    Planned Parenthood Shooting Suspect Made Comment About 'No More Baby Parts': Sources

    The day after a gunman killed three people and shot nine others at a Colorado Planned Parenthood office, officials tell NBC News a motive remains unclear, but say the suspect talked about politics and abortion.

    Robert Lewis Dear, a North Carolina native who was living in a trailer in Colorado, made statements to police Friday at the scene of the Colorado Springs clinic and in interviews that law enforcement sources described as rantings.

    In one statement, made after the suspect was taken in for questioning, Dear said "no more baby parts" in reference to Planned Parenthood, two law enforcement sources with knowledge of the case told NBC News.

    I don't believe there's ever ever ever been a case of even one person being shot or killed with this weapon.

    Sure. It's only been in circulation for a little over a year. Nice strawman.

    The straw man is arguing these guns are a huge risk. The vast vast majority of shootings are done with handguns. The number of rifle shootings is in the tens.

    I think this weapon is a police one anyway. Used to hunt black men on the streets and evict people who can't afford their rent (thanks Obama!).

    In context.

    http://www.nytimes.com/politics/fir...-planned-parenthood-after-shooting-at-clinic/

    Speaking to reporters in Newton, Iowa, Mr. Cruz said “we don’t fully know the motivations of this deranged individual” in the shooting, which killed three people and wounded nine.

    Mr. Cruz added, without prompting, that the suspected gunman, Robert L. Dear Jr., was “registered to vote as a woman.” He suggested that there was “very little evidence” tying the shooting to anti-abortion sentiment, a cause frequently invoked by Mr. Cruz and his fellow Republicans in the presidential primary.

    When a reporter cited news reports that Mr. Dear had said “no more baby parts” after he was apprehended, Mr. Cruz replied, “Well, it’s also reported that he was registered as an independent and as a woman and a transgender leftist activist.”

    Cruz is just spinning it to sound like it's not from a right wing "activist".

    They can't have it both ways, either the left is all about abortions at all costs, or they're gun toting transgendered leftists who shoot people

    Seems like the spin is to take his quote out of context and suggest he meant something else entirely.

    I'm no fan of the guy, but he may as well have said, "it's also been reported that he's an extraterrestrial" if that was reported on the internet somewhere.

    He was dismissing both "no more baby parts" and "transgender" equally, it seems to me.
