    What’s crazy to me is that it completely usurped the assassination attempt. Nobody is talking about that now. A candidate for president was nearly killed and two weeks later it’s like it didn’t happen.

      Part of that is to really talk about the assassination attempt, you need to talk about gun control.

      Because the shooter was the classic school shooter. A conservative gun nut who didn’t fit in with his more liberal classmates.

      He just graduated before blowing his load.

      The GOP literally cannot spin that in a way that lets them keep pushing for more guns, so they just don’t talk about it.

        Daily reminder that Reagan passed gun control laws in California because the Black Panthers were armed.
