Houston trial lawyers Steve and Amber Mostyn say theyre giving $1 million to a gun-control group formed by former Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and her husband, astronaut Mark Kelly. Steve Mostyn is a major Democratic campaign contributor, backing candidates in Texas and nationally. He gave $3 million to Priorities USA Action, a super PAC aiding President Obamas re-election. Hes perhaps best known in Texas for launching a media campaign against Rick Perry two years ago in which he chided the Republican governor for his reluctance to debate in his 2010 reelection race with a full-page newspaper ad depicting Perry and the word Coward.
Mostyn, who describes himself as a gun-owner, says the group hopes to raise $20 million for the 2014 elections enough to match the National Rifle Associations political giving. The NRA spent $13 million last year trying to defeat President Obamas reelection. It also spent money in seven Senate races, losing six and winning one.
In media interviews, Mostyn said Americans for Republican Solutions with support pro-gun-control candidates and conduct a public education campaign with television spots. Giffords launched the new group this week.

Make more things illegal, drum up more business as a criminal defense attorney. A cynical money game.
What guns does he own, and which guns is he willing to give up? BTW, have you noticed how avid anti-gun advocates insist on pointing out that they are gun owners?

“I saw the interview with Giffords and her a-hole astronut husband. He is using her in the same shameless way Sara Brady used her spouse as a stage prop to raise money.”
These two couples remind of the Thenarders, cheating, stealing, picking pockets, dishonest in everyway.
Just to be clear--- Running a foundation can be a great job these days. So Giffords+ Astronaut will have very nice paycheck for years and sky-high medical benefits they will vote themselves. All Astronaut has to do is wheel her out for gun grabbing media appearances. My bet is they will take combined salaries of $500,000 per year from this scam foundation. Just my hunches
Same with Cindy Sheean.
It is amazing how much money democrats make in the trial lawyer industry.
I don’t suppose anyone ever wants to point out to democrats that A rich lawyer(like almost all of their politicians) are simply people who has become rich off the backs of the abused and the Government.
If that is more honorable than a Business man who has become rich off creating a product people WANTED to buy, then I don’t know by what measure any man can become illegitimately successful.
