Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and six others shot in Arizona

Recommended Posts

First, I'd like to say it's very nice that the New York Delegation reacted to the sad and unfortunate tragedy here in Tucson, Arizona and in offering their thoughts and prayers as reported by NY1.

 

Representative Gabrielle Giffords represents Tucson. She underwent surgery at University Medical Center, and while critical, a trauma doctor is optimistic about her future.

 

Here in Arizona, while we believe in the Second Amendment, the belief is any capable person is free to posess a gun. Unfortunately, in a free society, one that doesn't require background checks, licensing, or registration, sometimes it is not easy to determine who is capable and who isn't until a tragedy like this occurs.

 

Does this reflect on Arizonans? To an extent, it does, and will, but it should not to an extent that a belief starts that every Arizonan who posseses a gun will use that gun to commit an assassination or a crime.

 

Those who do, such as this Jared Loughner, soitenly should have their right to possess a gun or any weapon and their right to freedom taken away.

 

My hope is that Representative Giffords makes it and that Jared Loughner pays his price for choosing to use his freedom in such a bad way.

We need better gun regulation. Most of the guns the Mexican Cartels have been getting are right from here!

 

We have enough more than enough gun regulation. Do you know what's involved to even get a premises license in NY county? It's just become a sham to milk law abiding citizens who wish to exercise their 2nd amendment rights out of money. And it empowers the "gun grabbers" - those who get illegal firearms who would do so anyway - when they are virtually assured the public as a whole is unarmed and therefore unable to defend itself. That empowers them.

 

What we should do is close the damn border for a time, stop giving illegals benefits, send them back, and spend all the money that's being wasted on this BS instead encouraging and aiding Calderon in his literal war against the drug lords. Start putting bounties on the drug lords' heads. Get rid of them all. Clean up Mexico, and then worry about opening up the borders and "border control".

 

And as far as I'm concerned the DREAM act is a dream...for illegals. No more anchor babies. 10 years of military service with an honorable discharge if you ever want to become an American citizen. Graduating college so you can take a job away from an American who was born here should not be cause to allow someone their citizenship.

 

Lots of people have come here over the years LEGALLY. No one should be rewarded it for doing it illegally, and the taxpayers should not have to pay one red cent to help an illegal while they're here.

Sorry, but I couldn't resist.

I disagree with many of Ms. Giffords's policies. Anybody pro-gun is mis-informed and simply wrong. That's always clear. Nobody can present a reasonable argument for public possession of guns. She was also one of the flip-flop Republican turned Democrats. Again, not exactly my political stance.

You realize her district is Tuscan, Az. not New York City, New York right? A 'liberal' Democrat like Anothny Weiner or Nancy Pelosi could never win an election out there.

The FBI, and ATF have taken over the investigation, and a spokesperson said thise definitely appears to be politically motivated.

Gun laws vary from state to state though. It's much easier to get a gun in a red state like AZ or TX, than it is in say, blue states, like NY and CA.

it could be anything, theres a lot of really out there people on both sides, i dont think its tea party related at all, Ive been to the tea party rally 2 years in a row at the MAssapequa LIRR station, theres nothing there thats dangerous at all, just average long islanders waving american flags and holding up signs protesting the liberals.

 

This isnt like britian with radical college students burning cars and breaking windows because the govt isnt giving em enough freebies. Or the Crown Heights riots.

 

From a purely strategic perspective its not going to help the republicans anyway, they now delayed the repeal vote in the house cuz of this, plus its going to make it harder to get support in the senate for a repeal.

 

You guys run your mouth about the tea party, how many of you actually attended a rally, and not just watched Chris Matthews spin on it. They have one at Massapequa LIRR station, right at the train station, you can take the LIRR to it. Seriously do I have to go there this year and take photos there for you to actually see what it looks like.

I'm not blaming the Tea Party at all. I'm just saying that they have incited violence on many occasions over the last 3 years..... I would never blame a person or group for someone else's actions.

 

I don't see how you can blame the tea parties if we don't even know if this guy was part of it. As far as I know tea parties are not at all violent. When most tea party events are over everything is clean and the area isn't trashed. On the other hand a good portion of liberal events often leave the place a mess. All the tea parties are against is their constitutional rights being violated by this government. Now I wish Giffords a speedy recovery. I'm going to have to say also that I agree with her 100% on the immigration bill. If your here illegally then you have commited a cruime and why should we allow you to be here.

