If the dugout was partially below field level it may have been the only place to get out of the kill zone.

You are right. CNN, MSNBC and all the networks were on the other end of that gun pulling the trigger. Filthy vermin may they rot in hell Word. Let's not forget the Obama/Hillary/Sanders voters that enabled this.

"I seriously doubt he shoots. He's a lawyer by trade. However, he's an opponent of gun control."
It's a easy mistake to make, even for semi-experienced shooters. Shooting a quality semi-auto real fast sounds like full auto fire. Also, you can put a "bump-fire" stock on an AR-15 which makes it shoot even faster. It can't hit the broad side of a barn but shoots fast.

Where did you get confirmation that he is a socialist? TIA.

Yeah, but you would expect an professional journalist to actually proof read his copy before hitting the send button.

One would expect gun and ammo sales to spike this afternoon and evening.

After that joke of a press conference, Fox cut to McConnell's short speech on the senate floor about the shooting. Of course, he had to talk about "bipartisanship." Then Schumer started talking. I yelled "STFU, Schumer" at my TV and turned it off.
I simply have no patience anymore for such people.

This guy was from Illinois, so how did he know about the Republican baseball practice in Alexandria?? And President Trump would not be there, so why did he go there, if President Trump is one he wanted to target?? I think he was hired to kill Republicans....when did he get to Alexandria, DC area, how long was he there, and did he have any papers with that address or info?

Rep Chuck Fleischmann (R-Tennessee) just told CNN it had to be an "automatic rifle" due to the barrage of bullets. Just saw a witness describe the weapon as an AK or some kind of Kalashnikov with the curved magazine. He seemed to know a little something about weapons. No full auto fire but rapid fire for sure.
