That the shot Congressman is a Catholic is irrelevant.  The shooting does not come as a surprise.  The insane partisan divide and rhetoric bedeviling Congress for years, and exacerbated by the fringe movements on both the far right and the far left (so far out that they meet where violence is the condoned if not preferred option) breeds attacks like the one today.  It is a wake-up call to members of Congress that they are forced to  bite the bullet (pun intended) as any attempt to bring reasonable regulation to America's gun-proliferation (more guns than people!) is derailed in Congress.  The bipartisan baseball game must take place nevertheless - the game would otherwise be the dead victim.  A bipartisan game to raise funds is nice, but far too little.  If anything, today's shooting reveals how urgent it is to overcome the nation's divide.  Armed patrols and guards around State Capitols are a hapless reaction. There will be more shootings of politicians in this toxic climate.
