Nothing comfortable about assassinating presidential candidates and encouraging people to start civil wars.

I just don't believe in burning #### down, at least until a few facts are established.

More often than not, the competent ones lean right. Kinda comes with the territory.

Agreed. Don’t go all BLM.

Didn’t the Dems recently have a bill that would strip SS protection from Trump? They are probably so disappointed today.

Stop what? One side has a lot more guns and hasn’t started using them. Just admit that the rhetoric on the left went too far and one of their crazies took it to heart. You really can’t compare both sides at this point.

No thanks.

Did Loughner even know? Or care? And were Republicans calling for her assassination? Apples and oranges.

Just a matter of time before MSM and Dems claim it was a false flag event.

Nope. Loughner was a drug addicted schizo who friends and family said had no interest in politics. And he was a mass shooter, not an assassin with a target.

Leftist politicians are not being assassinated.

None of this is a surprise. The left has been riling up their side for two years. “Get in their face”, running Rs out of restaurants, showing up at their houses, “we will do whatever it takes.” At least leftists are mostly unfamiliar with guns and shooting.

One minute he’s a gun grabber and the next minute he’s pushing a radical right wing agenda. You people need to make up your damn minds.

But those on the right are the extremists.

Amen

So the 2A details and rhetoric were trimmed. I don’t see how that equates to Trump is a closet gun grabber, as some on here apparently believe.

I don’t remember the last time I heard anyone in my circle bitching about abortion. Economy, inflation, crime, don’t start WW3, stop the border madness, woke DAs. Bigger fish to fry…

Item 7 of the platform says defend the right to keep and bear arms. Am I missing something?

It’s way down the list of priorities for a lot of people.

Well, not too long ago, many a Democrat/liberal talked about curbing illegal immigration and having an actual border, making welfare a second chance as opposed to a way of life, and ending the era of big government. Liberals used to have some (or at least pretended to have some) beliefs in common with conservatives. Now they talk like socialists. I'm glad they toned down the abortion rhetoric. I don't like it, but I don't see why either side blows so much political capital on it.

I think you are on to something. They didn't go berserk with abortion stuff either. Maybe trying to win over a few middle-of-the-road voters. What a concept.

Just because nobody started a conversation about your gun doesn’t mean they didn’t notice. I bet somebody took note.

I'm glad we have open carry for this reason, but most of the OCers I see are Fudd-types or wannabes who could probably be disarmed by my daughter. A crap holster and no situational awareness make a lousy combination.

I suspect that if the shooter were some neo-nazi who shot up a minority school, all this hand-wringing and stonewalling about a manifest wouldn't exist. And a week later it would be Trump's fault.

Not sure if it was just the theater where we were, but Horizon had two quick previews that lasted 6-8 minutes total.
