I remember when Gabby Giffords and the people around her were gunned down.

Couldn't buy a bullet in the USA as soccer moms, hippies, poets, grandmas and democrats in general raced to the gun shops to buy ammo and more weapons. MSNBC was calling on the left to arm themselves for the coming assault from the right. The rest of the media proclaimed the hatred of the right and its attempts to stop all things democratic as a danger to the nation. And Fox News did numerous introspective stories on the violence of their followers.

No wait, it was a lone gunman.
