Feeling hopeless or out of power will certainly exacerbate it, but the Left has ALWAYS had the top rung of the leaderboard for body-count by orders of magnitude since the beginning of the 20th century, because it's ultimately an "ends justify the means" ideology. This is because the Left is obsessed with the rights of groups. Which in of itself is a negative construct, and an oxymoron, because groups don't have rights. Only individual people do. Just like how we'll sometimes nitpick and tut-tut the nominal Right whenever assertions are made about States Rights, because there is no such thing as "states rights", states may or may not have "powers" but they don't have "rights".But when you succumb to the pathology of that kind of thinking and group rights, almost any atrocity becomes possible. Because all you need to do is identify a larger needier group (in their minds at least) and any kind of deprivation, down to one's own life becomes acceptable in the name of "the greater good".
A congressional hearing scheduled for Wednesday morning to debate gun legislation has been canceled until further notice in the wake of Wednesday's shooting at a Republican congressional baseball practice....The measure would make it easier to purchase silencers, transport guns across state lines and ease restrictions on armor-piercing bullets
I did hear a comment that the main reason men with guns were there to oppose the guy was that one of the Republicans had a security detail.
Apparently this is his facebook, https://m.facebook.com/james.hodgkinson.568?tsid=0.009623089090398995&source=result&hc_location=ufi Which is fully of Bernie support and anti-Trump. If true, then this might be lucky for us as the shooting will get dropped from the media pretty quick.
I think the other Congressmen said that only leadership travels with a security detail. The Majority Whip was the one shot in the hip.
Glad I bought another AR while they're still cheap. I should get a few thousand rounds of ammo while the deals from yesterday are still live.
What, that *expletive deleted*hole who gunned down what, 12 officers, killing 5, in Dallas wasn't a leftist-generated terrorist? Oh, wait, no, he was a BLM activist. Totally different.

Is he going to the gun show, to get a ghost gun?
Interesting that Sanders himself has acknowledged the shooter was one of his volunteers.
She blocked me. Her "The fact is that right wingers out number left mass shootings 50 to 1"Me "You made that *expletive deleted*it up, come back with real facts."BLOCKED! A mutual friend then posted screen captures of her bragging how we wouldn't accept her "facts" and she blocked me.
""The gun was a semiautomatic," Brooks said. "It continued to fire at different people. You can imagine, all the people on the field scatter.""No you simpleminded -----, the shooter continued to fire, the gun didn't do a damn thing by itself.
But he immediately blamed NRA for corrupting the purity of his socialist beliefs, right?
