Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Congress woman Gabby Giifords has been shot.

This is bad, very bad for our side.

Here is a young white man, obviously deranged, but not a Muslim who shoots a Liberal Democrat Congresswoman with a High cap semi-auto pistol, in gun friendly Arizona. Can't get much worse than that (for us), just hope he isn't an NRA member with a CCW.

This is the Liberal, gunbanners dream scenario, just stand back and watch the MSM go full bore on this and expect more restrictive gun laws.

The only good thing is that this didn't happen in California.

If you're done gloating,

.....PLEASE go back to bragging about your own good fortune and wealth.

Glock makes a 33 rounder for the 9mm, a 22 rounder for the .40 and a 13 for the .45. Can't say what the aftermarkets are producing, but I can state that many aftermarket mags do not function and very few will drop free of the well when empty. That includes the Korean mags that have been popping up lately. Junk, as far as I'm concerned.

Just a sad friggin' day in America.

A tragedy.

Ditto that.

The news has been reporting it was a 9mm. So I take it the 33 plus 2 according to the glock website?

I can see a lawsuit heading Glocks way and the direction of whoever sold him the gun 3 days ago. (CNN reporting gun was bought 3 days ago)

My family headed into town this afternoon and the road was still closed. Guess its reopened now. Either way it didn't seem like a normal day in Tucson. Did notice there was less traffic out. I am just glad my in laws were not there(thank God for old age). It's just odd to think it happened in my state, my city, affected my neighbors and my community. Most never expect it in their town. I was wrong and I am asshamed because I shoulda known better. I never thought of it.
This situation wakes people up. It has for my family. Sad that this world has turned out so bad.

Not done reading all the posts but that's the best news I've heard yet!

I am not gloating, If you are not concerned about the implications of this event I refer you to Columbine and previous high profile shootings.

You may remember some unpleasantness back in the early 60's that led to some law in 1968 that many here do not like.

Go back to Bragging,...you do it WAY better.

Thanks for the "History lesson", Spankojackoffalus.

I also remember some events SINCE 1968 like Ronald Reagan, after he was the victim of a nearly identical shooting, REPEALED some of the aspects of the GCA of '68.

What ant-gun legislation resulted from Columbine?
The liberal MSM trying to make hay out of a trajedy that had NOTHING to do with the behavior of the average gun owner does not automatically result in ant- gun legislation. It only HIGHLIGHTS the bogus arguments of the Anti gun crowd.

Other than Bill Clinton/ and Rosie O'Donnell trying to sir up schit -NOTHING happened after Columbine. Higher NRA membership and more guns sold. The assult weapons ban still sunsetted a few years later. More CCW states now than ever before. Pretty much only YOUR state's gun laws have steadily gone to hell in a hand basket since then. While you know doubt ,were sailing yachts with your anti-gun freinds.

Most Americans are SMART enough to know their rights should not be sacrificed due to the actions of a nut-job.
In Kalifornia, I am SURE your fellow members of the "Marin County Yacht club" support such bullschit, but here in the Heartland, not so much.

Thanks to the folks in "flyover country" as you call us,we now have a Republican controlled house. They will no doubt send their condolences to the victims BUT will not commit political suicide and hasten more of their membership into early retirement in 2012 by passing any stupid anti-gun legislation over this.

Did anybody notice ABC commie news tonight.

They reported that a reporter asked Gabby's father if she had any more know enemies, he replied,
"The TEA Party".

Damage done.

Of course the Tea Party did this to Gabby.

Ya'll need to chill a bit. Spanokopitas is a good dude, and he's just offering his opinion here.

Brian.

Yup,.....and I can't pull down and post stuff I can READ on my computer, which is strange.

Short takes......

"agents in FBI jackets milling about the location."

""We're getting out of here. We are freaked out,"

""He has kind of a troubled past, I can tell you that," Dupnik said. "(Sheriff Clarence Dupnik, and idiot with connections, and a prick with ears)

and THIS,....perhaps the lowest "BLOW" of all

"During his campaign effort to unseat Giffords in November, Republican challenger Jesse Kelly held fundraisers where he urged supporters to help remove Giffords from office by joining him to shoot a fully loaded M-16 rifle. Kelly is a former Marine who served in Iraq and was pictured on his website in military gear holding his automatic weapon and promoting the event.

"I don't see the connection," between the fundraisers featuring weapons and Saturday's shooting, said John Ellinwood, Kelly's spokesman. "I don't know this person, we cannot find any records that he was associated with the campaign in any way. I just don't see the connection."

..........We hosted Kelly at OUR range , too.

"Firepower Demonstrations" are Not about "Unseating" anybody, they are an old and revered American tradition.

Sad day indeed, and the Libs will lap this kinda' press up like dogs do with the chit from a scouring calf.

GTC

Oh,...Yah,....

between his bragging and razzing the board in general about his OWN personal good luck, and wealth.

Heads up,....this did NOT go down in California,...and if Arizona wants an opinion from California we'll goddam well ISSUE you one.

That post was ALL about gloating,...[bleep] "Chillin OUT"

GTC

So only Arizonans can talk about something that's national news?

Get off your high horse and go [bleep] yourself dude.

Brian.

now now. lets be reasonable here. Next thing I'm gonna read is you guys kissing and making up and then you guys [bleep] each other. This is not broke back mountain. It's 24hourcampfire. LOL

Sorry guys just had to change the mood a bit. Hope it helped.

Spano says, "The only good thing is that this didn't happen in California."

Brilliant Statesmanship there,...

.... VERY sensitive "National News" attitude,.....it's almost overwhelming in it's clarity, and lack of bias.

GTC

Yah; I'm amazed at the amount of ado about nothing.

The shooter is a bad guy, sure enough, because he shot up a bunch of regular folks and killed a kid.

But Giffords? Roll? It's just a politician and a judge, for Pete's sake. Why all the hoopla? Shouldn't government legislators and adjudicators expect to get shot at when they ignore the will of their subjects? Isn't that what the Second Amendment is about? I know government enforcers certainly expect to get shot at when they trample the will of the people: it's why they hide their identities, carry heavy firepower, wear vests, and ride in armored vehicles. Why should the other two branches of the State be any different?

"Congratulations: the computers say you won the election. So: here is the power to tax away our income. Here's the power to regulate away our livelihoods. Here's the power to throw us in prison for doing harmless things you disapprove of. Here's the power to conscript our children and use them up in pointless foreign wars. Here's the power to send thugs to break down our doors in the middle of the night and murder us in our sleep. Here's the power to make radical foreign terrorists so angry at us that they kill us by the thousands.

"Okay...got all that? Can you carry it? You okay? Great: good luck. See you on C-SPAN.

"Oh--wait. One more thing. Almost forgot. Here's a bullseye to wear on your back in case we decide you're getting a bit uppity in the way you use all those powers."

Sounds fair to me.

I don't think anyone wants a tragedy to happen in their locale. I wouldn't wish such a thing on anyone, anywhere.

Brian.

REPEAT!

""The only good thing is that this didn't happen in California."

...indefensible
