Check my post; I never said an ill word about her and I never said that she, personally, was going after the gun rights of law abiding citizens.
She appears to be a pawn they trot out for political purposes. I don't even believe she has the mental capacity to run a foundation, if we are to believe the story that she suffered from brain damage, but that is another topic altogether.

The fuck head who shot these Senators was a "law abiding gun owner" right up until the moment he shot someone. Almost all gun crimes are committed by "lawful gun owners" right until the moment they shoot someone. So that argument is just stupid.
Actually, he wasn't a law abiding citizen right up until he shot someone.
Again, if we are to believe the Wikipedia version of the shooting incident, Loughner abused drugs and
had two previous offenses, one of which was for drug possession.[57]Zagadka wrote:This isn't being covered as much because no one died.
I bet if you were to ask the average person about the incident they would probably only vaguely be able to say that a female politician was shot. They may or may not know the name, but I doubt that they'd be able to name the people who died along side of her, just like they can't name the people who were shot along Scalise.
My point was that two members of Congress were shot, and lived/are expected to live through the shootings and that one received an disproportional amount of coverage than the other.
