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?

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.

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
