Politics, Guns and Infighting...

When Congresswoman Gabrielle Gifford and others were shot and/or killed in Tucson, Arizona Saturday, little was said about Arizona's lenient gun laws. While guns in general, are way too accessible in the U.S.A. (and being funneled into drug wars in places like Mexico) and "unstable" people can get them in pretty much any state, better control may have prevented Saturday's tragedy.

Also in question is the ridiculously nasty fighting between the two political parties in the United States. While neither of them is fundamentally that different, the members spend enormous time, money and resources battling insignificant details. This has created a meanness that has split our people and pitted Democrats and Republicans against each other.
