Are there any members of Congress who were there in 2011 when Giffords was shot who are calling for increased security now but didn't then?

What about members who are saying this is the line in the sand re: partisan vitriol? Why was Giffords being shot not the line in the sand?

Why is it not "politicizing" the shooting to call for more guns and/or more security details, but is "politicizing" to call for gun reform?

Why are so many pro-gun folks resistant to proposals making DV a disqualifier to gun ownership, when virtually all shooters have DV history?

Why are many members of Congress (rightly!) angry about a violent threat to them at a baseball game, but not to women seeking healthcare?

Why have so many folks calling for the end of ideological vitriol today not cared about marginalized people who have been targeted & harmed?

I have lots of questions. I know the answers to them.
