    Will this get the GOP to finally support gun bans?

      Nope. Remember when someone shot up a congressional softball game and nothing happened?

        Remember when Jan 6 nutters stormed the Capitol with guns and zip ties and nothing happened to the person inciting all of it?

          What people had guns on Capitol grounds? Only guns I know of were the ones found a good distance away…

            There were absolutely guns.

            https://www.statesman.com/story/news/politics/politifact/2022/06/15/fact-check-were-firearms-other-weapons-capitol-jan-6/7621149001/

            They did also find a stockpile of guns a distance away. Both are true.

      Many GOP events already ban guns at the events, they just dont ban it outside them

        Perfectly logical for them, since Republicans aren’t the right people to be shooting at.

      No, it will get them to support preemptively shooting those in the out-group.
