- Description
Tea Party leader Sarah Palin says 'Amidst the grief and recrimination following the Tucson tragedy let's not forget that if that girl had been packing a glock she might still be here today...' Context - A 22 year old man, Jared Lee Loughner, targeted Democratic Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, when he shot into a crowd listening to her speak in a supermarket carpark on 8th January 2011. Six people were killed (including a 9 year old girl) and 13 others injured. Gabrielle Giffords miraculously survived a point-blank gunshot to the head and is in an induced coma. Sarah Palin's incendiary rhetoric and imagery have been criticized and held to some degree responsible for the shooting. 'Packing a glock' means holding a firearm which is something that Sarah Palin believes in.
