Democrats are the ones who want to make gun ownership illegal,
That's a totally incorrect statement. Why is the inflammatory exaggeration?

It would be nice to see a little more factual evidence/information of this other than a scanned newspaper clipping of a 'Dear Editor' article...yawn.
Basically what you're going on is one citizen's belief that these shooters were Democrats. Where is his evidence?
This thread is insulting to the premiss of this entire site...good one.

Based on that logic (as I'm sure someone has said), we can make further connections: They all took baths in the local water within a week of going on these killing sprees and they have family members who bathed regularly.
Evidence shows that most of the rampage killers in America are White males under the age of 40 who came from a family that bathes and who take baths regularly. (yes, that's true)
My point is that you can pick ANY data point and find a reason to demonize a group.

John Wilkes Booth was a solid Democrat.
Leon Czolgosz, the assassin of President McKinley, was an avowed liberal socialist.
Don't get me started on Lee Harvey Oswald's political affiliation.
The entire premise is moot unless the REASON they shot people was BECAUSE they were Democrats. Otherwise I don't see the point of this at all.
Other than to take a shot at your opposing party of course. The idea that all Democrats should not be allowed to have guns because of a few mentally unstable murderers is insane and ludicrous.

The pilot who flew his light aircraft into the office building in Texas a few years back was also a registered democrat and I hear he was well bathed also
The demonization going on has been towards lawful legitimate gun owners and their constitutional right to bear arms. The usurpers attempting abridgement of these rights are in the main progressive and reside to the left of center. As long as legitimate firearm owners are painted as they are by these folks then IT IS fair game to point out the utter hypocracy when they attempt to redirect blame onto those who do not in anyway, shape, form or manner deserve such vitriol.
I take the OP as pointing out a need to clean their own house before criticizing others and (the so-called party of individual rights, my arse) attempting to weaken others rights based upon their own fears.

JFK signed his death warrant when he went against the CIA's plan to provide air support for the Bay of Pigs Invasion.
RFK helped kill JFK (and himself) by going after the Mafia (the same Sam Giancana and Jimmy Hoffa who put JFK into office by a mere one hundred thousand Chicago votes).
The Kennedys forgot who they were, where they came from and who put them there. Their egos were substantial and debilitating.
Obama (also known as Obusho) knows where he came from (he could probably draw you a full scale map of Kenya from repressed boyhood memories). Obama won't buck the CIA's war in the Mideast Obama won't try to cordon off the drug flow from across the Mexican border. Obama will retire to his 45 million dollar mansion in Hawaii.
The point was to illustrate the hypocrisy of the left.
