What happened is awful, and what's almost worse is knowing how close I was at that time and if there could have been an intervention. Obviously no one knew it was coming, but the thought of being so close while it did happen...

Yeah and automatics are illegal yet it's legal to buy modifications to turn your gun into one.

I know it doesn't solve anything, but I hope the shooter (jared loughner) gets the death penalty. an eye for an eye...

You are woefully misinformed. Fully automatic weapons are perfectly legal in most states provided you go through the proper process. It involves filling out a lot of paperwork, getting fingerprinted, undergoing an extensive background check and paying a $200 transfer fee. It has been this way since 1934. The law was modified in 1986 making it illegal to transfer an automatic firearm manufactured after '86. Conversion of a semi-automatic into an automatic is a federal felony. Possessing parts to perform such a conversion is considered constructive possession of an automatic weapon and carries the same felony penalties.

It is a federal felony to sell a gun to a felon, an addict, a person ever declared mentally incompetent, convicted of committing domestic violence, illegal aliens or anyone who has been dishonorably discharged from the military. Allowing any of those people to possess a gun is also illegal. Any of those people are also committing a felony by possessing a gun. More laws make no sense. Criminals don't care about laws.

You can take about 99% of what you hear in the mass media about guns and gun laws and throw it out the window because it is either simply misinformed or intentionally distorted to create a sentiment against guns. In reality a wider availability of guns and more people exercising their right to carry a gun could have cut this asshole off short. It only would have taken one person taking responsibility for his own safety rather than relying on others to provide that protection. Wouldn't have to worry about a trial or the outcome or how much it's going to cost us to try this douche. Only have to worry about burying the SOB.

God I love coming back to seeing how you still seem to know all.

My thoughts and prayers from those involved. I have met the Senator twice before. She was always very polite and well spoken.
