It seems that one Arizona representative believes the victims in the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, because they were not armed, contributed to the harm brought on them.
Please follow over the jump.
AZCentral is reporting that Arizona Representative Jack Harper (R-Surprise) is blaming the Giffords shooting on Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik. Harper accuses Sheriff Dupnik of not providing for the security of Rep. Giffords.
But this is not Harper's most preposterous idea. After 20 people were injured from gunshots and six were killed, Harper believes there were not enough guns on the scene. According to AZCentral, Harper is quoted as saying the following:
"When everyone is carrying a firearm, nobody is going to be a victim," Harper continued. "The socialists of today are only one gun confiscation away from being the communists of tomorrow."
The loathsome comments of Arizona Rep. Jack Harper (R-Surprise) just illustrates that the gun insanity continues in Arizona.
Please keep Rep. Giffords and others injured in the Tucson massacre in your prayers and thoughts.
