The "good guys" were POLICE, who SHOULD have guns.

Guys I think I found the fascist. Be careful it's my understanding there are groups who like to punch fascist.
No one is pointing out that it's probably some sort of Flag Day protest?

Any news on whether the shooter is Muslim?
Maybe not a Muslim but the shooter was definitely democrat.
He is with her.

More like 99.9999999999999999999%.
What are the odds that 50-100 shots are fired, and NO ONE is killed???

This happened in Alexandria VA, not DC. The Capitol Police had no clear jurisdiction or authority for what they did.
http://edition.cnn.com/2017/06/14/politics/alexandria-virginia-shooting/index.html“I can tell you, that I think with absolute certainty, nobody would have survived without the Capitol Hill Police.†Paul told CNN.
“They saved everybody’s life. Incredibly brave and deserve everyone’s praise, because, with this guy, who knows what his — how heavily armed he was, but nobody else had a weapon.†Paul added.
“So, he was just killing everyone — he would have. … They deserve our gratitude for saving — it would have been a massacre without them.†the Senator urged.

50+ shots? That's a lot. None of them had guns of their own? I thought they were big "2nd Amendment" folks, and calculated the best way to deal with an active shooter was to take them out.
Even if the GOPers weer armed they could not respond to take out an active shooter. They "2nd Amendment" supporter myth was just shot down.
The House decided to not hold any votes on legislation Wednesday, and many hearings were delayed. The House Natural Resources Federal Lands Subcommittee also canceled a scheduled meeting to debate gun legislation.

Not according to the CDC. Guns are 17 times more likely to prevent a death than to cause one.

Not definite at all. He could be a stiffed Trump worker. Or a non-voter tired for GOP BS. Or a Republican whose heathcare is about to vanish.

Why would the CDC care? Are guns a disease?

No not at all. But Obama signed an executive order which allowed the CDC to collect data, which I suspect he thought would be damning. However, when the CDC released the positive correlation the gun ownership and crime prevention the news never reported on it.

What the hell are you talking about? Oh wait, was that supposed to be funny?
How sad that people posting on here are so callous as to miss the point that innocent adults practicing in an open field were "ambushed" by some nut. All the rest of the tripe being posted is dog poop. Are all of you so shallow?
Here's the report.

Just like the American people who the GOP are "ambushing" with their multiple TrumpCare pass attempts. Or the GOP "ambushing" women and not allowing them to get abortions.
DId anyone notice how sexist this shooter was? Probably there are ZERO women playing the baseball game.

All white males at that.
The shooter is a WHITE, 66-year-old man from the RED STATE of Illinois.
