"Those who have better ideas in a democracy should not have to shoot people to promote them."

Y'know, you may have inadvertently hit on a piece of the overall problem. Our form of government isn't supposed to be a Democracy but a Republic. Democracies usually become Socialistic because of the "greater good" idea.
Maybe if we had a real Republic and a Republican form of government, as is "promised" in the Constitution, fewer people would feel the need to shoot civil servants to make their point.

This guy went over the edge. He is no hero. He was a murderer, plain and simple.

Such as the NRA's "guns at the workplace" push to further erode property rights.
