Our thoughts and prayers\u2014and the thoughts and prayers of all our member organizations\u2014are with the victims and survivors of this terrible tragedy. We hope for a full recovery for all of those who lie wounded today. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Sadly, Saturday\u2019s tragedy was both predictable and inevitable. Insurrectionist rhetoric\u2014which posits that the Second Amendment gives individuals the right to take violent action when they believe that our government has become \u201ctyrannical\u201d\u2014was once confined to the dark corners of gun shows and the Internet. In today\u2019s America, however, it has become a \u201cmainstream\u201d idea that is widely promoted by movement conservatives, high-profile media figures, and even elected officials and candidates. Tucson was not unique\u2014since the conservative wing of the Supreme Court embraced the insurrectionist idea in the D.C. v. Heller decision in 2008, there have been numerous threats and acts of violence against government officials. <\/strong><br \/>\nAdditionally, America\u2019s weak gun laws continue to allow individuals who are obviously deranged to legally purchase semiautomatic firearms with high-capacity ammunition magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. Jared Lee Loughner\u2019s history of mental illness, substance abuse and violent threats was well-known to law enforcement, the U.S. Army and his educators at Pima Community College. None of this, however, was detected by an instant, computerized background check that takes just a few minutes and involves no actual investigation of the gun purchasers. <\/p>\n<p>If we are to avoid future massacres, our elected officials must institute policies that prioritize public safety and human life over gun industry profits. And they must speak out in no uncertain terms against <strong>poisonous insurrectionist ideology <\/strong>that threatens the integrity of our democracy itself.<\/i> <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Insurrectionist ideology?
