Timothy Egan wonders aloud: What if a Tucson gunpacker had shot somebody else, not Jared Loughner, in trying to be a good citizen? It almost happened. A person was packing heat near the Rep. Giffords town hall, and "whipped it out" when the shooting started, and almost pulled the trigger on one of the people wrestling with Loughner.
That's why (Louie) Gohmert Pyle is such an idiot:
But the Tucson shootings should discredit the canard that we need more guns at school, in the workplace, even in Congress. Yes, Congress. The Texas Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert has proposed a bill to allow fellow members to carry firearms into the Capitol Building. Gohmert has enough trouble carrying a coherent thought onto the House floor. God forbid he would try to bring a Glock to work. By his reasoning, the Middle East would be better off if every nation in the region had nuclear weapons.
Yep, nutbar nations in the Middle East and nutbar GOP Congressmen are on about the same page.
