Will simple meet and greets be a casualty?
Security concerns already keep our reps more remote from us than ever before. It's going to be hard to do open storefront appearances after this.

The shooter may have killed more than people today :(

1. It's one way to shut down dissent
Which is essential to our democracy.

3. Our Rep has had meets at local grocery stores for years
Calls them "Government in the Grocery". A real reach out to constituents.

4. Worse than that I'm afraid
Get ready for a TSA style grope every time you go in the store to buy a few veggies.

And nothing will be done to clamp down on the hate talk coming from the radio.
