I'm predicting nothing as I've heard nothing remotely close to factual about the shooter or his motivation. But I will state with 100% certainty it's the work of a deranged individual and their politics, no matter where they fall, are irrelevant.

That's what America has turned into.

If this was an act of political violence I would not be surprised if someone from the other side will get taken out. Starting a crazy and frightening cycle.

The horrible economy, the divisiveness, and the demagoguery have made the US ripe for political violence/domestic terrorism. It says something good about our country that we've gone this far into nightmarish economic times without an escalation in political violence. If this was an act of political violence, Giffords and the others killed and wounded will not be the only victims. Political violence fueled by economic trauma kills democracies, from Weimar Germany to Venezuela.

Why?

While I may argue passionately for what I believe I have never advocated we settle things in this asinine manner.

So tragic . . . if this isn't an argument for banning guns, I don't know what is.

Sharon Angle is another one. Remember her "Second Amendment remedies" remark?
