Put the shoe on the other foot. What if some conservative had tried to shoot Democrat legislators?
A friend | 14 June 2017 | Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin

A good friend just asked me this morning, "What would have happened if a conservative were to have tried to shoot Democrat legislators?" He went on to say that all hell would have broken loose in the media and across the country. Conservatives, however, have not had violent, in-the-street demonstrations and calls for reprisal.

Where is the outrage? Where is the recognition that this is an extremely dangerous escalation of conflict and VERY dangerous to our form of government?

Prediction: By tomorrow, the Democrat media will drop this story into their memory hole and will be back to the “Russian collusion with Trump scandal.”

What would have happened if a conservative were to have tried to shoot Democrat legislators?

Probably would have been a better shot.

Screw the other foot, put the shoe straight up their left wing rears where it belongs. Politically, not violently. But leftists are scum, useful idiots or worse. Don’t tolerate their harmful nonsense.

They tried to pin the shooting of Gabbie Giffords on conservatives.

But now they are naming a Navy ship after her.

In a nutshell, that is it. Conservatives don’t generally do those kinds of things, because they aren’t mentally unbalanced the way committed liberals often are.

They like to point to someone like Timothy McVeigh, but he was no conservative, he was a radical, and...didn’t do that on his own, either.

I have always thought (sometimes tongue in cheek, sometimes not) that the most effective gun control would be to ban gun ownership by anyone who voted for or expressed support for a liberal candidate.

Touche. The liberals love to project, however. So they blame us for all kinds of potential evil they're fully capable of, even though it's not in our character to do so.

“What would have happened if a conservative were to have tried to shoot Democrat legislators?”

The usual - Calls for Trump to be impeached, Republicans criticized for not denouncing it sooner, boycott of Conservatives to drive them off the public airwaves, legislation proposed to revoke the 2nd amendment, etc.

If it had been the other way around the media and the Democrats would have been condemning Conservatives 24 hours a day screaming hysterically and demanding that they all be locked up.

First, conservatives don’t go doing these kinds of things. That might change now if these stupid azz libs keep pushing, especially after this event.
Second, IF we did do that kind a of thing, a whole lot of RATs would be stacked up like cord wood...stone, cold dead because we are waaaaayyyy better shots and better armed than most insane libs.
Third, the media uproar would be deafening. They’d be squealing like baby pigs being lead to slaughter.
Fourth, the whole country would probably be better off for it.