1. I can totally see how you can blame a group that has incited racist and violent rhetoric in the past.

 

2. What the hell does immigration have to do with this?

 

3. What constitutional violation? Health care? How does that violate the constitution? Guns? The hell you need a gun for anyway, asides to do something violent?

so you find 3 or 4 guys with crazy signs, big deal and honestly I saw nothing offensive about the first one. Youre gunna condemn a whole group becasue of a few people out of hundreds of thousands. There was nothing coming close to that at the Massapequa event. But if you wanna believe the democrat spin on the tea party, go right ahead.

 

So far all youve done is thrown insults and made baseless generalisations. Where are your sources for your survey numbers, Adriana Huffington? MSNBC?

 

The MAssapequa rally actually even had a counter rally across the street on the other corner of Broadway and SUnrise Highway with Obama people, and guess what? there was no fighting or anything.

 

So wheres your defense of the rioters in Crown Heights, or the kids burning cars and rioting in England over tuition prices.

Nothing in the constitution says the government is required to provide for you health care, but there are clauses that prevent the government from forcing someone to purchase something.

 

As for guns, that is a constitutionally protected right, some people keep guns to protect themselves against others who want to do something violent to them. The historical interpretation was to protect people from an intrusive and invasive government like the british government was back then.

That whole "Tea Party" thing is a big fraud anyway. They are just moronic republicans. a REAL tea party would be fighting to get congress to have control over our monetary system instead of the private banksters of the federal reserve.

 

they do, during Glenn Beck's radio show, and i think also On Rush's show theres this one commercial for this one guys book about the dangers of the federal reserve, i forget the title of it but it has something to do with a silver dollar.

Good for Massapequa. One isolated incident doesn't tarnish a group. If this was a one time thing, he'd be dismissed as a loon and sent off to Bellevue. But this isn't an isolated incident, and this isn't just the Tea Party movement, but more the right-wing movement of our country. This goes back to Oklahoma City, the Atlanta Olympic bombing, all of those militia movements that haunted the 1990s, the bombing of abortion clinics and the murder of doctors, the damaging of legislature offices after the healthcare vote, the guy who flew a plane into the IRS building in Texas, other incidents that I can't remember right now. There is a problem with the right wing movement and violence that this country refuses to talk about.

 

I'm not saying that all conservatives or all tea baggers are gun toting terrorists. But there is a element of the right wing that is more knee-jerk and more threatening than people would like to talk about. If this was the left wing of our country, I would say the exact same thing (like how Bill Ayers was a left-wing terrorist who did damage to his cause).

 

And to your future counter arguments: Yes, we have left-wing eco terrorist in this country. Yes, we had the Crown Heights riot (though that really wasn't political, let alone a liberal problem). Yes, Britan had the isolated incident where kids rioted because they were going to start charging tuition. But you notice I didn't defend that.....

I'm tired to discuss with all these haters from the tea party.

 

What kind of person was he? I bet he was ...

 

... a uneducated fundamental bible racist cowboy from the middle-class, who slept with his gun and has watched batman movies, where he has learned that vigilantism and death penatly is right, and he has watched Gleen Beck and his propaganda show paid by the rich to brainwash the american people and indoctrinate them that socialism is a bad thing and Obama and the democrats are nazis, who want to kill his grandmother by the healthcare law.

No offense and not meant to be rude but did you know the guy who did this masscare Citaro? Do you know The shooter?

You a self proclaimed socialist who never been to America? Let wait to find out why this 'animal' (yes that what he is)before we come to conclusions?

I don't comment on German politics since I don't know much about it and never been there.

 

Don't believe everything you see on German TV, the BBC and CNN, Citario about US Politics. Let us find out the motive before we go after anyone on talk radio and your views. Right after the Oklahoma City Bombing everyone assumed it was a international "Arab" terrorist before the world found out it was Mr. McVeigh.

Eh? I don't even know where to begin. First of all, read a book. Crown Heights was a cultural riot, between the Jewish community and the black community. If you can find a political undercurrent there, then you might have a job at Fox News! Secondly, the riots in England are barely if at all Liberal vs. Conservative. These are English kids who are angry at a government which is letting education costs skyrocket. That's a monetary riot, mainly. The political element is that the administration raising prices is (naturally) Conservative. Do I condone their actions? No. In fact, I don't even recall defending any riots, but you can make that fact up if it helps your argument.

 

Crown Heights defenately had political undercurrents, Revrum' Al was there pouring gasoline on the fire and hes as liberal as they come. I would love a job at Fox News to be a famous commentator and have the money that they do.

 

Them british kids are mostly left wing kids complaining that they actually have to pay for college, let em get a damn student loan like we all do here.

No, i don't know who he was, that is the reason why i wrote "i bet".

That is sad, bc i would like to talk with people from other countries about international politics. If you don't know so much about it, that is not my problem dude. Nobody forces you to discuss with me so let me typing my comments! Thanks!
