"Most Americans say stronger gun control laws are not the answer to the shootings last weekend of a U.S. congresswoman and the killing of six others."
"A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey, taken Monday and Tuesday nights, finds that only 29% of Adults think stricter gun control laws would help prevent shootings like the one in Arizona last Saturday. Sixty-two percent (62%) disagree and say stronger gun control would not make a difference. (To see survey question wording, click here.)" ... |

"As we talk about a new ban on large-capacity magazines, lets consider the history. Back during the 1994-2004 'assault weapons ban,' Congress never banned large-capacity magazines. It banned their manufacture and import. If you had one, you were as free as can be to use it and even sell it. Between the time Congress passed the law and the day the law went into effect and even during the debate over it manufacturers cranked them out by the gazillion to get them grandfathered in. It's entirely possible that the 'ban' put more large-capacity magazines on the street than would have been there without the ban." ... |

We know he was crazy, but he did fix on this Congresswoman as the object of his twisted rage. We cannot measure the precise components of his delusions, but those who say the crime was primarily the result of Arizona`s loose gun laws and political climate are less accurate, in our judgment, than those who attribute it mainly to the shooter`s schizophrenia. ... |

They knew nothing about the killer, but it was clear they were cocked and ready with a template that fit their jaded view of anyone who owns a gun."
"Reporters were loaded for bear. Without even a shred of proof the delusional killer had seen Sarah Palin's election-related political comments, or had ever listened to Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck, they began shooting off at the mouth, saying that "incendiary" language from Palin, Limbaugh and members of the TEA Party was to blame for what had happened.

"Gun guru Gabe Suarez and I got into it a bit when I called him insane. Setting aside any question of whether or not Mr. Suarezs past behavior indicates less than robust mental health (Jesus loves him this I know), I took Suarez to task for suggesting that a shooter should keep his finger on the trigger whilst pointing a gun at a bad guy, when not in the actual process of shooting them. This struck me as the worst kind of advice: the kind that can get innocent people killed. Again, Suarez knows more about gunfighting than Ill ever know. But that doesnt make him right. In fact, in this, Suarez is dead wrong. First, lets take another look at what he actually said on the subject on his warriortalknews.com blog . . ." ... |

It can be argued that putting holes in deer or elk for meat is reasonable; that equipping cops and soldiers with the ability to administer holes is reasonable; and that allowing people to put holes in targets for recreation is reasonable. But the ability to deliver holes represents an awesome power the power to kill, quickly and impersonally. Saying such power should hardly be regulated at all the NRA's basic stance is ridiculous and irresponsible. Even the most ardent gun-control advocates aren't saying normal, law-abiding citizens can't have weapons for whatever reason. ..." ...

Yet it still seems wrong that a nutjob who was considered too dangerous for a math class, and who was viewed by the military as too dangerous to tote a weapon, could nonetheless be judged, under federal law and the state of Arizona, as sufficiently fit to speedily obtain a semiautomatic Glock down at the local chain store." ...
