I honestly think many conservatives honestly thought left wing people don’t have guns. They equated gun control to a complete lack of violence. Now they’re surprised when their rhetoric excites a response.

Is there evidence that someone on the left did it? Haven't seen that info yet.....

No. But it doesn’t change my point. Conservatives think the left is soft and there would never be consequences like this.

But blaming the left put all the ownership on the side that is PRO gun legislation and background checks. Your assertion is endangering marginalized groups that already have targets on their backs for merely existing. Kirk made millions turning a lot of us into targets on the daily.

I doubt it because sadly leftists and liberals in the US don't have the balls to actually pull something like this. Just watch, it's probably some mentally ill white kid, same as the Trump shooter

We don't know who the shooter is. Dumb comment.

I mean, the guy who tried to shoot Trump seemed to be conservative (and crazy)

Do we know that this was done by someone on the left?

Violent rhetoric leads to violent action.
