If the perp is White, the Dems can blame the NRA, the Republicans, and by extention the republican canidates. If the shooter is a minority, then the Libs won't play it up as much. Worst case Scenerio: 19 year old White Male, formerly of Texas, Wyoming, Idaho ect. Taught to shoot at age 7 by his dad, who is a life time NRA member. His pass times are role playing, shooting prarie dogs, and watching FNC. Hitlery and Janet would have a field day.

If the shooter is a minority...

It's quite possible, because all the "experts" I heard kept repeting how baffling and different this case was from the others. Maybe it's because the perps are not the legendary "gun-loving republican white males"...
