It's the right that is using shooting and gun metaphors, and buying ammunition, and by using those metaphors making the implied threat to shoot and kill to further political goals, and making political shooting look glamorous and heroic and "right".
And to attempt to deny this and cover up their glorification of political gunsmanship after a shooting is disingenuous.
Even tho it seems likely that this shooter is just a sick kid who seized on a crime of oppurtunity.

The right, yes, pro gun, but it's the left that portrayed the tea party as gun fanatics. Wasn't really that important at this time, very little to do with social issues really. Other than following the constitution.
But I agree, people are jumping on the band wagon saying he's a right wing loon with a gun when the last gunman to make a serious attack on a president was against Ronald Reagan, would any right wing person go after him?
Right VS left on guns is kinda funny, I mean, do they really think that only right wing people have guns? I know some left wing people that have plenty

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
