Important facts to remember, before somebody decides that this is another "assasinated census worker with FED carved in his chest!!!" incident:
1: Rep. Giffords supported AZ's SB1070.
2: Rep Giffords is a proponent and supporter of National Guard deployments on the AZ/Mexico border.
3: Rep. Giffords is a gun-rights supporter who supported AZ's passage of Constitutional "Vermont" Carry (ie carrying of weapons without asking Massa's permission), and supported the Pro Gun arguments during Heller.
4: Rep. Giffords supported extending the Bush Tax Cuts, and has lobbied against numerous tax-hike proposals during her tenure in office.
These fact taken into account, IMO, speak strongly against what I'm sure will be spun as a right-wing assassination.
