I do think it's an opportunity for President Obama and the Republican leadership to come together and jointly try to sort of see if there are ways they can get everybody to calm down, to tone down the rhetoric in our political discourse.

But I also think for Bill Maher to call it the Assassin's Lobby is pretty deeply offensive to a whole lot of people.

I think it's insane that people like this are able to get guns. How many incidents does it take like this for us to realize that people who should not have guns are able to get them too easily?

I'm very much for toughening the gun laws. And in fact, the Arizona law was loosened with regard to concealment.

Tucson, Arizona, if that doesn't make the case, I don't know what does.

This will be a moment for real bipartisanship, to try to get us pulled together.

The law has been loosened in Arizona, unfortunately. And he could carry a concealed. What are we doing allowing a 22 year old to carry a concealed weapon around like this?

We have lowered the standards. The NRA has been behind this.

I think both parties are on probation, on probation as they head into 2011.

If they come in, and they're simply the party of no at every turn, they're recalcitrant, I think they pay a price.

I think we're in a 'three strikes and you're out.' I think this is just the first strike.

I think we expect the director of national intelligence to know when some big operation is going down against al Qaeda by one of our closest friends in the world.
