The tragic shooting in Arizona has definitely stirred up a hornet's nest Everybody wants to know why and how such a thing could happen. Who all is to blame? What do we have to do to keep this from happening again? The internets are all abuzz about who is blaming who and who is talking about it and who is backing off and to be honest, while I think it is good to have conversations about this, I'm pretty sick of it already. It's a good thing to have a logical, conclusion-focused debate about what happened but if you are blaming anybody except the shooter for what happened you are wrong.
No sane person could see Sarah Palin's "Target Map" and from that decide to commit murder. If it is Rush Limbaugh's fault that people are dead then let's blame the tortillas in my Mexican food for making me fat. Just because Glock makes a magazine that holds 33 rounds does not mean you have to go on a killing spree with it. The shooter (his name not mentioned here for a reason) made the decision. The shooter was a mental case. How do we keep mental cases from making the decision to shoot people? You don't. There is nothing you can do if someone makes the decision to go off the deep end and legally buy a gun and then use it for nefarious intent. The only thing you can do is be a trained and legal gun carrying citizen who shoots the mental case after his first shot.

I don't love the crazy guns so much, but there are many of the rational ones that I'm quite fond of...
