This one is a baseball game played at the park where the Nats play. Many moons ago I played on a softball team that was in the Congressional league. We played in Anacostia Park. That was a place where you worried about accidental shootings.
I just assumed that old guys would play softball not baseball. Thought it was a misquote

Let's wait and see if this individual would have raised a red flag on any items listed...maybe 1 out of the 5 would have been able to prevent this shooting.

Nothing will ever be done in this country to change gun laws, magazine size limits, etc when 20 elementary school children are murdered and no one bats an eye....not even if a group of Republicans are mowed down.

Let's take this case as an example. They already said rifle, not assault weapon. So it's not an AK-47/AR-15 style weapon. They guy got off 50-150 rounds before Capital police put him down, I'm sure they'll get closer on that number as time goes on. Unless you ban all semi-automatic weapons, you won't do anything to limit crime, but you will make it more difficult for legal citizen's ability to purchase legal guns/ammo. Feel-goodism shines brightly on the left side, and usually the ramifications are void, or have a negative impact. This is one such case.

No ****. Coop and I are going to be in the running for biggest heel. Honestly, I just assumed the Left being the Nancys that they are wouldn't have the balls to do something like this.
I think the low accuracy rate should have been a clue.

For some reason, I bet it's a soft ball game. Most of those charity games are soft ball.
I also thought it was softball. But one of the talking heads said that years ago "Vinegar Bend" Mizell who was a Republican U.S. congressman from North Carolina from 1969 to 1975 and was a former major league pitcher played in the game. He struck out the first 7 Democrat batters he faced. The Dems demanded that he be banned from pitching and he was.
