Turning Point says he’s alive and in the hospital. https://x.com/tpointuk/status/1965864882731102215?s=46 Would be incredible if he pulled through. Looked fatal. Who knows if his spinal system was damaged as well. He has 2 young kids.

Confirmed he’s dead.

its not the 2nd amendment that killed him, it is political violence.

Political violence cannot be deterred with strict gun laws. Remember, it is only law abiding citizens who are affected by the gun laws. Criminals by definition don't need to follow the law and they don't need the 2nd amendment

Don't want to talk in bad taste by going to this so early, but... this extremely unfortunate event is going to be a very telling test for the media and society at large. A Democratic state representative in Minnesota was brutally murdered and another attacked by the same man only a couple of months ago, back in June. How many can name them? How long did their deaths stay in the headlines? How much coverage were they…
