...they are innocent victims.
You have but to watch Jared Loughner's video on youtube to know that he is insane (psychotic and sociopathic); he is likely to be diagnosed a paranoid schizophrenic.
Towards the end of the video, you can see elements of contitutionally conservative ideas that he has come across, but the ideas and his use of language are deranged.
This guy is not one of us; he is seriously mentally ill. It is to be expected that the left and the mainstream media will exploit the tragedy to re-assert their assault on private gun ownership. You can expect the media to connect the shooting to the patriot/constitutional conservative movement:

Here is an opening paragraph from neocon FoxNews:
Jared Loughner, the 22-year-old man who sources identify to Fox News as the gunman in custody in the deadly shooting rampage Saturday in Arizona, is suspected of posting a series of YouTube videos that show a focus on literacy and currency -- as well as his distrust in the government.
This type of act is random, and happened only because of the man's mental disease.
That Jared Loughner came by a gun at all is a breach of the current laws. Either he acquired the weapon prior to his disease progressing (schizophrenia can manifest and become debilitating in late teens to early 20's, and he is 22 years old), or someone screening him had no reason to suspect his illness (a weakness in the law), or he stole the gun or otherwise obtained it outside the law.
This guy is a perfect example of the fallability of gun control efforts.
If more citizens were armed, trained to react to such situations, and practiced concealed carry, it might not have stopped Jared Loughner from getting off his first shot or shots; however, it is unlikely that he would have been able to shoot 18 people.
I am very sorry for all the victims.
