OP
The thing that baffles me is that Scalise was a shooting victim, he was severely injured

Not to mention that he was shot during practice for the congressional baseball game in 2017

Well, it stuck in my mind so you'd certainly think it would have stuck with him as well!

When a shooter targeted that congressional baseball game practice in 2017! He was in critical condition!

I think he looks at least 10 years older than me. Must be the aging process of a republican

And was in critical condition. I'd imagine that would age him, too.

(21,722 posts)6. True. But I think he looked 10 years older than me back then too.
Is it just me or does it seem like longer ago than 2017? That was only 5 years ago

That's why I find his stance on guns inexplicable - since he was a victim and could have died.
