URGENT: Rep. Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona Shot at Event

perhaps you are unaware of how our nation came to be?

Listen to yourself. We came to be a government of laws. We are a republic that can vote out "congress critters" and take legal actions against wrong doing by public officials. Murder is a criminal act...and that is what you attempt to justify.

Please don't let him bring this thread down to his level, by arguing his stupidity here.

you do understand that I don't consider the violent part of this the first step, right?

He is discussing his opinion in a respctful manner Free. I know his is not a popular opinion-but it is relevent. I have to wonder if it is not similar to the one that the shooter in this tradgedy may espouse.
 
There is no place in a republic for murder, not even of a public official.

If an elected body forgets/disregards their constituency in favor of despotism, does that mean you'll roll over and become their slave?

Once again, IMO if it comes down to violence like this, it's no longer a republic.

I agree; but Yurt started a thread to specifically address this, which would allow the converstation to be held there.

No, I'll work to vote them out of office in accord with my Constitutional duty and rights.

It has come down to violence because of a disturbed young man who, it appears, thinks it's OK to murder a public official.
