Gabby Giffords launches group to counter gun lobby
NBC ^ | 1/8/2013 | Alastair Jamieson

A national initiative aimed at curbing gun violence was launched by former US. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and her husband, Mark Kelly, on Tuesday -- the second anniversary of the shooting that killed six people and left her critically injured.

A new campaign website, Americans For Responsible Solutions, promised to “launch a national dialogue and raise funds to counter influence of the gun lobby.”

The couple last week visited Newtown, Conn., where a gunman opened fire in an elementary school, killing 20 children and six adults in December. They also met with New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a gun control advocate.

An accurate description of ‘Gabby’ Giffords which coincidentally includes the majority of the party of the left. Raul Grijalva being the bottom of the barrel dregs in comparison.

I am tired of Mark Kelly, attention whore and Congressman-in-waiting, using his wife as a sock puppet for the advancement of his own political career. I'm pretty sure that Gabby Giffords chief concern these days is when she is getting her next bowl of oatmeal, not how to restrict 2nd amendment liberties. And by way,

“Gabby” survived her ordeal. Meanwhile, the US Constitution remains under assault and is on life support.

Its sucks what happened to her, but quite frankly, Im sick of hearing about this woman and her efforts toward a liberal agenda.

They did the same with Jim Brady - wheeling this poor guy out in a wheelchair at every fund-raiser, using him like a Ju-Ju doll to get the attendees to feel sorry and fork out the bucks.

I suspect the same impetus is at work here - lots of six-figure jobs as "administrators" in the new organization for the faithful.

Ms Giffords took an oath when she took her place in the House of Representatives to defend the United States Constitution, as did her husband.

Where, Mr and Ms Giffords, did that oath give you permission to “defend” only the parts of the Constitution with which you agree?

Right on, bro! Good post. Couple years ago, you’d have been banned for not praying for the LB. I think we’re starting to recognize the enemy around here.

Fortunately, they were kind to me here and allowed me to post the truth about Gabby. I wasn't always politically correct. I do agree with you that people seem to be waking up more to the real enemy around here. A lot of people were fooled then about how she was a "blue dog."

As someone who attended just about every one of her (few) public functions, and knew a lot of the behind-the-scenes things that went on, I all too well knew that not to be true. She was always a Bolshevik through and through.

Oh, they want a dialogue. OK, here's my contribution:

NO!

Dialogue's over.
