The thing that reminds me of how "kid logic" works is this
rationalization about "other people" doing X.
The issue is folks "euphemising" the use of violence as a solution to
political problems.
Logic like "the Liberals on this list would do the same thing!" and
"Obama said bring a gun!", etc.,
I think the point is that a politician was shot, and other politicians
have been advocating shooting folk.
Even if it was a euphemism or some such: "Lock and Load[ your vote]!"
"RELOAD[ your vote]!"
Can the media jump to a fact that advocating violence in politics,
