Mark Kelly warns GOP against filibustering Senate gun legislation
The Hill ^ | 3/31/13 | Vicki Needham

Posted on 03/31/2013 2:31:35 PM PDT by Nachum

Mark Kelly, the husband of former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (R-Ariz.), on Sunday warned GOP lawmakers not to filibuster efforts to pass gun control in the Senate.

"It is important to take action and the American people are demanding action now," said Kelly on “Fox News Sunday.”

Kelly’s comments came in response to five Senate Republicans — Sens. Marco Rubio (Fla.), Rand Paul (Ky.), Ted Cruz (Texas), Mike Lee (Utah) and James Inhofe (Okla.) – who said last week that they will filibuster any additional gun restrictions, as Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) prepares to move a gun bill.

Hey Mark, why don’t you do something productive like teaching your wife to sing “Putting on the Ritz”?

Mark is threatening to "target" politicians he disagrees with.

Isn't that what Sarah Palin allegedly did to Gabriella?

can we finally disregard this posterboy for goebles propaganda?

FNC had him on and it was such a beltway puffpiece as to be more about the country club defending its exclusivity.

He is such a jerk on camera it calls into question how the heck such an evil self centered douche came to be an astronaught.

hyppocrit kelly thought he could goebles a fake demand into a road to office.

He is an opportunist and a useful idiot of the left.

The MSM/DC/McCainiacs do not want this issue to die. for some reason they have an urgent NEED to disarm the citizens of the USA. This Kelly PR parade today is just a gasp to revive.

Mark Kelly is election poison for any politician next to him.

Now let's see if I got this straight. Gabby was shot with a Glock so we got to give up our AR-15. Right?

“Mark Kelly warns GOP against filibustering Senate gun legislation” or what? He’ll buy another AR -15.

"'It is important to take action and the American people are demanding action now,' said Kelly on 'Fox News Sunday.'"

Not the kind of Americans who comprise the largest part of the voting population by far.

Mark is looking to set up a non-profit organisation which he can bleed off funds from.

Who gives a rats ass what he thinks.

Mark Kelly can blow it out his...ear.

If he had been with his wife and armed he could have prevented a lot of people from being killed. Deep down he knows this and is feeling guilty. So he is trying to blame other people.

Is that harsh?

Yes.

True though.

he was doing a secret audio/video sting.

I would think the secret video with audio would fall under the illegal recording federal statutes.

it just screwed up his “hit piece” so the left is going forward with the story as if he was successful. He was supposed to have his “gotcha” video.
