Just heard on the news that Tucson Congress woman "Gabby" Giffords has been shot while at an event in Tucson. Apparently several other people were shot as well. She is alive and at a hospital but nothing else has been said.
I wonder? She's been very active on closing the border. Could it be the cartels?
You can damn well bet the anti-gun people are gonna be on a roll with this.

Our forefathers did not politely protest the British.They did not vote them out of office, nor did they impeach the king,march on the capitol or ask permission for their rights. ----------------They just shot them.

"shot in the head" doesn't sound good.

Reports indicate that the shooter was caught almost immediately.
Be interesting to find out who he is.

Just looked on Democratic Underground and people there are blaming the tea party.
Talk about some brain dead sumbitches.

I'm guessing some latino punk who is out to make a name for himself rather than action by a cartel.
Hope she makes it.

That's an understatement... the pot was already at full boil. FYI, CNN is reporting a dozen people shot.

Eyewitnesses are saying that the gunman rushed up and shot her point blank in the head.

JHC...her assailant will be the headline and cause of so many theorized sub-plots that the simple fact he's a frikken,whacked out kid will be lost on many.

Prayers to the families!
Regardless of Political party this should never happen. She was good and bad, but she was still a person. This is senseless, cowardess and stupid.
Idiots!
