Is Trump to blame for the shooting of the congressman and others ?

Republican Rep. Mark Sanford (S.C.) suggested Thursday on MSNBC's Morning Joe that President Trump may be "partially" to blame for the anger and political hostility that led alleged shooter James Hodgkinson to gun down a congressional baseball practice Wednesday morning. "I would argue the president has unleashed, partially — again not in anyway totally — but partially to blame for demons that have been unleashed," Sanford said.

I think that there is some truth in this in the sense that nobody can deny Trump has increased political tensions. This is dodgy territory to talk about though.

Imagine a right wing nut job doing the same thing and a Republican blaming it on Obama.

@Burnley123: I can, because they would. But this accusation was also made by a Republican.

@MasterLee: no shit...
I actually know the history..
The rifle was an integral part of the colonial Life... sustenance hunting
And protecting family and home..
AR-15s are not muzzle loaders..

You realize that if you are taking ADHD meds( Methlyphenedate)..you can't serve in the armed forces.

However, you can leave the recruiters office, drive to a gun shop and buy an AR15 then return to the recruiter's office and shoot it up...

Any thinking person sees the flaw there...

@thoughtcriminal: yes since when everyone had a gun back then, no one committed these acts. Yes I see it.

@MasterLee: it must hurt to be as fucked up stupid as you seem to be..

Muzzle loader. Vs AR15...

You are a thinker..

Did the kid responsible for Sandy Hook need access to the weapons he had.. beyond a parenting failure...

@thoughtcriminal: You do have a strong emotion, non thinking streak in you.

SW-User

@MasterLee: I have a post on my use of profanity...I am not an emotional sort..I do call out flawed thinking..

You spew flawed thinking..

Tell me how my analogy is incorrect..
It's not..

@thoughtcriminal: It is but no reason to debate your closed mind. Carry on.

@MasterLee: nice deflection..
