Comments from someone who knew him: Pothead, reclusive, obsessed with the 2012 prophecy, very liberal, very left wing, suffered a severe bout of alcohol poisoning.

Interesting. Thank ya kindly.

Brian.

I think all sides need to tone down the rhetoric that just feeds these wackos. I understand that the shooter�s favorite book is Mein Kampf and that he exhibited paranoid tendencies on a web site..

In any event, the possibility of additional gun restriction is looming - perhaps in the form of capacity limits, semi-auto limits, competency (and psychological) tests for purchasers), restrictions on CCW, etc. I certainly hope there are no serious calls for such, but they are possible.

Interesting. She was also known for liberal leanings also - better health care, higher veterans beneifts, improved Medicare.

LE is having a news conference in about 8 minutes...

This person seems to be just like the Fort Hood shooter.
Except he is not Muslim.

More like the VT shooter,I think. One isolated incident committed by some delusional paranoid or schizophrenic who has been a walking incendiary device since the Dems started moving back to center.

sheriff stuck it to the media outlets.

you know, through the years i have seen posts by a lot of idiots on this forum, but you sir can go straight to hell. With my apologies to the administrator for that remark.
There were a lot of people killed today, a lot of people wounded in MY state. Giffords is a democrat, i am a conservative republican, so WHAT!
This stuff is not suppose to happen, particularly in my state.
Giffords was and is a pretty nice woman that often has views different than mine.
That does NOT mean these things are to happen.

dickweasel

I also am praying for Rep. Gilford's recovery. It makes no difference which letter follows her name (D or R), she is a victim. As for the alleged shooter, if it is who has been reported, he would appear to be mentally ill, based on his ramblings on You Tube, I would say he is neither left wing or right wing. Schizophrenia doesn't have political leanings. Everyone is a threat to a paranoid personality.

IF that's true, the mainstream media will cover it up like an outbreak of VD among the deacons. Their mantra will be -- as we're already seeing -- almost entirely anti-gun.

Seriously doubting that all the rounds that hit folks came from the nutjob's pistol, as one of the staffers said he was tackled VERY quickly, and one of the tacklers was the next guy in line to speak with the Congresswoman.

This is not looking like an easy ride,....

Best advice is to ignore FOOLS, and their beaking off, it has nothing to do with our own local situation.

I'd like to thank those who chased down the "Inside Skinny", and in this case Mike762 for these links. Best they be got back up......

WATCH these, before they are taken down, would be my best advice.

Az. did NOT need , or want this,.....and I'd encourage all to remember that.

Eyewitness (an emergency room doc) I heard interviewed on Fox refuted any notion of a second shooter. Said the perp was the sole shooter and fired cooly and methodically for what he estimated to be 8 to 10 seconds before being tackled. Entirely plausible.

I have three of them, all made by Glock themselves.

Great RUMOR, but,....GOOD Hunters know how to wait

Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik said Saturday evening that the man linked to the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and others might have an accomplice.

"We are not convinced he acted alone," Dupnik said at a news conference.

Dupnik said investigators have reason to believe the 22-year-old suspect whom he would not name came to the scene with someone else. "We have photos," Dupnik said of the gunman's companion.

Nate T. Grey, of the FBI, referred to bringing "those responsible" to justice.

Six people have now died in the attack, said Grey, who is in charge of the FBI office in Phoenix. Five people died at the scene and a 9-year-old girl died at a hospital, said Dupnik.

There was no security at the event, a meet-and-greet outside a Safeway on the northwest side, Grey said.

Two of the people who were wounded have not been identified by authorities, he said.

The surgeon is "cautiously optimistic" that Giffords "may survive," Dupnik said.

Federal Judge John Roll went to mass at Tucson's cathedral, as he did every Saturday, and on his way home decided to stop and say �hi' to Giffords, his friend, Dupnik said.

"He was at the wrong place at the wrong time," Dupnik said.

Dupnik called two people who tackled the gunman "were brave individuals, noting that the semi-automatic pistol still had ammunition when the gunman was taken into sheriff's custody.

He said the gunman was a subject of, "some police interest in the recent past," and he has made death threats in the past, but not toward Giffords. There was no reason to worry about the Giffords event in advance, he said. The attack started at 10:10 a.m. amid a crowd of about two dozen people.

The gunman might have planned to shoot himself, Dupnik told reporters.

Don't bother with them. Only the ones made by Glock are reliable.

through the years it has been very easy and not considered worthy of comment to approach elected officials.
as a very young boy when barry goldwater was first running for office, i sat on his lap with him on his horse in prescott.
When mccain first ran for office, he was hanging around at the square in prescott.
I would have NOT thought it possible for someone to do this in this state. Which i guess proves i am an old man and not in touch with the times.
Heck, you could write or call congressmen/women in this state and they would respond to you.

for that matter, my wife seems to remember rightly or wrongly that giffords was at a border rally this summer along the border.

by the way greg, this morning was up on a 4x4 road off the gila river. 80year in a jeep with his 50something daughter had a flat tire. We stopped to change it for him.
Would you believe upon us leaving this rather good looking woman grabbed by hand to shake it,then kissed my hand?
Must be the facial fur i sport.

Random murder of bystanders. Yeah, he shot a judge and congressman. That makes him a political assassin at best. Then shooting those just gathered around? That makes him a cowardly, bent, twisted, perverted sonofabitch on nobody's side but his own. Rick, forgive me but there's no synonym. Doesn't matter how decrepid his past, how unfulfilling his childhood, or how persecuted he may have felt. I'll be first in line to throw the switch, drop the hammer or push the syringe. But he'll have an attorney, exposure and sympathy from some. Most likely trial delays and appeals. Just hope he dies as swiftly as McVeigh after Oklahoma. Kill him quickly, extreme prejudice.

a 30 rd. glock 45 mag?

i don't think so
