Target List Map Still On Palin's Facebook Page

PHILADELPHIA - Congressman Bob Brady (D-Pa., 1st) says he'll introduce a law to make it a crime to publish Web site that places "crosshairs" on a Congressional member, in a reaction to a map that appeared on Sarah Palin's Web site.

That map was taken down by Palin's web editors from the Web site Sarahpac.com on Saturday soon after Rep. Gabriel Giffords was shot in Arizona.

On Sunday, Palin's spokespeople said the images on map of Palin's "target list" were directional locators, and not gun sight crosshairs.

Palin also offered her condolences on Facebook.

1. What ought we do next time a RWer shows up at an Obama appearance with a holstered pistol?
The NRA/weapons industry is lying in wait to politicize that issue.

3. What I done when the NRA recently sent me some of their bullshit
I called and told them to never ever send me another piece of their garbage, pretty much using those words too. I told them I want nothing to do with them at all period.
I have free nationwide calling on my cell phone so I take advantage of it with the likes of the nra and credit card hawkers.

6. Other than Police/SS/FBI?
Follow the Laws passed by our Congress/Legislatures. Arrest/detain if unlawfully carrying within the Special Security zone. Investigate suspicious actions by individuals in or near the security zone. Enforce the laws of the land beyond the perimeter of the special security zone.

anytime I've ever seen a directional locater on a map, they were push pins, not cross hairs of a scope.

4. Illegal??
Seems a bit extreme to make it illegal. Not sure any court would agree that this would pass Constitutionality.
