we may have problems here Rep. Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona Reportedly Shot

[Pocketman]

There are a lot of comments in this thread that really shouldn't be posted at all, I'm not usually for deleting threads, but man, no matter what the meaning or intent, there is some stuff here that would look very bad for all of us if it were to be quoted on CNN or MSNBC.

Not only would it look bad, but some of these comments are certainly in poor taste, if not un-American. We are a nation of laws. It is good to have different opinions. Shooting elected officials is the way politics are conducted in third world countries. If she has opposing views and resigns or doesn't get re-elected, that's cause for celebration. Getting shot is not!

Edit:
House Speaker John Boehner - "An attack on one who serves is an attack on all who serve. Acts and threats of violence against public officials have no place in our society."

WTH?!? Do you remember what you wrote?

What was the purpose of that post then? Please enlighten me.

dont have time now,,,youre seeing what you want to see and ignoring reality,,,

whats going down and whats going to go down is really simple to see,,,that was the point of the post,,,

not hard to see,,, complain about it,,,but it wont change it...

Now being reported on FNC, a civilian supposedly shot back at shooter.

Probably a tea partier shooting back at the mexican cartel shooter.

Would that blow your mind?

 

[machete]

18 people shot,,,6 people dead...

Take a look at her campaign website, it says she is a strong supporter of GUN RIGHTS.

Sadly many say that..... to me when someone says that it does not mean much to be because it really does not. All's they will have to say is I support people owning guns......... but..... I want a phone book full of restrictions.......

 

[Bigum1969]

I'm just going to add prayers for all that were shot at this point.

 

[machete]

a CHL person did shoot back at the shooter, It might have prevented more death.

CHL works guys, this could be a plus. There might be a hero in the story.

for the good guy,,,

we might have caught a break,,,

im glad the scum isnt dead so we can know whats behind this...

---open carry might have prevented the dirtbag from shooting in the first place---sorry,,,had to get some pro open carry in there...

MSNBC just reported that the gun was a Glock 9mm.

so the muzzle loader theory is debunked.

As well, one of the deaths was a federal judge who was standing next to the congresswoman.

 

[sparky241]

Did anyone catch what type of firearm was used? If it was a semi-auto... watch out. When political figures are assassinated anti-gun laws get passed.

there are reports of about 15-20 rds be expended, of course it was a semi auto, im not aware of a revolver that can do that unless it was from hollywood

This is what I am hearing also, this person could have said lives. I also had heard the crowd tackled the shooter.

We will see..

 

[melensdad]

Various reports now indicate that:
a Glock 9mm was used by the attacker
a CHL holder fired back trying shoot the attacker
a federal judge is one of the several dead victims

 

[ThrottleJockey]

Apparently she WAS/IS among the more conservative of her "D" peers. Not checked for accuracy, but posted by a mod on another well known forum:

She has recently criticized the administration for not closing the border.

Recently supported pay cuts for congress.

Basically has supported essentially conservative stances from the Democrat side.

Please, God, let the shooter be found to be a communist/anarchist or illegal alien.

 

[Bunnykid68]

Some idiot on Fox just spouted off he thought the guy had an automatic weapon and they are illegal down there just like in the rest of the country.

What idiots these people are.

 

[sparky241]

The use of a full-auto weapon, and being in Arizona, makes me think this was a cartel hit.

full auto? link please. i havent heard that one yet

 

[Pocketman]

Our founding fathers might disagree

American history is apparently not your strong suit.

 

[Bunnykid68]

Hopefully the guy that was shooting back did not hit any bystanders. The media would spin that like crazy.
