GOP - the party of guns...
Honestly, what did anyone expect to happen? Couldn’t they have chosen any other prize? Stupid.
Just like they tried with the Bushmaster rifle used by the Beltway Sniper.
These people are a bunch of hysterical ninnies.
Shiny, black gun?
Really?
Just how gay do you have to be to write for New York Magazine?
Not the worst thing to be called.

Honestly, I have no problem with it
Here is my comment:
“The County GOP is giving away the “Loughner” stopper, the gun that would have been the perfect gun to put a stop to his deadly rampage. They are giving it to someone that is mentally sane and will likely use it to save their own or someone else’s life. “Loughner” shouldn’t have even been on the street, he should have been in a mental hospital.”
You have to remember the New York Magazine author’s frame of reference...he is probably an Ivy League or Ivy League-lite graduate (NYU, Tufts, U. Chicago, Vanderbilt) who lives in a city with a handgun ban and whose Westchester/Upper East Side/Wellesley upbringing of 60-70’s era academics or lawyers who hated guns and the military.
He is probably gay, or bisexual and loves the “urban” Lefty life of HuffPo, MoveOn, MSM cocktail parties (no pun intended) and the pseudo-literary crowd whose doorman-protected buidings never include the oppressed masses they leave in perpetual victimhood, well, unless working as a janitor or maid.
Guns are as foreign to these types as you and I are of hearing food stamps and the EPA are helpful to the economy.
I was a literature major at a Northeastern private university. I wasn’t aware of much about politics until my last years, but when John Kerry, Ted Kennedy, Michael Dukakis and Bill Clinton showed up at my graduation, I knew how much I couldn’t stand them (yes, I voted for Perot and helped usher in Bubba’s 8-year Stained Blue Dress Era), but I digress...
Guns evoke irrational fear, not respect like Conservatives, to Liberals. They live by emotion and Hollywood, the MSM and Marxist Dems stoke their fears...all with armed bodyguards at their disposal, ironically.
Disarmament is the peacenik way to ensure nobody can hurt each other...or the same tactics Stalin, Mao, Hitler and Chavez use to create a murderous police state...say, like Mexico...aren’t guns illegal to citizens there? Chicago? DC?
I have concluded the Liberal is a lost cause, so programmed by media images (sounds and sights) that they are almost trained to despise guns, borders, freedom, Sarah Palin, Dick Cheney or Paul Ryan by the “Sounds of Silence” type of reaction...
Who knows...
I followed my favorite college baseball team to Ruston, LA a few years back, and I definitely knew I wasn’t in California anymore when the in-game raffle prize winner was announced, and they were told to come and pick up their new rifle!
Every year or two the local Fraternal Order of Police will raffle off a similar Glock. I’m always good for a ticket.
It is a little too soon though in their neighborhood. Not a bad idea, but bad timing.
The G-23 is not as powerful as the one used by Demsocrats to kill Lincoln.
People here own guns, lots of people – including Giffords, who owned the same model weapon used in her shooting.
I lived in Arizona for a couple of years in the late 70’s. One thing I’ve always maintained is that Arizona IS unique. I wish I’d never left.
We should not let the New York Slimes dictate to us what is acceptable.
Like they gave the AZ Senate Primaries away to John McCain and kept them "Open Primaries" so DEMOCRATS COULD VOTE FOR JOHN MCCAIN?!?
Screw the AZ GOP! They're why I'm a proud AZ Indy!
I will never forget this and how upset they made us. We do have some good conservatives in the AZ GOP, but they are outweight and out maneuvered by TREACHEROUS RINOS.
CLOSE THE AZ REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES NOW!!!
