Fuck, we haven't had a shelter thread in the longest time.
Anyway, I hear she's actually alive at this point. Still though, she took one in the head at point blank. I'm pretty sure that it's only a matter of time.
EDIT: I'm really interested to learn about the motivation of the shooter.
Goddamit, chester :facepalm:
New "assault weapon" ban coming soon to a USA close to you?
'Michelle and I' you fucking retarded cunt.
The man really has no class.
Videos and writings by the shooter seem to imply mental illness and serious delusions ("Government mind-control" through "grammar"), but there was definitely a political motive behind the shooting itself (Or at least choosing to kill that particular person).
EDIT: Also, his favorite books include The Communist Manifesto and Mein Kampf. There's a lot of crazy shit posted by him on youtube. He sounds like he was pretty insane to begin with lol.
Looks like they were pro immigrant. The federal judge who died was the one who allowed a huge lawsuit filed by illegals to go through.
*waits for libtards to demand stricter gun control:o
Sounds like somebodys afraid for his life. /criesalittle
LOL thanks sarah palin

Everybody's gettin' mad at his videos now.
EDIT: Well, this one, anyway. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3L1lsLU-kUw
:facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm:
This only confirms my political theory...
The guy was nuts, but he wouldn't have done this particular thing if not for all of the inflammatory rhetoric being put out there.
I wish that the right-wing, anti-government would get together and rebel already so that we and the Feds can rid ourselves of them, or at least a decent portion.
I think this dude just wanted to shot into a political rally, it just happened to be Giffords. The other local senator, Grijalva, is much more hated by the right here, and rightly so considering he called for a boycott of his own state.
:facepalm::facepalm: Already blaming the right wing completely forgetting that there have been plenty of left wing crazy people. Lee Harvey Oswald, The guy who took the discovery building hostage months ago. Sirhan Sirhan and there are more. Crazy people exist and sometimes they hit political targets. Dont go around blaming any particular party.
Yeah but nobody shoots a congresswomen because Glenn Beck told them too. There are underlying causes and chances are he would have done something liker this anyway.

With his ideas of a new language, it could have easily been a lecture hall full of English students.
She sure did keep on living though

Shit.
Banning extended magazines will make us safe! lol
Anybody hear about the letter they found in his house? They say he wasnt acting alone....
:facepalm::facepalm::facepalm:
I really hope you're kidding:facepalm: A gun is a gun and a skilled shooter can be lethal with just about anything. Even a bolt action could easily take out a lot of people. Reloading doesn't take that long especially when so many people will instinctively run from the gun rather than trying to stop the shooter.
The gun and clip size isn't whats dangerous. It's the shooter. Just look at Charles Whitman and Lee Harvey Oswald or Howard Unruh. They didn't have state of the art weapons with huge clips but they sure as hell did a better job than this most recent shooter. The idea that limiting clip size will help anything is beyond retarded.
In if someone there had a gun on them maybe this shooter wouldn't have gotten to far. There is a reason you never here about somebody going on a killing spree at a gun show.
Ok my bad on that but you can't tell me that a magazine size counts for anything in a mass murder. Read up on the examples I provided in my previous post and you'll see what I mean.
So then why did Charles Whitman and Howard Unruh manage to kill more in a shorter time than most modern day killers with low capacity weapons? Why was Oswald able to get off 3 shots including a head shot in less than 6 seconds but the idiots at columbine only killed 13 between 2 of them or that guy at the florida school board who killed nobody?
I can think of plenty of examples of people murdering more with inferior weapons to people who had modern better ones with large magazine capacities. If you really think capacity is more of a factor than shot placement my guess is you know every little about guns.
So you agree that skill is more important than the gun? If that's the case should we ban skill?
So than you agree that your argument against extended magazines is wrong?
