Heck.. his own shooting only involved six bullets.

This was an isolated incident. 30 round clips are useful for a number of reasons. Especially at the gun range. If these clips are made illegal, do you think folks will no longer be able to obtain them?

The guy's an ass.

He got shot and he's made lemonade out of lemons. Gotta hand it to him.

And I hope Kevin knows him intimately enough to call him an ass.

He's a public figure whose claim to fame is being in the wrong place when someone wanted to kill Reagan. Every time there's an opportunity to introduce gun control, he places himself in the limelight as if 20 something years later, his wheelchair gives him some kind of magical moral authority.

People who make hay out of children being shot are prone to be called an ass by me. Such is life.

I am not so sure that James Brady has the thought capacity to make some of the decisions that are made in his name when things such as this happen. I believe his wife and others are advising him and imay be taking advantage of his unfortunate situation. Maybe he is calling all the shots but I don't think so.

This is also interesting.

Some Arizona Republican party officials resign after Tucson shooting


By Emi Kolawole

While federal lawmakers debate how best to increase safety for themselves and their staff, some Arizona Republican party officials are choosing to leave office in the face of threats.

A conflict that has been going on between local Arizona Republicans came to an end in the wake of the shooting in Tucson on Saturday when Arizona's Republican District 20 Chairman Anthony Miller and several others chose to resign.

The Arizona Republic reports that Miller, 43, a former campaign worker for Sen.John McCain who was re-elected to a second one-year term last month, has been concerned for his family's safety by constant verbal attacks and blog posts from some local committee members with tea party movement ties.

Miller told the state Republican Party Chairman Randy Pullen via e-mail that he was quitting. "Today my wife of 20 yrs ask [sic] me do I think that my PCs (Precinct Committee members) will shoot at our home? So with this being said I am stepping down from LD20GOP Chairman...I will make a full statement on Monday."

Miller, the first and only African-American to hold the party's precinct chairmanship, said he had been called "McCain's boy," and that, during a speech, a member of the audience made the symbol of a gun with his hand and pointed it at him. "I wasn't going to resign but decided to quit after what happened Saturday," Miller said. "I love the Republican Party but I don't want to take a bullet for anyone."

Miller is not alone. The newly-elected Dist. 20 Republican secretary, Sophia Johnson, first vice chairman Roger Dickinson, and former district spokesman Jeff Kolb, also quit.
