VA Shooting is the 153rd mass shooting in 2017

Also, Steve Scalise has an A rating with the NRA, so he helped facilitate some of this.

Irony.

people can play baseball with guns. Nothing can go wrong with that. Virginia has open carry and people bring them to Starbucks just in case.

There were security officers at the baseball field with guns.

But no will ever acknowledge that the people doing the mass shooting are not refugees or immigrants or anyone like that. These are white male Americans killing Americans.
