GUNS | "All Shooters Were Dems"

Someone took out an ad in a newspaper asserting that all of the recent shooters were Democrats. The ad ended with the simple solution–don't let Democrats have guns.

It is an example of ideology-based passing on of data that fit a thesis and ignoring data that do not.

I have not done my own research on this but according to another source, the publicized recent shooters include:

• Adam Lanza - no evidence he is a Democrat and his mother Nancy Lanza was a registered Republican. 
• Columbine shooters - claim that parents were Democrats not evidence-based. 
• Eric Harris was from a military family. 
• Dylan Klebold’s family was active in their Lutheran church. 
• Nidal Hasan, the man accused the Fort Hood shooting, lived in Virginia or Texas, neither of which have registered party affiliations. 
• Seung-Hui Cho of the Virginia Tech shooting was a Korean national with permanent residency status, not a citizen of the USA; he wasn’t eligible to vote in the U.S. 
• James Holmes from Aurora was not registered to vote. Congresswoman Giffords’ shooter was a registered independent. 

I am posting this in the hope of trying to neutralize misinformation.
