Enough already with the liberati claiming that conservative commentary caused the attempted assassination of Senator Giffords! The guy that shot her and killed that poor little girl was a nutbag who walked into Wal-Mart, the Discount Store of Champions, and purchased a gun. Now I'm all in favor of gun rights but NOT for everyone - I don't want them in the hands of criminals, terrorists, or insane conspiracy-addled whack jobs! (And, I'll admit, there's an argument to be made potentially against Dick Cheney).
However, let's be clear on exactly what does kill people - PEOPLE, not guns! Well okay, people wielding guns - but only when they're aimed at other people! My father has a gun and he's only aimed it at enemy quail. Maybe the occasional turkey at Thanksgiving. And I have a gun too - a sleek little Beretta to handle anyone who tries to break into my townhouse and have their way with Yours Truly. I've faced down the business end of a barrel and that is the LAST time that will ever happen, I can promise you!
So it's not Glenn Beck, or Rush Limbaugh, or even Sarah Palin's cute little crosshairs on a map that sent some whack job over the edge - it was something else! Probably something he read, or a movie he watched, or some stupid video game. Weren't those Columbine kids into Natural Born Killers? Woody Harrelson caused Columbine! Didn't John Hinckley watch Taxi Driver? Robert DeNiro must have indirectly shot Reagan! Or maybe Jodie Foster since Hinckley was supposedly in love with her. Hey, you wonder if anyone ever told him that she's since come out of the closet?
So knock off the blame game, you stupid liberals! You wanna blame something for violence? Why don't you ask your friends the terrorists what book they read just before they blow up buildings or pizza parlors?
I totally agree with you. I wonder where those criminals got hold of a gun in the first place? I thought we have a law that does not allow the selling of guns to people unless they have undergone proper training on how to handle guns and to secure a certificate that they have undergone a psychological test. Meaning guns should not be placed in the hands of a psycho.
