This came in over the transom today, thanks to RD. I understand it has been around awhile. Are there any refutations? Please advise. In the mean time I did pick up on a few more to add (see add section) from the commenters at Free Republic.
And while we are on the topic of leftists/ collectivists killing people we are reminded of these books: The Black Book of Communism: Crimes, Terror, Repression (Stéphane Courtois, et al, Harvard University Press, 1999) and also Death by Government ( R.J. Rummel, Transaction Publishers, 1994). But just keep in mind: “Kill a few people its tragic – kill a million its a statistic.”
Those cranky about what is a collectivist government and what isn’t should read this : When conservatives help Communists commit atrocities, by Charles Crawford. It is more a critique of the critiquers.

In 1984 James Hubert, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 22 people in a McDonalds restaurant.
In 1986 Patrick Sherrill, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 15 people in an Oklahoma post office.
In 1990 James Pough, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 10 people at a GMAC office.

In 2010 a mentally ill registered Democrat named Jared Lee Loughner, shot Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and killed 6 others.
In 2011 a registered Democrat named James Holmes, went into a movie theater and shot and killed 12 people.
In 2012 Andrew Engeldinger, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 7 people in Minneapolis.
In 2013 a registered Democrat named Adam Lanza, shot and killed 26 people in a school in Newtown, CT.
As recently as Sept 2013, an angry Democrat shot 12 at a Navy ship yard.
One could go on, but you get the point, even if the media does not. Guns don’t kill people. Democrats kill people!
Clearly, there is a problem with Democrats and guns.
Not one NRA member, Tea Party member, or Republican conservative was involved in any of these shootings and murders.
SOLUTION: It should be illegal for Democrats to own guns. If Democrats would just take guns away from people oriented to their party and way of doing things, “people” would be safer.
Thanks to some posters at Free Republic for these additions:
John Wayne Gacy was a Democrat precinct captain in Chicago
In 2010 Democrat Amy Bishop shot and killed three people (and wounded three others) at the University of Alabama at Huntsville
In Philly, Dr. Gosnell was a Democrat. Imagine if he had a gun.
As if I wasn’t sold by the other 40 examples, John Wayne Gacy was a Democrat precinct captain?! Makes sense though.
