Its nice that you can recite a lot from memory. What I don’t see is any research that you did see how laws in the states support confiscating firearms from those accused (not convicted - just accused) of domestic violence. You cited the federal law - most gun laws are at the state level. You’re also comparing apples…

They wouldn’t be fired - they would be reassigned. The rotation wouldn’t require any justification - just the personal preference of Scalise. Look no further than our previous presidents. The rotation of personnel at the whim of the First Family has been clearly documented by ex Secret Service agents.

Wow - a positive comment amongst all of the other hate posted here in the comments that helps fuel rage like the rage that motivated the shooter in this incident. Good for you. I wish that there was more of it.

If he had such as issue with these people or their life styles he could have easily had them removed from the personal protection detail.

An assault rifle was used in this shooting. The SKS rifle used wasn’t covered under the previous 1994 Assault Weapons Ban, nor would it have been covered under Diane Feinstein’s 2013 ban proposal. And what difference does it make? The assailant in this case could have actually been much more successful with a knife,…

Agreed, it is a complex issue with no easier answer (although everyone seems to have one). There are a lot of false stereotyping going on - for example, many guns owner do go through a lot of training (active shooter training, low-light structure-clearing training, CQB training, etc.) but there are also plenty of gun…

Ah - it turns out the shooting was at a high school fields - TC Williams high school - that would be an off limits (“gun free zone”) so Congressmen wouldn’t be allowed to carry there.

I could be wrong, but I believe that it is very difficult for US Congressmen to arm themselves due to the very strict gun laws in the District of Columbia and the Federal Building restrictions. They are, of course, also used to being surrounded by security when in Washington. It may be too much of a pain for them to…

I believe that the Capital Police was two officers that were parked in a black SUV. A witness said that they were shooting from behind the SUV - not sure if they drove it to get it into position first. Multiple witnesses said the shooter used the dugout as cover and reported one of the Capital Police ordering the…

Well, since the Republicans that were on the field are primarily stating that the situation was as bad as it was because they were unarmed, I wouldn’t hold your breath.

Maxine Waters killed Tupac? I knew it!

OMG! Right? That is the most baffling part of this whole fiasco...

Exactly! These Jalopnik writers get way too carried away with their exaggerations...

If this trend continues, no longer will Texas Instruments have a calculator monopoly

Not just Jeeps. I had a (then brand new) 2014 F350 Dually that had this exact issue. At highway speeds, if I hit a bump (typically just with one tire or one tire, then the other) the vehicle would erupt in an uncontrollable oscillation. Everything in the cab was tossed around like I was in a tornado. The only way to…

Imagine if it was the white woman that was asked to relocate to the back; we never would have heard about it.

Well, this article does give credit to Donald Trump for spending time with his family, which is more than I can say about the rest of the Gizmodo family of blogs I’ve seen. Sure, it was sarcastic, but hey: baby steps.

I was referencing what I would like to see. Reality may be different. If this was bad shooting, then we’ll get a chance to find out.

And, no matter how you feel about the men who protect and serve by killing a statistically inordinate number of black people, you have to admit, it is kinda funny.
