Would folks be as upset about this incident if it had been Pelosi, Reid, Frank, Clinton or Obama who had gotten hit?
Yes, actually I would. This type of action isn't warranted and only makes our case IRT firearms ownership, and liberty in general, harder to defend. It opens too many doors justifying increased scrutiny and limits on the people in an era that has seen too many abrogations of our freedom already. We have a method for changing things, and it was given good use this November, but it seems too slow and in the wrong direction for some. Newton's Third Law applies here, and the reaction to this incident may be very detrimental to our freedoms.
