Some loon just shot a Congresswoman

Maybe loons shouldn't be allowed to own guns. Could you truly say that you think it's ok fdor someone crazy enough to bring a gun to a plaza and kill innocent people should own a gun?

Of course not you tool. Who are you to determine who owns a gun? You don't even know that this person legally bought this gun. How many crimes are committed by people who ILLEGALLY own guns?! People like you need to shut the f*** up!

She's died.

I am not anti gun at all. I am in favor of logical controls.

This woman has been murdered by a lunatic with a gun. End of story.

You're absolutely right, it was probably not the best time for that discussion. I hope that everyone else is ok and that the loon is given a long, torturous, prison sentence.

The extremes at both ends are wrong. We have to meet in the middle (her?) and help everyone.

I find it particularly devastating because she was a representative who was trying to do a good job by meeting with her people to hear what they wanted - doesn't matter what your political leanings. A dedicated young woman who I'm sure will be missed.

Prison sentence? Why waste tax payer dollars on him? Shoot don't even waste tax payers money on a bullet or lethal injection for him, just beat him to death. Dude does not even need a trail.

Where do people illegally procure guns? People steal from legitimate owners and sell them. So, a large supply in the population will always supply the criminals, as well as providing a means for many family tragedies when anger or accidents occur. And according to a story I heard on the radio this week, Mexican drug gangs pay people to legally buy guns in the United States and take them back into Mexico, because they can't get enough in Mexico.

I'd love for him to be shot as well, however the sadistic side of me wants him to be raped in the prison showers and go through hell for the remainder of his life.

The sheriff now says she is alive, in the hospital with a head wound, but in very serious condition.

What the heck is the truth?

The US is a sinking ship. It's only just beginning. We need a new Mayflower.

The only way to protect the unborn is to stop the murderers in their tracks.

If you really believe this you are just as stupid as the gunman, if you dont really believe this and are just trolling or whatever you are just an ass.

Only a pussy would talk about a prison sentence. He did it. They caught him. He should pay with his life by the end of this day.

Criminals WILL get guns, the question is do you want to be on a level playing field with them or not?

Funny thing is that I didn't read anything about shots being fired back in defense. Owning a gun does not guarantee your safety and does not level the playing field at all. If someone is deranged enough to have the urge to shoot up the local grocery store then they will most likely be successful. Arizona is wrong to think that allowing anybody to own a gun will make their cities safer.

Its sad to see something like this happen, but Arizona created an environment in which it was only a matter of time before a mass shooting occurred. My thoughts are with those injured and their families. I hope some good change comes from this tragedy.

They're not sure. I was a little skeptical of NPR. Hopefully she pulls through.

Could this possibly bring Congress together? I'm hoping against hope that somehow this country comes closer together.

You didn't read my other comment I see. I would rather have him suffer in jail getting raped and abused by the other inmates than have it end quickly. I admit, I don't know prison conditions, if they aren't that bad then ya, kill the bastard.

The streets will flow with the blood of the non-believers.

Yes, her office says she is alive in surgery.

As to whether the shooter is a right wing nut job, that's certainly possible, but I have some doubts. Apparently she used to be a Republican and is quite centrist on many views; that is to say, not an extreme liberal bent on transforming the entire nation. But then again, this is certainly not a logical act.
