They say “we must look into why someone would do this…” and “it came out of nowhere…” and “the guns were bought legally…” and “we need tougher gun control laws…” and on and on the typical drum beat goes.

Face it, we live in a violent world, which risk will only be mitigated by those of us who are duty bound having equal force to those evil aggressors that pose the threat.

Imagine baby-killers on trial.

It is not a consequence that she has fallen in the polls. Would she were met similarly (along with all of the proabortion candidates regardless of party affliation) all around the country. The only one I know that is in the Presidential race and on enough ballots to win, is Ron Paul.
