Her husband is a Navy officer. I am sure he recieved training on what his oath to the Constitution means. The 2nd amendment is not about militia's like many Democrats misinform people about. It is about keeping the government honest and fearful of it's people. Read the biograpies of our founding fathers if you disagree you will be shocked about it. Nazi Germany shortly before world war 2 began confiscating all guns.In America the plan is to go slow. Few baby steps each time. Since an all or nothing strat would fail. Take few laws against guns now each time some criminal does something then add few more. You don't see anyone suggesing Obama disam his secret service or Bloomberg removing the best hired guns in the buisiness and giving them just tasers and mace to do their jobs. Also you don't see airplanes no flying because terrorist turned them into the most destructive weapons American citizens have ever been attacked with. Matter fact recently quietly behind the scenes airlines started let Congress and certain other "individuals" to skip the virtual strips searches the peasanst must submit to to fly or else.

What gets me is if Gifford had had a gun on her she may have been able to stop the nut before he got to her...instead of standing there like a sitting duck.

"Control" is not about guns. They know that will not stop the criminals. They want to control the population that actually is intelligent enough to finally realize how badly our system has been suborned by the few "elite".
