'Reload!' vs. 'Bring a gun!': Unfortunate word choices but not the blame
Since the Arizona shooting which left 6 dead and 14 injured, including Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords , all one hears is blame, blame, blame.  Can’t we just say that the alleged shooter, Jared Lee Loughner , had problems beyond the scope of anyone’s total understanding?  Why is it so necessary for blame to be placed on one politician or another, or on one political Party or another?  Analysis, if not over-analysis, of the situation makes one blame Sarah Palin and &...

That Took a Little Longer Than I Expected
They will never learn. Never understand. I have the same gun Loughner used in his attack. A Glock 19. A very common high quality pistol. I also have high capacity mags. It's standard mags come with 15 rounds. Standard. Same gun, different people. The evil is not in the gun but in the hand that holds it. And Gabrielle Giffords, herself a gun owner and (from what I've read) a Second Amendment supporter, would herself probably be against this. The ability to buy a weapon that fires hundreds of bu...

Tea Party, Palin, Angle and Loughner's Second Amendment Remedy
 Jared Lee Loughner killed six people and wounded more than a dozen outside a Tucson, Ariz. strip-mall on Saturday. In so doing one might conclude Loughner was exercizing a Second Amendment Remedy.
