Hmm, gonna be a real hoot to see the GOP response to this. What are they going to do, advocate for gun control? Doubtful. Can't do the Black Panther response of taking guns only from "those" sorts of people to keep "good" people safe since it was apparently a white guy. I don't think America is that far gone that we can take guns from people based on political affiliation because that might actually be something that triggers the "tyranny" response from noticeable numbers of the Trump base.

May you live in interesting times indeed.

They are going to unironically, unreflectively say that the atmosphere of hate and intolerance pushed by left wing media is to blame - i.e. the exact thing that they say is not to blame every time a conservative shoots up, say, a holocaust museum.

Listened to five minutes of Rush today and the "hot take" was something along the lines of

"Friends, you know and I know that this shooting was all caused by the liberal media using inflamatory remarks about Trump"

Aaaand there it is.

Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), in a suit and tie, stopped by the crime scene to pray, and was viscerally angry about his colleagues being attacked.

“America has been divided,” he said, “and the center of America is disappearing, and the violence is appearing in the streets, and it’s coming from the left.” King indicated that it was impossible to separate the hyperpartisan climate in Washington — especially people protesting Trump — and Republican members of Congress being gunned down at a baseball practice.

“The divisions within the country, people that can’t accept the results of the election that are determined to try to take this country down, take this organization down,” King said. “This city was filled up with demonstrations the day after the inauguration, where you couldn’t drive down the streets.”

Aaaand there it is.

People still listen to Rush Limbaugh? Is this 1996?

One of the congressmen on scene actually had the most cogent response when asked about gun control. Basically, "the reaction to an abuse of liberty should not be a restriction of that liberty". He used the first and fourth amendments as examples.

It was actually a pleasant surprise to hear a reasonable argument after such an event instead of reactionary calls for instant action or...whatever it is Rush does.

Also, the shooter is from Belleville, IL. There's a picture of him protesting in front of the post office just a stone's throw from the Scott AFB downtown clinic.

I like when it's a school shooting or some such other most nut jobs go immediately to, "FALSE FLAG CRISIS ACTORS INSIDE JOB GUBMENT TAKE OUR GUNS!", but if you shoot a GOP congressmen it's suddenly, "Obviously this is a fringe element whipped into a frenzy of intolerance by media"

I prefer victim blaming. I mean if these congressmen were in a shall issue state, they would have been armed to protect themselves.

They're going to use this to cut off a huge chunk of public access to any part of the legislative branch. Where Giffords tried and (largely) failed to get new legislation on the books after her shooting, the GOP is going to harp on security concerns and the intolerant left to throw another level of sneakiness on their political dealings. Kind of seeing it already, in the article below- between the "we need more security", and the "Congressmen need to be armed" is a whole lot of "we can't trust the public".

Can't wait for congress to get militarized like the police have become.

E: someone also brought up a good point about optics if (and that's a big "if") some reasonable gun legislation gets passed as a result. Basically congress will only do anything if they are at risk, but not sayyyyy an elementary school full of children.
