Once again, GWOT Veterans are in the cross hairs of the very government they served to protect YOUR liberties… When you sit and read the articles, keep in mind how easy it would be to construe a wounded Veteran from recent operations in Iraq who loves to be prepared and live outdoors showing up at a surplus store. Having been wounded, and losing limbs, they can easily be ‘profiled’ according to the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force handout as a domestic terrorist. This after MIAC, and the DHS Report in 2008. BOHICA!

Its been a couple weeks since the tragedy of the Tuscon Arizona shootings by Jared Loughler. Since then we have seen loads of fallout, and a lot of this has to do with the instant speculation and jumping around that occurred in the ours after the incident.
I don’t even think the bodies were cold and dead by the time NY Congresswoman Cynthia McCarthy announced that she would be filing her standard response to any shooting, more gun control legislation. Its morbid, yes; but whats worse, that comment or the fact that somewhere in McCarthy’s office and the office of the Brady Campaign that there is a Standard Operating Procedure and Operations Plan setup for whenever a mass public shooting happens? I can see it now, a shooting happens, and both McCarthy and the Brady Campaign pull out a file that matches the event… “Well gee, if we just passed this law NONE of this would have happened!” Because we all know that the laws are what prevents crime!
Then we had the endless speculation about the motives of the shooter within hours of the shooting. First we had speculation that the shooter was an Afghanistan Veteran with PTSD (http://www.burnpit.us/2011/01/arizona-shootings-when-speculation-is-acceptable%E2%80%A6/) who went haywire fulfilling the wet dream of Janet Napolitano and DHS’s report on Domestic Terrorist threats from War Veterans based on the erroneous Vietnam Era Tripwire Veteran profile. New Mexico State Senator Linda Lopez (http://www.blackfive.net/main/2011/01/veterans-demand-an-apology-congresswoman.html) was one of the first to spout off about how Loughler was a war veteran… Once again, the anti-war Left shows its true feelings about this nations Veterans (yet another reason I continue to NOT trust the Left whenever they make claims about supporting Vets) by going to the old fall back of the Vietnam War; war vets are just cold killers. But then, in the next day or so, we learn Loughler couldn’t even pass the piss test to get into the Army in the first place! HE NEVER MADE IT PAST THE FIRST OBSTACLE, the Recruiter’s office. Yet, in spite of this, various news organizations and politicians continue to have credibility and have yet to issue any official appology.
Next bit of speculation involves loads of cheap political shots. Most of which (if not ALL of them) were directed by Liberal Democrats at the TEA Party, Republicans, Conservatives, and the even drew in Sarah Palin somehow… It all seemed to be started by Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupik said: “The kind of rhetoric that flows from people like Rush Limbaugh, in my judgment he is irresponsible, uses partial information, sometimes wrong information,” beginning the blame game. Yet the more we find out about the shooter, the more we find this kind of speculation so soon after the shooting to be nothing more than absolutely unprofessional political bias from the top law enforcement officer in Pima County. Currently, he faces a recall movement (http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/jan/20/outspoken-tucson-sheriff-faces-recall-bid/), and while he has won eight strait elections, this might end his career… Honestly, based on this kind of speculation, its a well earned fate for him… I know I’d have lost my job in the military with similar talking out of my anus!
Speaking of learning more about the shooter, there is a lack of transparency from Pima County, and Pima Community College where Loughler went to school. Instead of releasing information required by Arizona State Law, both agencies have been dragging their feet about releasing information about Loughler’s past dealing with each (http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/2011/01/12/20110112gabrielle-giffords-arizona-shooting-pima-county-wont-release-jared-loughner-records.html)… Meanwhile the speculation has led the usual suspects to question Arizona’s Gun Culture (http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/2011/01/11/20110111gabrielle-giffords-arizona-shooting-arizona-gun-law.html).
Once we found what a nut (http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/2011/01/10/2011-01-10_chilling_shrine_in_madmans_yard.html) Loughler was, the Left continued to spout the supposed fact that political ‘vitriol’ would continue to foment violence across the country… “Whether [political rhetoric] caused what happened in Tucson or not, it’ll cause the next tragedy,” Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA) predicts on FOX News. Never mind what these people were saying over the last decade prior to the election of President Obama when President Bush was in office… That all wasn’t ‘vitriol’ or ‘inflammatory’ one bit because they were ones using such language. Once again, speculation is rampant, and clearly isn’t about the shooting at all but silencing all dissent against their agenda to radically change the United States forever into their socialist utopia. Its easy to spot once you find out Loughler rarely watched the news or cared about politics (http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/jared-loughners-friend-says-suspect-did-not-watch-tv-disliked-the-news_b48040) (http://blogs.phoenixnewtimes.com/valleyfever/2011/01/jared_loughner_alleged_shooter.php).
Because of the McCarthy/Brady Gun Control rhetoric, and especially with local gun control groups in full campaign mode in Arizona, Glock and extended magazine sales are up in Arizona (http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/jared-loughners-friend-says-suspect-did-not-watch-tv-disliked-the-news_b48040) which leads me to believe, based on the NOV08 rush on fireams and ammo sales, that crime will drop for a time in Arizona as there are more armed citizens running around who will shoot back (this is seen in the 2009 FBI Uniform Crime Reports (http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/ucr) that show a drop in violent crime (http://www2.fbi.gov/ucr/cius2009/offenses/violent_crime/index.html) across the states with fewer gun restrictions…).
I should also mention, that during this ‘debate’ about firearms, I am going to ignore any moron who calls the high capacity box magazine Loughler used a ‘clip’. If you use the term ‘clip’ in reference to a ‘magazine’ you clearly have no reason to debate about guns at all as you have no background knowledge at all in the subject you speaking about. If you did, you’d know the difference between a ‘magazine’ and ‘clip’ and know enough not to mistake them as you sound like an ignorant moron if you do make the mistake. Especially if you have a college degree in Journalism or Political Science; and if you are Veteran making that mistake just start knocking them out (by the four count!).
