On the shooting in Tucson . . .


Once more innocent people pay the price for our society's inability to enact meaningful laws governing access to guns, and for the vitriol in our political discourse.  The latter (dare one say it?) originates by-and-large from the right, and not just from the fringes. Those who have participated in legitimizing this rhetoric need to step up, own it, and desist at once.
 
Our heartfelt condolences go to those who have lost loved ones, and our prayers go out for full and speedy recoveries for those who have been injured, especially U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords (D-Arizona 8)
