Gabby Giffords should be going home after almost 6 months of treatment which (so far) has included trauma surgery, many days in ICU, at least 2 high-level MedEvac style transports, reconstructive surgery, 150+ days inpatient time, etc.
I'm not bitchin' about it, but what exactly did all this cost us?
Second, what about the costs of caring for all the other victims of that one shooting incident?
I don't think it's a stretch to assume we're talking about multiple millions here. So really what I'm asking is this: On what plane of existence does it make sense for a society to spend that kinda money for the sake of a manufacturer, a wholesaler and a retailer to make $36 on a 30-shot magazine?
