Congresswoman Shot and a 9 year old girl got killed in Arizona

There was a shooting in Arizona these pass week. The Congresswoman got shot in the head and went to the hospital, she is doing much better now, and is going to rehab which is the great news. The bad news is that a 9 year old girl got killed during the shooting. Here is the article for both of them. http://www.tmz.com/2011/01/08/congresswoman-shot-arizona-gabrielle-giffords/ and http://abcnews.go.com/US/giffords-tucson-shooting-christina-taylor-green-born-911/story?id=12578816. They had her funeral service these past couple of days. It was a very sad news to see her go.

That is quite tragic Poke. It may fuel the debate about tightening up gun laws in the USA. Some may agree and some may not. Australia tightened up gun laws after an incident not far from here.Though there is now a lobby to loosen up some of the very strict laws. I for one do not feel threatened by not owning a gun and find it difficult with the concept of carrying one for personal protection.What do other forumers think? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_Arthur_massacre_%28Australia%29

This didn't have much to do with gun laws. The guy who killed everyone is crazy....like serious mental problems.

I guess it can be two fold. Being able to carry concealed weapons as in the state of Arizona makes the mix with mental problems a volatile situation. Countries with restrictions on guns can limit the way these people confront those they want to hurt.
