It is really bizarre seeing members of the right squaring their belief in having and using personal weapons with the teachings of the New Testament. But they deeply believe these things and I'm sure the shootings will be a terrific spur to gun and ammunition sales. Every time this sort of thing happens they worry about potential gun control and start ammoing up.
Shootings tend to take place in red states so it is likely that the majority of those killed by guns are members of the right wing or their families, so perhaps a slow form of selection is taking place.
