What Will the Aftermath Be?

So in the wake of Congresswoman Gabrielle Gifford’s shooting many are wondering what the political fallout of this will be. Of Course I’ve talked about the dirtbags making political hay of this. Of course Carolyn McCarthy is up to her standard tricks.

McCarthy today will officially announce she is working on a bill targeting the high-capacity ammunition clips the gunman allegedly used in the shooting

Being a one-trick pony, this move isn’t surprising in the least. Also given that she keeps warming over the same stale gun bans, you’d think she’d learn the difference between a clip and a magazine by now. Of Course Congresswoman McCarthy’s previous blood-dance might be one of the better examples of bigotry and ignorance.

Sebastian also reports that one of his local Pols is pushing legislation that attacks the 1st Amendment. Authoritarians hate EVERY amendment on the Bill of Rights, not just the 2nd one.

Of course Representative Giffords is well known as a second Amendment supporter. Some have expressed concern that if she recovers and turns against the cause what harm it might be. I wonder how possible that might be. From what I gather (correct me if I’m wrong) but the Congresswoman owns and carried a Glock 19, the same model of pistol she was shot with. Also as a general rule modern-day 2nd Amendment supporters tend to be more rational and logical than, say Congresswoman McCarthy. Still she is recovering from a very serious injury, I do hope she makes a successful recovery.

The most amazing thing of the day is this interview with the father of the young girl killed.

The Money Quote is “in a free society we’re going to be subjected to people like this; I prefer this to the alternative.” Wow, I’m impressed at the courage it takes to say that, given that his Daughter hadn’t been dead for 24 hours at the time.

Also there is talk about Legislators taking steps to carry guns on their person for protection., and it appears that a lawful carrier was at the scene. but since the crowd had already tacked the shooter he simply helped restrain him and kept his firearm in his holster.

So overall I think the world is reacting to this in the logical way, and not lending credibility to the monsters who feel this needs to be exploited, often to illogical ends.
