This mass shooting in Colorado Springs is horrifying and exactly what LGBTQ organizations and leaders have been warning would happen if the violent rhetoric toward our community continued. This is what happens when hateful propaganda goes unchecked.

IMHO:
To get ahead of this, we need to start treating this as a feature, not a bug.
No amount of warning the GOP will work.
Why? Because they are strategically inciting it.
They have flooded the streets with guns.
They have systematically & legislatively demonized minorities & women.
They can't be shamed because, this is a success for them.
Today, the elected officials will do what they do after a school shooting. Distance themselves to CYA...but the hateful, demonizing rhetoric will continue.
