After long hours of reading about him my opinion is he is just a nut. Not right wing, nor left wing. An all around nut. At first, because he shot a Democratic Representative, I thought right wing. Now I believe he picked her because she was his Congresswoman and thus the most close representative of our government. A government that he hated. How he came by that hate I do not know.

Clearly he is nuts. But the Democrats will not miss this opportunity to score as many Political points as possible, even before the bodies have been buried. Then, when the congresswoman is able to be wheeled around in a chair, in a Jim Brady like state of mind, they will wheel her on to the house floor, and use her to push for all kinds of gun control revisions, and to silence "right wing talk radio". This is too good an opportunity for the Jackels to waste.

It is discourse like yours, templewest, that makes people mad. I think you are part of the problem, not the solution.

Many times over the years I have read that one out of four people will require some form of psychiatric "help" in their lifetimes. In a society where guns and other weapons are so readily available it is a wonder that we do not have more violence that we have seen.
Several years ago I posted that the uprisings are coming. Political instability and outlandish violence will be common in the future. What proactive measures are we going to take to forestall the coming time of troubles? Other than buying fortified farmsteads from hucksters like me, there has to be other measures that we can take.

It appears possible that the shooter is anti-Semitic. The poor Congresswoman he shot happens to be Jewish.
In any case he is seriously deranged.

At best, you will see some measure to tighten up gun sales to nut cases. |

The problem is proactively defining nut cases. If somebody has a history to threatening to kill people, THAT generally qualifies. Loughner should never have been allowed to buy that gun. Hell, he wouldn't even qualify for membership in a Well Regulated Militia unless it was in Michigan. (They do things differently up there.) |

As time goes by, I will be interested is finding out what the Loughner parents were like. Some neighbors have likened the household to The Adams Family. The father apparently never worked after Jared was born. He was a "stay at home dad"? For a man that had every minute of ever day to mentor and keep an eye over his son, boy, he scores pretty low.

I don't think I would have put it quite that strong, but I think your response is a little quick. I want to wait and see just how this plays out. From recent history, I suspect Templewest will be pretty close to on target. |

Unfortunately, I have a sister who has had some issues and she married a guy who never worked a day after they were married over 15 years ago! They have two children. All I can say is HUGE red flag. I hope and pray the children turn out ok... but its the boy I worry about. A boy cannot grow up normally with this type of roll model. |

From recent history, I suspect Templewest will be pretty close to on target. What is the problem with pointing out that our current laws facilitate massacres like the one in Tucson? Templewest seems to think that debate on the topic is wrong. Do we lose our First Amendment rights when it comes to discussisng the Second? No. We don't. |
