It doesn't matter how many schoolchildren are murdered every day.

But let one conservative be shot at, then there's a problem? Gee, gosh.

a conservative has been shot, maybe enough conservatives will be on the receiving end of guns to finally, maybe, perhaps, I doubt it, to understand that maybe unlimited guns aren't such a good idea, after all. Wonder how many such gun deaths it will take? As many each day as are shot in schools, I suppose.

No, it does not seem to matter to a group of the republicans and magats that vote with them.

What's a good quote that sums this up? Hmmmm.....

"I think it’s worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the second amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational."

It would actually be sad if this particular murder resulted in actual gun laws, but that won't happen. l only wonder how many more such deaths/murders must happen for people to actually care.
