Guns in Arizona and Other Comments

Apparently, this is legal in Arizona. No arrest was made.

It was the second day that an assault rifle had been seen at a political event

Phoenix, Arizona

Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) and Rep. Heath Shula (D-NC) state they plan to carry guns for their own protection. Both have carry and conceal permits in their home states, but say they won't carry their weapons while in D.C. Is this really the route we want to take versus restricting the purchase of guns? Jason Jared Loughner was too dangerous for his community college and for the military but had no problem purchasing and carrying a gun without needing a permit in Arizona. What is wrong with this picture?

Sarah Palin took down the map with crosshairs from her website prior to President Obama having an opportunity to address the country after Saturday's shooting in Arizona. Does no one else think there might have been some sense of bad judgement on her part to take such a rapid action?

There is a quote from Shakespeare's Hamlet, "The lady doth protest too much, methinks", a phrase that means one can insist so passionately about something not being true that people suspect the opposite of what one is saying. People are on the right are starting to sound this way to me since Saturday.

The left is calling for civility. The right is denying and defending. Who sounds guilty?
