God forbid I am ever in that situation-have no clue what I would do.

But as an observer I would think goibg inside the dugout for shelter is not the wisest choice. Fish in a barrel.

They were in a rush. It's obviously a typo for "Majority Whip".

Yeah, I could see it being autocorrect.

I seriously doubt he shoots.

Thanks for the info. It seems non-shooters often don't understand that a semi-auto will fire just as fast as you can pull the trigger, and just because it sounds to be rapid-fire, it doesn't mean full-auto.

FNC:
The Scalise security detail was not in uniform.

Gingrich, FOXBusiness:
I’m curious how Scalise shooter knew where the practice was.

I heard a rebroadcast, and it was both Brooks and another congressman that applied the tourniquet to stop the bleeding of the staffer.

Stuart Varney had judge Napolitano spewing NYC shaded talking points. He has become a Geraldo level “need to change the channel” person.

The Judge has became a paid shill haven't seen such a change in a person since David Brock or Arianna Huffington.

I remember that he got relieved of his duties a few months back, then returned as a new man.

I'm watching CNN. And you are right, they are desperately hoping for some other motive.

What other motive could it be - the guy asked to make sure it was Republicans before opening fire.

The Punk Terry McAuliffe just played the Gun Control card at the press conference.

That was fast, even for them.

Interesting.

Gov. McAuliffe is a disgrace.

We learned nothing from this presser.

"What does it tell you that 50 shots were fired and only 5 victims?"

It tells me the people started running and taking cover. Unless you are an experienced hunter (and even then) it's very difficult to hit a moving target from any kind of distance.

Absolutely nothing.

They called the Press Conference basically to say "We can't confirm anything"

Easy question so early this morning. All of it.

Must Read. Dennis Prager is right. The violence of the Left is one of our greatest threats today.

Dennis Prager wrote this one month ago.
