@NILLA000ARMS Keep the victims and their families in your prayers..

Exactly.

With this being said we are going to have to fight even harder to protect our rights. Whether it be free speech or firearm freedom.

And not to sound cold or un-sympathetic to Gifford or the people there, however, public officials are targets for some people, nothing new, Cheney also had an attempt on his life. Roosevelt, Lincoln, Regan, and JFK all had attempts on their lives or were killed in office.

@CRTV1982 I think this event will be used for political purposes just like the OKC bombing... they're already saying the Tea Party was behind it... unbelievable.

@okfirearms Sadly, you are right. Dupnik is hitting it full throttle. The man is not a credible Sheriff, one of his deputies resigned a few years ago just to run against him and get him out of that position. Anyway, the entire department supported Dupnik's challenger, yet the idiots in Tucson re-elected Dupnik.  Now, Dupnik has his photo-op moment on a National scale.

@CRTV1982 I think he may be eating his words relatively soon, interesting that the sheriff in the neighboring county is his polar opposite and stands up for constitutional freedom but this guy seems a little out of touch. Hopefully the voters will see that this is not the time to be politicizing a tragedy

U look like pfi dude lol

[CRTV1982]

@okfirearms I hope so, the people of Tucson did not seem to get the message when the Sheriff's Department had a deputy resign just to run against Dupnik and get him out. The guy never showed up to work and was only there to get in the spot light everytime something big happened in the news.

Very well said. The antis are gonna have a field day with this.

I still don't have all the facts about this shooter but as you said, its looking like he was a complete nutcase.

If he did legally obtain a gun then the outcome will not be good :(, the Monash Uni shooter went through all the legal paperwork, even failed the psych test, and was still given a gun license after taking the gun club to court, claiming they were discriminating against him!.

the shooting that followed was all the ammo the anti's needed and the rest is history.

Well said, I pray for the recovery of the wounded, and a peaceful rest for the deceased :(

As soon as I heard about the shooting I knew it would be food for the vultures (Brady group) that swooped down and took away Australia's gun rights after a similar incident in a University about 8 years ago or so.

The Brady group was the driving force behind Aussie gun prohibitions, and I can see them winding up for another round on their home turf right now!
