I feel really sorry for that poor little girl and her family. Some

As for Gabrielle Giffords I hear she was a gun advocate. Big friend of
the Palin nut?

Well there's, a good outcome at least. If still capable of cognisant
thought when/if she recovers, I wonder if she'll have a change of
heart.

I notice that no -one was able to "defend themselves" with guns and
the gunman was disarmed by a little old lady and a couple of passing
youths who sat on his head.

Sick half wits you gun loving lot are.

Hi,
My take on the issue. U.S. does not need to worry about thread from
outside. U.S. society will self-implode. Just too many guns and wackos.
Why one would need a Glock with a 30 round magazine?
How many people die every year from gun related accident?

Vastly more people *don't die* every year because they were able to
exercise their basic human right of self defense, than die from gun
related accidents.
Hi,
Your idea of self defense? Self defense = Carrying fire arm?
Were you in the service? How well did you do in the firing range?

Carrying a firearm is one means of self defense, and defensive firearm
use often doesn't result in the firearm being fired. I'm fortunate, in
my years of concealed carry I have never had to draw my weapon. I only
once had to make an obvious reach as if to draw my weapon (with the
aggressor at a safe distance) in order to convince the aggressor to end
their aggression. Other people I know have had to draw to prevent an
attack. Many such incidents occur daily and are rarely reported or
included in defensive firearm use statistics.

No, I was not in the "service". I do quite well on the firing range.
