Stay classy.
Not mocking her injuries, but rather her political party, I'm thinking. Liberals don't think - they only feeeel.

Funny you should mention James Brady. Another man, who while suffering a tragedy, let his personal fears control his critical thinking.

Why haven't either Brady or Giffords come out to fight mental illness? That's the real reason both of them were shot.

"Pinking" every darn thing is a pretty "big public to do," wouldn't you say?
I don't think Komen is trying to trample on anyone's rights.

MILLIONS.
No, they do not. Millions disagree with her, and think she is mentally disturbed for even considering restricting our civil liberties. At the very least she should be disarmed and never allowed to own a firearm. At least that is one mental wacko we can prevent from ever owning a firearm.

More than "tough," impossible is the word I would use. No matter what new laws they come up with millions will refuse to comply. If they go too far with their restrictions on our constitutionally protected rights, then there will be violence. I guarantee it.

The day Bloomberg gets to impliment his idea of society on me and the nation is the time I will seriously consider renouncing my citizenship. Let him stay in NYC and control his willing peasants there, but not me.........

As for Gifford, she is a pawn in the liberal progressive wing of the DNC.

In an incident that left six dead and 14 injured, the real victim was WHO???

Regulaton does not equal deprivation.
The Second Amendment is regulated, believe it or not, and the victims of firearm violence benefit from this regulation. Any hint of registration, or prohibiting personal sales without a background check, and it amounts to deprivation, and that will spark a lot more violence.

It's refreshing to see that Democrats have finally picked a person with measurable and unrepairable brain damage to represent them as a party. No longer do we have to wonder "are they really this stupid or is something wrong with their head?".

The real pawns are the congressmen that do the bidding of the NRA in return for their financial support, it's nice to see grass roots action that has everyting to do with belief and ideals.
