Well, at least they got that right, since that is the definition of domestic terrorism.

Huh. Just because Fox News says this doesn’t make it true. I WISH authorities would treat this as domestic terrorism.

But I won’t hold my breath.

And with that comes the end of our country. Now Democrats are going to win hearts and minds to ban firearms in this country with the simple line of "Don't you want to stop terrorism?"

Be on notice and mark my words. This is the beginning of the end.

As they should. If nothing else - it's definitely a hate crime.

Sources told Fox News that after guard took away his gun, the suspect said, "Don't shoot me, it was not about you, it was what this place stands for."

Authorities were treating the attack as a case of domestic terrorism, although James McJunkin, the head of the FBI’s Washington Field Office, said authorities do not yet know the gunman's motive.

Hey James, here's a clue about the gunman's motive: His statement that "it was what this place stands for".
