They thought all that "open carry" stuff and "lock and load" rhetoric was the bees knees.<br /><br />But now that it appears that all that might have contributed to an overcharged political climate which practically guaranteed something like the Giffords shooting was going to happen, they get all hurt and defensive, and claim that they're the victim:How DARE you say we had anything to do with it!

I've got a pretty active imagination, and I can't think of a single way Teh Free Market can do anything about it.<br /><br />Therefore: nationalized mental health services paid for by the government.
