Thoughts are out to Giffords, her family and anyone else impacted by this. Apparently Giffords was holding some type of forum, as three of her staffers were also shot.

Interesting stuff about her in the recent media. She wanted Congress to vote themselves a pay cut plus she voted against Nancy Pelosi.

"Giffords has discussed her gun ownership and support for gun rights opposing the DC gun ban and signing an Amicus curiae brief with the US Supreme Court to support overturning it. She has a D+ rating from the NRA and a D- from the GOA."

I am just horrified; we sometimes shop at that Safeway (it's 3 miles from my house), and drive by it almost daily. My thoughts and prayers go out to her and her family.

University Medical Center is the only Level One Trauma Center in Tucson (and all of southern Arizona); she has the best chance there.

I am still in shock.

Probably a manchurian Democrat.
Why would a supporter of gun rights have such a low rating from the NRA?
