Seriously?!
While Ms. Giffords certainly has my sympathy for the violence she suffered, it should be noted that being shot in the head by a lunatic does not give one any special grace to pronounce upon public-policy questions. Nor does it give one moral license to call people cowards for holding public-policy views at variance with ones own. Her childish display in the New York Times is an embarrassment.- NROs Kevin D. Williamson

spew shit like this all the time.
They've managed to turn the victims of gun violence who are trying to change things, into "those who shall be mocked".
The worst are the comments on the YouTube of the Sandy Hook parents.
