Spouses of certain people who were shot (news worthy, not commoners like us), have a tendency to overcompensate for that tragedy by going into total opposition to the weapon, not the shooter.
Cases in point. Sara Brady (James Brady, Reagan’s press secy)
Carolyn Murphy’s husband, killed by Colin Ferguson? on a subway train (a racial black on white killing of at least 6 people). She is now a wacked out U.S. Representative from NY
Mark Kelly - Rep. Gabby Gifford’s husband.
and a couple whose names I have forgotten. Maybe Yoko Ono re John Lenon.
Notice that in the Murphy case, the shooter was close enough to have stabbed many of the people he shot, as was the killer of John Lenon.
The same for Loughner, the shooter of Gifford, and John Hinckley, the shooter of Brady, several law enforcement officers and Pres. Reagan.
Instead of trying to keep nuts from getting guns, or even being on the streets when they are known threats, these people take the easy way out, yet they are willing to jeopardize the lives of potential crime victims in the process.
This is not “concern” for people. It is exactly the opposite, a disdain for them.
There has to be a psychologic term for this type of person though I cannot think of it right now unless it is a “projectionist”.
on the form its a yes/no that you are buying it for you.
Straw purchase. The useful idiot slipped up.
Kudos to Mr. Douglas MacKinley.
Try Google or Bing
Mark Giffords (maiden name Kelly) is despicable.
How many laws did the shooting hoax break? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YO0al2ZtDw
