BREAKING: Gunman opens fire on GOP congressional baseball team practice session

[Brian4Liberty]

In case you have missed the coverage, it's important to know that this guy was a Bernie Sanders supporter. He was not a Hillary supporter. Probably not even a Democrat. A crazy Bernie supporter.

this is why liberals want gun control, so the rest of us can't protect ourselves from them. psychopaths

Leftists are the most violent, intolerant people on the planet. These shooting are overwhelmingly done by leftists. Almost all vandalism and riots are done by leftists.

When your whole ideology is based on using government violence to promote your social outcomes, it isn't a far leap to use violence on your own against people who get in the way of promoting your ideology.

That's probably why they are afraid of letting people have firearms. They know they couldn't be trusted with them so they think nobody should be trusted with them.

Prolly a "gun-free zone."

Yup the right is just full of bigots the left literally wants to kill you and turn your unborn children into skin cream

The shooting of Gabrielle Gifford was blamed on putting a crosshair on a political map. I wonder what event we'll see justified with pictures like this.

I'm adding another prophetic quote to my sig.

You can expect a new push for gun control after this...

Funny the shooting at UPS facility dovetailing with this incident

Count on it.

The difference is, they will probably get it this time.

I most certainly can see the GOP crimping and folding in the face of progressive caterwauling that will follow in the weeks to come.

"Union" Home Inspector? Da fuq? Every inspector I know is self-employed and definitely not leftist.

Doesn't sound like he was a Union man.

Hodgkinson's wife told ABC News that he had been living in Alexandria, Virginia, for the past two months. Illinois secretary of state corporate records show that he had voluntarily dissolved his home inspection business, JTH Services Inc., in December.

FBI Special Agent in Charge Tim Slater said at a Wednesday evening press conference that since March Hodgkinson had been living out of his vehicle -- a white cargo van -- in Alexandria.

Sen. Bernie Sanders, D-Vt., said that Hodgkinson supported his bid for the presidency.

"I have just been informed that the alleged shooter at the Republican baseball practice is someone who apparently volunteered on my presidential campaign. 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," Sanders said this morning on the Senate floor.

A Facebook profile believed to have belonged to Hodgkinson included a number of posts related to politics, some of which were critical of Trump. In some, Hodgkinson labelled Trump a traitor and called for him to be impeached. The profile has since been removed from Facebook.

In March, Hodgkinson met with sheriff's deputies in Illinois after they received calls that he fired 50 shots on his property. He had a valid firearms owner's identification card, and authorities determined that no law was violated.

Another incident took place in 2006, involving alleged domestic battery and unlawful discharge of a shotgun. That case was dismissed.

Separately, Hodgkinson had an extensive history of traffic violations and petty offenses in St. Clair County, Illinois, spanning from 1989 to 2011, according to online county court records. The vast majority of the cases were traffic violations, and nearly all of them were dismissed. The most recent conviction on his record was for a petty offense of failure to obtain an electrical contractor's license in 2009.

I'm not even a big fan of Scalise, but I'd love to play by this rule. By my estimation, there is plenty of karma to go around.

But muh regulations..

But muh regulations..

Why should a good liberal like him have to play by the rules his side created? Those are set up to keep "Righty" down.

 

[Anti Federalist]

Violence of any kind is unacceptable in our society

Unless you are a government enforcer.

Being unarmed while only the socialists are armed is our idea of a good time...?

They might push it, but the gunman didn't even have a permit from Illinois where he resided. He also had a pretty big rap sheet. He was also a Bernie Sander's supporter.
