What is the saying?? (I’m sure there is a better one):
If guns kill people then pencils cause misspelled words.

So it was the GUN’S fault!!! I guess that means Loughner grabbed the pistol in an attempt to PREVENT it from going off and was unjustly accused of the crime!!!!

If I lived alone I would own a gun and know how to use it.As a law-abiding citizen I have the right to own a gun to protect myself,as does every law-abiding citizen.

I’m certain that the left is drooling over the possibility that Giffords will be the Jim Brady for the 21st century.

Blaming conservatives & the alternative media isn't working, so launch alternate plan B - attack the 2nd amendment.
Can't allow this event to pass without getting SOMETHING out of it.

Reconsider it and watch the law of unintended consequences open a pandora's box that can't be closed. For a people that claim to love diversity so much, they sure are culturally ignorant.

You Molon Labe guys, stop it, you’re killing me! The vision of that Canadian lesbian hag coming to take our guns away is too funny.
Private gunowners in just my libtard state of Washington are enough to take out the Canadian Army. Heck, we have enough small boats, we could take out their navy too. And those CFAC jets, they have to land sometime.

To Susan Cole:
Loathe Sarah Palin as much as anyone else?
As ANYONE else?
You mean like any card-carrying liberal. You just can’t help starting out with a lie can you?
And let’s be clear, you moron: The great sheriff of Pima County, with all of his official government guns (the kind you love so much), and all of his foreknowledge of the dangers to Giffords, and of the fact that Loughner was unstable and hate-filled, still wasn’t able to stop this crime.
Does McGill University ring a bell?
Bottom feeding one-cells like you have screwed up your country enough. Stay the hell out of ours.

One look and it’s easy to understand why she loathes Sarah.
“Known for taking provocative stances.”
Known for having a face that would stop a clock.

Ms. Cole needs to keep her opinions and her butt in Canada where they belong. This is America. We don’t need no steenking gun control here. If it wasn’t for the 190 million gun owners here Obama would already have declared Martial law and installed his Maxist regime. Count on it.

b) blame the teachers and friends of the guy for knowing hes nuts and not doing anything about it, but fearing one day hed crack and blow away the class
I used to work as a sysadmin in `academentia' so let me add this: they also know their warning would be ignored and they'd be required to attend "diversity class" to teach them to be "sensitive" to the mentally deranged (but don't call them that, that's not tolerant).

To paraphrase Dan Ackroyd,
"Susan, you ignorant slut!"
There is no process in place to prevent unhinged characters like Loughner from packing and there won't be any until the National Rifle Association and its trigger-happy gang lose their influence and the constitution's Second Amendment is reconsidered.
Mexico has some of the most stringent gun control laws in the world. Drive across the border with a single round of military caliber ammunition (9mm, for instance) and you'll wind up in jail for YEARS!
Yet the murder rate in Mexico is one of the highest in the world! You can't keep criminals from killing someone once they've decided they want to do it.
The only way to ensure that this sort of thing can't happen is to institute a tyrannical government that treats everyone as a potential assassin. And even then, there's no guarantee.
