I got a good chuckle out of it, because I never even insinuated that he was a Conservative to begin with. Your rash attitude and uncanny ability to jump to conclusions on this subject made me laugh a little as well.

Good to hear I injected a little humor into your day....I chuckle with you, if you don't mind.

Um... okay. I guess it's always good when someone else feels comfortable enough with themselves to have a nice laugh at something they've done or said.

Mind showing me that source now for that bit you had on the political views of famous historical assassins?

Historical? Did I use that word/term? Sounds like you have already searched and found my statement acurate. Carry on.

Your speculation would defy history where most assasins are left leaning.

You claimed that, historically, most assassins are left-leaning. Now, where's your citation? Or are you just here to blabber on like a troll?

John Wilkes Booth: Protestant Republican (nativist)
Charles J. Guiteau: Republican (who, in fact, worked on James Garfield's campaign and was at the Republican National Committee in 1880, and shot Garfield out of his own misled belief that he had caused him solely to win the election)
Leon Czolgosz: Anarchist
Lee Harvey Oswald: Cuban Democratic Revolutionary Front member (anti-Castro league; Oswald was also affiliated with the Fair Play for Cuba Committee, which, although it originally supported Castro, turned against him following his open remarks about Marxism and his nationalizing of the country's assets; evidently wasn't that much of a leftist since he also, you know, assassinated President Kennedy...)

Shall I cover attempted assassinations for you as well?

She's still alive, but in critical condition- and still in surgery.

Do they know what kind of gun was used? A .22 would be bad because it lacks enough energy to exit the skull and thus bounces around inside scrambling everything. Thus is why most assassins choose this caliber at short range when targeting the head.

I do not think I've seen that information, but apparently an automatic weapon,which in turn can include many different kinds of weapons

Or a semi-automatic weapon. There is a difference.

I know more than well, thanks anyway!

It probably wasn't a .22. Dr. Gupta is on the phone with CNN, and she was in fact shot from close range. The bullet was "in and out". Saved her life no doubt.

Sheriff said "pistol with an extended magazine, and I'm not saying anything further."
