They are stating "White Male" in custody. I expect another effort to ban standard semi auto magazines and modern sporting rifles within the hour. CC reciprocity pulled from consideration, etc.

"Terrorism" seems to cover a wide range nowadays. I wouldn't consider this under that umbrella. Still, money gets thrown at problems that use the word.

The word "terrorism" gets used a lot, and causes money to be thrown at problems. I wouldn't classify this event as such - based on what I know so far, which may be wrong.

Del Rey park - have OCed there more than once

Apparently, the Congressional baseball practice was at Del Rey park in Alexandria. I have Open Carried there on several occations when I lived in VA. The only comment I ever had was "thank you for carrying".
Still have not heard any Media mention that Virginia is an Open Carry state, in contrast to DC. Not clear which narrative this would serve, except that somehow the whole thing was caused by Donald Trump.

Virginia is an open carry state by default = those things not specifically restricted are legal.

The media's lack of pointing this out is just more of the same = error by omission.

  • "the fight against terrorism"

More perks for the privileged few.

This was most definitely terrorism. The shooter asked who was Republican and who was Democrat and popped a Republican. Guy was a Bernie campaigner. Put 2 and 2 together.

"Earlier Wednesday, Rep. Chris Collins, R-N.Y., said that he plans to carry a handgun at public events moving forward.

"If you look at the vulnerability, I can assure you from this day forward, I have a carrier permit. I will be carrying when I'm out and about," Collins said in a radio interview in Buffalo." (From the link above.)

New Jersey, home of RINO leader Chris Christy.

Some are "more free."

This is the problem with left wing fanatics, when they don't get their way they resort to violence. I am very leery of any person that spouts the hatred that has been expressed for Trump.

Open carry would cure a lot of what is wrong in the swamp. A law that lets swamp creatures carry, but not law abiding citizens, is just another form of corruption!

Corruption and may I also add, tyranny and enslavement.
