And if the argument had a gun, neither of the little girls would have tried to mess with it.

DONT STOP UNTIL CONCEPTS HAVE 2ND AMENDMENT RIGHTS!

[Gorjo MacGrymm]

Well said.

[Nikov]

Technically that would be a rotary cannon and I demand this conversation be side-tracked until you concede that point.

(That's nitpicking, for those who were wondering.)

[G-Flex]

Kids have a faster reaction time than adults, if little Christine had been carrying a .38 we'd be having a much different conversation.

Yes, mainly how does a girl get to carry a loaded gun and how can she shoot so well.

That, and how can she react that quickly to a man with his gun already drawn, who's probably already firing, in a crowd of other people?

I saw a picture of the little occult altar he had in Time magazine. The replica skull is presumably channeling the disembodied voice of Reagan.

You know this because being a republican, a replica skull is the standard way for you to communicate with the spirit of Reagan ( for the spirit of Tatcher you sacrifice a virgin ) WIKILEAK TOLD ME SO.

Haven't you watched family guy? Its just an impressionist.

Sharon Angle talked at length about ammunition shortages, and praised people for what she imagined was stockpiling for "Second Amendment Remedies" to a government they didn't like.  Loughner never mentions Angle or had any sign of listening to stuff like that parroted by rightwing talking heads.  That is irrelevant to that fact that what he did, shooting a Congresswoman he didn't like, is exactly what that kind of lunacy is talking about. 

If I were to pick a quote from one Government official last fall that could have influenced Loughner, I'd probably pick this one from Rep. Paul Kanjorski, D-Pa., in the Oct. 23 Scranton Times:

"That Scott down there that's running for governor of Florida," Mr. Kanjorski said. "Instead of running for governor of Florida, they ought to have him and shoot him. Put him against the wall and shoot him.

I haven't seen a quote yet from a Republican that comes even close to being as blunt about murder, as this one.  Ironically, it comes from an elected Democrat.  Angle's call for people to stockpile ammunition sounds pretty tame compared to this kind of disgusting rhetoric.

[Leafsnail]

It's not really asssassination rhetoric in the same way that "Second Amendment Remedies" is, but it's still pretty disgusting.  Nevertheless... well, I've never heard of this guy until now, wheras I had heard of Angle and Palin.

[Phmcw]

There are worst example of call for murder from reps (including one shooing a target with the name of his opponent on it) in this thread, and this has already been mentioned, and condemned.

[fqllve]

Yeah, I hadn't heard of him either. He's obviously a scumbag. But I wouldn't say he had any effect on Loughner because Loughner was a crazy bastard. Someone that mentally unstable could have read Goodnight Moon and come to the same conclusions.

Sadly, when I did a google search for Kanjorski it came up with a few sites where he's being used to smear all democrats. It'd be nice if we could just agree that this kind of talk is unacceptable from anyone and it no way reflects on people who share their political beliefs.

Apparently Kanjorski was already held accountable as he lost the mid-terms.

The full quote by the way is this:

"That Scott down there that's running for governor of Florida," Mr. Kanjorski said. "Instead of running for governor of Florida, they ought to have him and shoot him. Put him against the wall and shoot him. He stole billions of dollars from the United States government and he's running for governor of Florida. He's a millionaire and a billionaire. He's no hero. He's a damn crook. It's just we don't prosecute big crooks."

Reuter's reports on Gifford's condition, and more of Loughner's diatribes are found.  Apparently, they're basically self-narrated versions of his already known screeds on YouTube, as he wanders around his community college breathing heavily into a camcorder.  Getting a B and paying high priced tuition is genocide against students, and all government action is unlawful because of "the war" (which one, he doesn't name).
