    This a story about a woman who stabbed an MP. It is not about gun rights, knife rights, Tea Partiers, or leftist violence. We don't even know all the facts yet. So people get off the soapbox and stop extrapolating on every article on every little thing. It is not a little thing this man was stabbed surely but getting off subject is just lame.

    Dan, sorry, get the facts straight. The idiocy you spew is almost as inane as the rubbish coming from RODfromnc. To blame guns and not behaviors is the Democrat way of saying "I'm not responsible for my actions, blame someone else but me!" You are the same crybaby's that advocate over-legislation and "prevent me from myself" laws. Be a man, not a child. Accept that laws do not stop criminals, law abiding citizens should be free to make their own choices and not be subject to idot laws derived from scared little boys.

    Well this wouldn't have happened if someone had frisked her for a knife before
    she came in the building. Personally, I think all women should be frisked daily
    anyway. I would even volunteer to do the frisking ... at least the good-looking
    ones. He he ...

    All she wanted was a damn date and he, being a member of parliatment, didn't
    want to date a mere commoner. Serves him right.
