"this area of growing violence against Republican...."   Seriously Paul? Got some stats.  While your at it look up growing violence against journalist and young black men by cops.  

This guy had mental illness.  It was not a Republican thing.  This guy like all shooters was just plain ill.  Here's a guy with multiple incident of violence in his history yet he can buy a gun just like you and me. That sir, is the fault of Republicans. We seem to wait til they have felony conviction before we take their gun away, when in reality misdeamenors such as assualt should also be scrutitinized.  This guy assaulted someone with the butt of a gun, yet those charges were dropped.  

Anyone can tell that Mcaulliff, including him, made a nerd error about 93 million and he recanted. Not unusual. He corrected himself and you did not mention that,  

Any one who is held convicted of a domestic assault, felony or not, looses their guns. Why wait til they are a felon, and more so with his guys history
