Is a political party to blame here? I think absolutely not. This patriotic woman who I am admiring more and more as I hear more about her, was an avid proponent of the second amendment so she herself would not condemn the right to carry a gun.
She was doing what she believed in and it appears that her peers from both sides of the aisle like and respect her very much. Her husband is described as being "beside himself" right now. Of course he is. It is personal and tragic and terrible, especially to her family and the people who are close to her.The seconds and minutes are dragging by like years for them as she is unresponsive in her drug induced coma.
The world has changed and more sick people know more, and more quickly about where public figures are.
Sadly, now, much has to be changed about how freely our congress can move about the world.
It isn't new, that people serving in these capacities are targeted. We have a lot of assassinations in our history.
We just can't make this deed political when it isn't. Other than someone was incensed about one of her beliefs, perhaps.

Some of these assassinations seemed to occur at the politician's home while shooting through a window.
And there are many people with mental illnesses like schizophrenia who never do anything violent.
The 2010 political climate does seem to have contributed to this 22 year old's frame of mind and its sounds like he had the intent to take lives and planned this out. Sounds like premeditated murder to me.
