http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing- ... tice-fieldRand Paul says at least 50 shots fired over 10 minutes "If not for Capitol Hill Police it would have been a massacre." (Scalise is one of few high ranking congressmen who rate a small security detail). Gunman asked if they were Democrats or Republicans before opening fire. A "multiple shooting" was reported early Wednesday at a congressional baseball game practice field in Alexandria, Va. ABC 7 News reported a "multiple shooting" in the 400 block of E. Monroe Street. The suspect is "believed in custody," ABC reported, according to Alexandria police. GOP Whip Steve Scalise and two Capitol Police officers on protective detail were shot, according to multiple reports A reporter from Fox News also tweeted that staffers were hit.

Shooter asked a rep who was leaving before the shooting started "Is that Republicans or democrats practicing?"
Then opened fire upon learning they were republicans.

House Majority Whip Steve Scalise and Rep. Roger Williams were shot and multiple congressional aides were also hit by a gunman with a rifle who opened fire at a GOP baseball practice in Virginia Wednesday morning, Fox News confirmed.
The gunman was shot by U.S. Capital Police, apprehended and taken to the hospital, officials said. Sen. Mike Lee told Fox News, however, the gunman was dead.

If this shooter happens to be one of those Antifa / radical left anarchist types I hope the push comes to classify them as Domestic Terrorists.
The "news" and the celebrities on the left that have been pushing this violence towards Trump and the Republican party should know that their bullcrap is going to have to stop.

Anyone remember not too long ago how the dems were crying whenever a repub would use any sort of verbiage that was construed as violent language?
Heh.
Dems don't take losing very well.
We may see a Civil War part 2 in our lifetimes. Pick your side wisely.

The correct response is needed... and this is the first time in ages that I can have a reality-based hope that our direct speaking President can actually deliver.
The incorrect response is to react in a fear-based manner and talk about restricting our RIGHTS to help us feel safer. The correct response is to decry the violence against unarmed people, and ask the question : "How would this have been different if the people practicing had been responsible for their own safety and had been armed?" Let's hope that our President has given some thought to this and has good solid advisors on the topic.

Feinstein, that Paleolithic twat who's beyond the point of wringing a single original thought out of her tired old corpse, came out running her anti-gun suck almost immediately. Lindsey Graham had a rather to-the-point response: Quote: 'We've got plenty of gun laws,' Graham told a Bloomberg reporter. 'I own a gun. I don't go around shooting people with it.'
'People get shot, run over by cars, stabbed, it's just a crazy world,' he said. 'If we had that debate it'd end like it always ends. We're not going to tell law-abiding people they can't own a gun because of some nut-job.'
Quoted from this article -- http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4603404/Steve-Scalise-aides-SHOT-baseball-practice.html in the Daily Mail.

Just surveyed 4 lib media outlets, not one is mentioning that this was a rabid lin Bernie supporter and that the guy asked if they were republicans first. Several of these rags are now spinning propaganda about gun control.
Unfortunately when government officials get shot Congress is most likely to pass gun laws. Remember Brady? We need to call up our Congressmen and tell them to stand strong.

The left is without boundaries. The press continues to run guard for the left, no this is Trump's fault naturally.
