootings.

Also, it is interesting to see a left wing fanatic going postal. It's usually right wing fanatics, but the way things are turning I wouldn't be surprised to see more incidents like this in the future.

It is usually right wing fanatics? Please clarify.

When you reference "right wing" I assume are you including muhamadans and canucks in that computation?

I consider religious nutjobs right-wing.

I'm not saying left wingnuts can't turn to terror, we've seen a lot of this in past times. But when it comes to lone shooters in later years I have the distinct impression most are right wing fanatics.

Potty mouth gets the nanny treatment here. Freedom of speech is an abstraction for many.

Mmmm, nope.

Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Che Geuverra, Ho Chi Minh, Hitler, Ceauvesceau, Tito, Peron, shall I go on? The most violent people out there, large and small, tend to be left wing. They tried to claim Harris and Klebold were right wing, nope, leftys. Buford Furrow was a socialist. The DC snipers were dims.

Want a violent lunatic? Look left.
