You do realize that there was a man CCWing in a store nearby that day. He couldn't stop it. Don't you realize that someone like Loughner could just hector our politicians like that?

Giffords signed H.R.197&S.845

Establishes a national standard for the carrying of concealed firearms (other than a machinegun or destructive device) by non-residents. Authorizes a person who has a valid permit to carry a concealed firearm in one state and who is not prohibited from carrying a firearm under federal law to carry a concealed firearm in another state:

Notwithstanding any law of any State, a person who is not prohibited by Federal law from possessing a firearm and is carrying a valid license to carry a concealed firearm may carry in another State a concealed firearm.
If such other State issues licenses to carry concealed firearms, the person may carry a concealed firearm in the State under the same restrictions which apply in that State.
If such other State does not issue licenses to carry concealed firearms, the person may not carry a concealed firearm in a police station, in a courthouse, at a meeting of a governing body, in a school, at an athletic event, in an establishment licensed to dispense alcoholic beverages, or inside an airport, except to the extent expressly permitted by State law.

Giffords feared being shot at event
By Jordan Fabian - 01/19/11 08:37 AM ET

The husband of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords said his wife feared being shot at a public event with constituents.

In his first interview since Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) and 18 others were shot on Jan. 8 at a public event in Tucson, Ariz., astronaut Mark Kelly said that his wife and he had discussed the possibility of violence against her at least 10 times before.

"You know, she says, 'Someday, I'm really worried that somebody is going to come up to me at one of these events with a gun,' " he told ABC News's Diane Sawyer.

"Maybe we could use this as an opportunity to make things better," he said. "Maybe it's time to just tone it down, try to get back to a better place, try to get to a place where we can just disagree, and get rid of the heated, angry rhetoric."

"Despite her stated support, gun rights groups typically give her low grades on the topic. She has a D+ rating from the National Rifle Association (NRA)[98] and a D from the Gun Owners of America (GOA).[99]"

Gabrielle Giffords did not support your position on gun rights - wake up! And yes, I've been to Tucson...

Seriously, your positions are absurd...you have no right to carry at political events.
