Quote from Mercor:
Sometimes simple coincidences seem to have patterns when there are none.
Certainly if a tragic shooting of Palin were to happen the left would have to condemn their behavior of the past week and 2 years.
Quote from Lucrum:
More liberal stupidity.
Had some of the crowd been carrying weapons they could have shot the assassin long before he emptied his first magazine. Saving who knows how many injuries or deaths.
Quote from Landis82:
The point is that no one was, not even in "permit-less" Arizona.
Therefore your logic is totally false, null and void.
Mass killings like the one in Tuscon come down to the shooter being able to use permit-less, non-concealed hand-guns.....
Quote from Hello:
This is pretty asinine view in my opinion. Do you really think that a guy who was about to go on a murderous rampage would have respected gun laws had they been in place??? Do you think this guy really gave a shit whether or not it was LEGAL to walk around with a handgun when he was about to go shoot as many people as possible??
Im sure if they had made a law against carrying a gun in public the guy would have packed up ship, turned around and decided not to murder a bunch of people, because he may be breaking a gun law, infact once he knew he didnt have a permit, he probably would have bee-tailed it to the nearest gun registry, in order to make sure he didnt break the law while he was commiting first degree murder.
You're point maybe. Mine was that if someone in the crowd had been armed the damage could have easily been reduced.Quote from Landis82:

An armed citizenry would have a similar if not bigger impact. Is a lunatic bent on murder going to choose attacking unarmed or armed targets? I'm guessing most would choose unarmed, given most of these kinds of perpetrators are cowards anyway.Without the ability to access high volume magazines, deranged shooters such as Loughner have the odds of killing cut down dramatically.
Horse shit.Gov. Jan Brewer has some explaining to do to the citizens of Arizona.
Should I PM Joe and complain like you did?Some people do, it's the ones on the left that won't/can't think rationally on this issue. It doesn't fit the leftist dogma.Quote from Hello:
I dont get why people can not think rationally when it comes to issues like this.
