I'm going to hell for this, but right now I'm really hoping it's not someone who can be pinned on the right. If it's an unmistakably lefty nut-job, the news cycle on this will be predictably downplayed and much, much shorter.
Giffords has discussed her gun ownership and support for gun rights [14] opposing the DC gun ban and signing an Amicus curiae brief with the US Supreme Court to support overturing it
I just want to put my plug in that this thread remain respectful and polite. People have died. I just looked at comment posts at both the Huffington Post and Fox, and I don't want to see comments here get anywhere close to the disgusting comments I was reading on those sites.
My entire paycheck on its a left-tard. If it were someone that could be loosely connected to the right or tea party, we would already be hearing about it.
Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin is targeting 20 House Democrats who voted for the nation's new health care law and who represent districts that Sen. John McCain carried in the 2008 presidential election.In a website launched on Thursday, the six-month anniversary of the health care law, Palin puts a bull's-eye on 20 House districts under a headline that reads, "We've diagnosed the problem…Help us prescribe the solution."Included among Palin's Democratic targets: North Dakota's at-large Rep. Earl Pomeroy, Southeast Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and Virginia Rep. Tom Perriello.
Speaker of the House John Boehner issued the following statement about today's shooting:“I am horrified by the senseless attack on Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and members of her staff. An attack on one who serves is an attack on all who serve. Acts and threats of violence against public officials have no place in our society. Our prayers are with Congresswoman Giffords, her staff, all who were injured, and their families. This is a sad day for our country."
Looking at the Wiki link she's pro-gun and immigration reform
Giffords was enviro-weenie enough to have picked up an endorsement from the Sierra Club, so I'd suggest all options are open right now.
Wasn't confused, was just running with the term enviro-weenie as her alternative energy views are another potential motive. Whoever did this, you're going to hear a lot about them and their motive.

Yessss, a congresswoman has apparently been pretty much executed by a man walked up to her. This is the biggest news story since the BP spill, but don't let that get in the way of a good bit of paranoia.
