Authorities haven’t yet released the name of the alleged gunman responsible for today’s shooting spree in Santa Monica, Calif., that killed six people, nor have they identified a second person of interest who is currently in custody. That hasn’t stopped the usual speculation that the NRA, or the Tea Party, or Republicans in general were responsible.

Still, it was in poor taste to have a mass shooting on the same day the president was in town speaking.
