First things first: my fervent prayers and best wishes go out to Rep. Giffords and her family, as well as the families of those wounded and killed by this piece of excrement. None of them deserved what happened to them, and the piece of crap that did it needs to fry - with extreme prejudice. And yes, I'll say it: I'll volunteer for the firing squad.
As for the reaction of those in Congress, I am a little disturbed by the haughtiness of those who believe that they need more protection for themselves in the wake of this attack. I say if they can afford it, they should absolutely hire more security for themselves out of their own means, not that of the taxpayers. Otherwise, they can live under the same laws and in the same environment they have set up for the rest of us to live in. If DC is a gun-free zone, then those laws need to apply to them too. If their district does not allow for "shall issue" concealed carry permits, then they shouldn't have any special privileges for self protection either.
They have created this little slice of utopia - they need to live it it like the rest of us do every day.
