According to the article I read, the gun was an automatic of some type. If it was fully automatic, the gun should already be outlawed under existing legislation.

I doubt that Sportsman's Warehouse was knowingly selling an illegal gun.

His political leanings have very little relevance here. Sadly, though, this tragedy is already being politicized.
but they do, had he been right wing, they would have been blamed. it was an attempted murder on a politician, it will be politicized every time, his leanings will just affect the way everything gets spun

I don't think the Right will spin this as a leftist doing what leftists do. But as you say, if he was a right winger, the left would have done that.

Today, left or right, we should all be Arizonans.

Greene attended Mesa Verde Elementary School. She was the only girl on the CDO baseball team - she loved the sport, as well as horseback riding and swimming.

Yahoo updated story with the names of all those who lost their lives

Dupnik said Giffords was among 13 people wounded in the melee that killed six people — including 9-year-old Christina Greene, 30-year-old Gifford aide Gabe Zimmerman, and U.S. District Judge John Roll. The 63-year-old judge had just stopped by to see his friend Giffords after attending Mass. Dupnik said the rampage ended only after two people tackled the gunman. Also killed were 76-year-old Dorthy Murray, 76-year-old Dorwin Stoddard, and 79-year-old Phyllis Scheck, investigators said.

Go ahead. Sometimes there is a good reason to.

I'm trying to decipher some of his babbling for some sort of motive. Be it political or what have you. I'm getting nowhere.

I mean... his favorite books are mein kampf and the communist manifesto. Polar opposite in terms of political spectrum.

He talks about defining terrorism, and he says the government doesn't follow its constitution. He wants to create a new currency. He babbles about not believing in anything, and that he would not trust in God.

He is clearly insane, and talks in circles. Schizophrenic circles.

Isn't the congresswoman Jewish? Maybe that's an angle, but I doubt it. Sounds more like a crime of opportunity instead of something personal he held against her.
