“I would observe, we saw the district of Gabrielle Giffords had crosshairs put on it. As a lifetime rifleman and shooter, I know what crosshairs signify when you put them on somebody, and I know what happened. One other quotation: ``If ballots don't work, bullets will.'' So here we have a denigration of the great debate and the system of government of ours where threats are made. Members of this body have a duty to speak out, as do members of the media who have been saying these kinds of things and leading us into a time when we create a threat not just to the lives and well-being of our Members but also to the lives and well-being of this country and its debates.”
