unfortunately, thats no the message being received. Instead the message being received is a 2 party system, both in politics and in the legal system. If your on the Left you have elevated privileges, if your on the right, tread carefully.The issue isn't about guns.
It's about respect for the institution, it's about telling people "you just did this, it's okay, let's do it again".
People needed to be punished to stop an escalation happening again.
Look at school shootings, since Columbine it's become more normal, because people have been "inspired".
Whats actually happening is the demonization of one political party on anything they can possibly cling too. Its scary. I never thought I would see such behavior in America.
