No, this is what happens when, as a country, sarah palin, sharon angle, and christine o'donnell are serious political adversaries. America is a stupid country, and we live off of fear and bogie men. Owning a gun doesn't make someone think "i should go kill that congresswoman and six other people". Listening to people like beck, hannity, and limbaugh and taking that absolute garbage as fact is what motivates someone to do this. don't retreat, reload second amendment solutions take our country back close the borders! terrorists/druggies/people who speak more harder den us QQ  war on christmas, war on christianity the president is unfit to serve. he's a muslims/kenyan/communist Every day this is the kind of shit that gets spewed in the american media. EVERY. FUCKING. DAY. This has been non-stop since I started following the news (sixth grade, when 9/11 happened). Morons only take so much of this before they start taking action. In other words, don't use the deaths of these people to make an excuse for gun control. It's disgusting political pandering and has no purpose in this thread. | ||

I wonder how the media will react to Palin after all this. "CNN, Reuters & NPR no longer report that Giffords is dead." I guess she's still in surgery and alive. | ||

Not that I'm pro-gun or anything, but chances are if you're stalking and killing government officials in crowded areas you probably don't care what you're "allowed" to do. Allowed or not if you don't have the means to do damage you're less likely to do any. Edit: It could be a question of mentality as well considering how American politic works. | ||

Instead he would have used a hunting rifle, legal to own even in countries with gun control, and shot her lee harvey oswald style. stop with the gun control shit. Make your own thread about it. | ||

To be fair, she is far from the only source motivating these lunatics. We can't forget Rush, Fox News, Beck, etc... And on the other side of this; Yes, Sarah and others deserve to be called out on their contributions to motivating lunatics. Sure, they aren't forcing people to shoot others. But, they are promoting violence. Albeit in a round-a-bout, cover their own ass way. | ||

Owning a gun doesn't make someone think "i should go kill that congresswoman and six other people" No but it enables you to do it and its pretty easy to get a gun in america compared to other countries. | ||

On behalf of Todd and my family, we all pray for the victims and their families, and for peace and justice." Wow, I wonder why sarah palin jumped so quick to make a statement about this....maybe because she realizes her little crosshairs map is going to be dragged up out of the muck and thrown around the media for the next week? | ||

In any case, guess that'll be the permanent end of "Congressman on Your Corner", what congressman would risk it after this? | ||

It takes one misguided person with a gun. Not the average person thinking that this is what is called for. One person can ruin things for everyone else. Things like that map with crosshairs don't incite masses to go on bloody rampages. But they may just help nudge certain people to act instead of talk. I'm not saying Palin incited murder, but to say that a prominent public figure using crosshairs as a metaphor for her targets carries some influence. | ||
