Politicizing the Arizona Tragedy

First of all, our prayers go out to the families and victims of the horrific tragedy that took place in Tucson over the weekend.  We pray that God will bring comfort to them in this time of trial.

The political left is trying to pin this tragedy on gun owners and conservative talk radio.  Never mind the fact that this creep hated the Bible and the U.S. flag, loved the (censored by dtom) and (censored by dtom) and, according to his friends, was a drug abusing lefty.

But why let the facts get in the way?

Already, we see the pattern we witnessed in Columbine, with liberal politicians flocking like vultures to pick political advantage from a tragedy.  Some have blamed people who, like us, are outraged at the unconstitutional, anti-gun contents of ObamaCare.

And New York Congressman Carolyn McCarthy has already announced her intention to suck political benefit from the shootings by introducing anti-gun measures.  These apparently include a magazine ban and a gun show ban, notwithstanding the fact that Jared Loughner bought his firearm from a retailer and underwent a Brady Check.  (The Instant Check is an unconstitutional requirement in itself, which has failed to stop “gun violence,” but that’s an issue for another day.)

The calls for banning or restricting gun shows have also spread to the state level.  Over the weekend, Virginia State Sen. Janet Howell called for closing the so-called “gun show loophole” and then put GOA in her crosshairs.

“I think it is imperative that my constituents understand that the Virginia General Assembly is yielding on every gun issue to a fringe group called the Gun Owners of America. They make the NRA look reasonable,” she said.

Thanks, Senator Howell, we’ll take that as a compliment.-[source]
