This incident really could be used to try and further any political agenda.
The firearm was purchased legally. Do we need tighter gun control laws?
Sarah Palin ran an ad with Gifford in crosshairs. Palin's fault?
The shooter was a left wing nut job. Liberals' fault?
This was obviously a planned mass murder with civilian targets and political motivation, making it an act of terrorism. Do we need more spying on Americans? Why didn't our spies get this guy?
I just expect the worst to come from this.
