Now they're saying Giffords is not dead. I'm not going to believe anything one way or another on that until there's an official press release on her condition.

Maybe she's in a condition similar to Terry Schiavo. And nobody can agree if that constitutes "dead" or not...

On the Giffords case;

The three cable news networks and my local news radio WTOP in D.C. have reported word from hospital that she is alive and in critical condition.

Culprit is a 21 year old male according to CNN.

By saying this, you are ascribing a higher state of humanity to government employees, law enforcement officers and military soldiers.

They are human just like us. They should not have more or less rights than us, and that includes the ownership of weapons.

Opposing the right to bear arms is tantamount to claiming that unless you work for the government, you're too stupid and/or dangerous to own a weapon. And I take offense at that; I owned several weapons for many years and I never went on a killing spree. And I've read many incidents of corrupt cops, soldiers gone bonkers, all manner of the "higher lifeform government employee" going off their rocker just like an average Joe.

Madmen will always exist, and if you take away their guns, they'll just kill with something else.

Leave those of us who like to put holes in paper men alone.

You do realize not everyone reads over posts while simultaneously writing their own, right? It's not like I was typing and periodically checking back. The only info I needed was quoted, so there was no reason to check back in.

I can delete it, ya?

Official press statement from the hospital. Giffords is alive, following commands, and the surgeon is optimistic. Unfortunately, among the dead is a young child.

Many others are in critical condition however.

You honestly thought it was a joke? Things like that are sinister, disgusting, I felt bad just looking at it. The Tea Party is no party, they're maniacs.

It could also mean that you don't believe it's a "right", but rather a "privilege" that one must earn by proving they know how to handle it properly, as opposed to just allowing anyone to have one. It's not like there's a Right to Bear Wheels or anything. You have to prove you know how to drive, since if you don't conduct yourself properly, people can die. Same thing here.

Articulate and to the point. I had no idea Arizona allowed pretty much anyone to walk out of a gun store locked and loaded. I have no words for how stupid that is.

*Insert song: Proud to Be An American by Lee Greenwood*

As for the congresswoman, my sympathies goes to her, her constituents that were shot at and no words come to me for the little 9 year old who died in the tragedy.

With guys like Beck, Rush and Palin and the incendiary diarrhea they spew from every orifice, do you honestly think that extremism isn't encouraged? Congresswoman Giffords office was basically broken into and destroyed after she made clear her support for the Affordable Care Act. This guy that walked up to her and shot her isn't an isolated case.

Also, you don't need a concealed carry permit. Arizona has rather permissive gun laws.

If an Arizona cop pulls me over and says, "Papers," and I say, "Scissors," do I win?

I don't feel like argumenting agains the right to bear gun, using such even for a argument isn't much of my taste but would be appropriate.

And before someone start the refrain '' and if Average Joe of the public also had a gun ? '' lets's think again. Average Joe's reaction wouldn't had been fast enough to stop the shooter firsts shot and would probably been far less precise than he would be at a firing range... increasing the probability than Average Joe's gun could increase the number of injuried/dead
