"it's just normal political rhetoric..." No one wants to be responsible for their words, or actions, preferring to let someone spin them out of it.

I wish someone would pull the lever on the tank and flush our political toilet.
Term limits in the House and Senate (no one should spend 20+ years there), dissolution of the existing parties (they are already fractured beyond recognition), campaign budget limits (there are better ways to spend hundreds of millions of dollars), and the end of lobbying within 100-miles of the Capitol dome (or at least sponsorship patches on the politicians).

I'm afraid this country is going to explode, and you won't merely be "re-enacting" anymore...

You might have seen this already, but there's a big discussion of the Tucson shootings on the CE board, including whether or not there was a "Becket effect", and also including some talk about gun control.

U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords among at least 12 people shot.
