"Tonight I will fight with Bill O’Reilly about “what must be done” in response to the shooting in Arizona.
O’Reilly says, “new laws that provide greater safety for public officials should be considered. We simply cannot have chaos at this level.”
But we don’t have “chaos.” America is safer than ever. Crime is down. Political assassinations are rare. They were once much more common. Presidents Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley and Kennedy were murdered. So were Senators James Hinds, Huey Long, Robert Kennedy and Rep. Ryan Leo. The shooting of Congresswoman Giffords was the first such incident in more than thirty years. There is little that can be done to stop a crazy person from committing a crazy act."
