Gunfire in Tuscon

Todays' shooting of Arizona Representative Gifford shows just how callous people have become in this country. The shooting of innocent people for no other reason than to satisfy some internal hatred is a sign of something gone terribly wrong in this world. We can pray for those whose lives were lost and their loved ones. We pray for those injured and all those who will feel pain caused by this twisted sick shooting that did not have to happen.

I hope that certain people do not use what happened today as a cause against groups who have worked so hard to make change in America in this last election. I have in mind those who are so much against the TEA party. There has been lots of vicious accusations made against the T-party since they came on the scene I can see where this could be the perfect time for certain groups to call for some type of action on either T-party gatherings or more calls against gun rights. Some groups have in the past jumped in after these types of incidents and tried to use them to bolster their own special interest.

I hope I am wrong but I have seen what those on the left, who are hell bent against gun rights, have done in prior circumstances and this would not be any different for them to take advantage of this situation and use it against those on the right. The progressives, liberal/left of America have been looking for something to take the momentum away from the right since their big defeat in November and this would be their chance. Although this has absolutely nothing to do with the TEA party or the right I just see the tension that exists already in this country and timing in some circles is used without conscience.
