The Tucson Shooting Hero, Patricia Maisch, Speaks Her Mind


Hearing of Issa’s “plan to spend more of [his] time and our precious tax dollars on contempt charges against Attorney General Eric Holder,” Maisch wrote, only reminded her of painful memories from the “political games” following the Tucson shooting.

Holder was the “only one talking about the need for common sense gun laws, including a better background check system and tougher laws to fight gun trafficking,” she continued, according to the letter obtained by POLITICO.

“While we cannot turn on our televisions without hearing about ‘Fast & Furious,’ neither Congress nor the President have taken any action to fix the system,” Maisch wrote in a letter to Issa and Oversight Committee ranking member Elijah Cummings (D-Md.). “In the year and a half since that horrible day, the failings of our legislators to take even one single step to help prevent more senseless murders, is more than a disappointment to us, it is a slap in our collective faces.”
What's your opinion? Could it be that all the attention placed on the Fast and Furious scandal is a diversion more than anything else?

That's what I thought from the very beginning.

What do you think?  Please leave a comment.

Victims of gun violence

Here are some of the "murderers, rapists, thieves, muggers, robbers, home-invaders, and other scumbags who were shot down" by firearms or survived shooting incidents.





And if you are going to call people whop are killed by guns as "murderers, rapists, thieves, muggers, robbers, home-invaders, and other scumbags"--make sure you say that to Second Amendment Sisters/Armed Females of America founder Carma Lewis.

Make it really clear that is what those people are when you talk to her.
