This IS NOT the way to solve anything..

I may disagree with your political beliefs, but this is totally unacceptable,

My and Wife's thoughts are with all of those hurt and killed in this uncalled for act..

I was a classmate of her husband Mark at USMMA and met Gabby last year. We are all wishing for her recovery. God Speed Gabrielle.

Another idiotic moron. No excuse for shooting people. I wish they would bring back public hanging

Very sad event. Looking at the postings of the shooter on various sites show a rather mentally disturbed individual, like a schizophrenic rather than a zealot.

A dark, sad day for our country. My heart goes out to the victims of this senseless act.

That was my take also. Likely a paranoid schizophrenic.

This is nuts! At least they got the guy before he had the chance to take his own life and he can be punished for his acts.

Prayers for the families.
The shooter was a very unstable individual from reports and his own postings.

This is a tradgedy... even a 9 year old died that day :( I agree that this will just be made into another chip off the 2nd Ammendment. Very sad, my condolences go out to all the families who have been disrupted by the hands of this mad man.

Re: Congresswoman in critical condition after being shot

Yeah, this has been pretty big news up here....lots of attention. Very sad stuff....hopefully the Congresswoman pulls through to fight another day, unlike those (6) unlucky bystanders including that little girl. Did this AssClown have a permit for that weapon? Why didn't someone bring that waste of space down with theirs?:eek::confused:
My two bits.

Re: Congresswoman in critical condition after being shot

In the state of AZ and other states you are not required to have a permit in certain situations, and from all accounts there was nothing illegal in this person purchasing this weapon.

It is unfortunate, we still have not figured out how to screen out the nutcases...

Re: Congresswoman in critical condition after being shot

Bp In the United States you are not required to have a gun in nearly every city and state,(thankfully I might add) also and not to bring Politics into this but It is my opinion that the congresswoman(a democrat) was having a town hall meeting or a meet and greet if you will Democrats are the party that is for gun control, I believe this douchebag went to this meet and greet because he knew that they are democrats and therefore they would not have guns to defend themselves. Arizona is arguably one of the most pro gun states in the USA, I was born and raised in Tucson and this hit close to home to me. I in no way condone the actions of this guy and I pray for the victims no matter what party they are in but I believe this coward thought this would be a victim friendly area, no guns to oppose him and he could reek havoc unopposed, The fact that he was taken alive just adds to my theory/opinion, since the incident several persons who carry came forward and stated that before they could intervene into the situation people had overpowered the gunman.

As stated I am not bringing my politics into this, only that politics was a motive in this cowards actions, this is my theory/opinion and mine alone at this point
