I find it bad taste to bring politics into this shooting.

All the warning signs--we should have known, bla bla, some blaming Palin--oh come on! Really.

What about the ones who killed in a like methods who were always very meek and kind-hearted, "would never hurt a fly" types?

In short, you never know, but for every killing like this the other millions of gun owners that day did not kill, very responsible people.

More lives have been saved by defensive actions than by the few who die at the hands of thugs.

I speak from experience, a firearm saved my wife's and my life once. Four thugs against the two of us. They were so messed up they didn't even notice the 45 in my hand. After I was struck with a 2x2 upside the head I fired once, downing him and the others hauled butt.

A firearm is a simple tool like the human hand. It can be used to caress, to show tenderness, or balled into a fist used to inflict pain.

I feel for the dead, but am glad to hear of the congresswomans recovery.
